Quite x570 motherboards for 3700x?

[tdhttt]

Hey! I am planning to build a pc around Ryzen 3700x and RTX 2070. I was really interested in the ASRock Taichi. However, as I did more research, I found that its chipset fan runs quiet load. So I am wondering if there are some quiet x570 motherboards around $300-$400 range. Thanks!

If you’re only gaming you could get a B450 and 3600, then put more money towards a GPU.

Or just go for the 5700XT for around the same price as the 2070 (wait for AIB cards, they come soon), it's within 10 fps, give or take, of the 2070 Super. So you get better fps on the GPU side, while keeping the same CPU and getting a mobo with more features. 

OP, why not go in the $200 range? From Buildzoid's vid: 

 

The $200 boards have the same VRMs and sometimes features the more expensive boards don't (built in wifi on some $200 boards where the $250-300 version doesn't have it).

Unless you absolutely need something X570 has that X470 doesn't (like Gen4 PCIe for whatever reason), I kinda feel stepping back a generation of board might be of interest to you since most (if not all) X470 boards don't have chipset fans, and you could still get a Taichi.

3700x should be completely fine with a b450 considering it pulls like 90+ W under load

If you can, do one of the nicer B450 motherboards unless you absolutely need Pcie Gen 4. I did a build last week that's a 3700x, 2070 Super with the Gigabyte X570 Gaming X, and even under heavy load with stress testing and a decent OC I never heard the chipset fan get louder than the other fans in the case. I agree with @Daniel Z.  having used the 3600 with a B450 board myself on another build and testing it pretty thoroughly, the 3600 is pretty much the same performance wise as an i7-8700k(the 3600 has only about 4% less performance in Cinebench) I was fairly impressed especially because of the price. Unless you absolutely need Gen 4. or the 3700X then the 3600 is a great CPU, and either way 3700x or 3600 a good B450 board will be more than enough.

Fair enough. Didn't remember if ASRock made a B450 Taichi so didn't bother bringing it up (since OP stated he wanted one).

OP could grab a B450 tomahawk or gaming pro carbon. tomahawk would be a good fit

Rx 5700 xt is the same price and better iirc.

Taichi is x series only. 

 

Tho at the B450 tier the tomahawk derivatives and Pro carbon from MSI are the go to choices for bios Flashback and decent VRM solutions.

Any reason why the 300$ mark, any special needs?

If it's for power, and overclock, it's a waste since AMD boost to the max and leaves no oc headroom.

 

Try the X570 Steel Legend, quite good for the price and plenty of features, as far as I know it runs pretty quiet and it doesnt overheat.
