Need a New Motherboard

So recently my CPU Fan header died :( so I have it plugged into the CPU_OPT header just until I can get a new board (I can see the fan spinning from where I sit and I just got a new CPU cooler). Currently I have a 3800x on an ASUS ROG Strix B450-F MOBO and I was just curious, which board do you think I should get? After looking at a lot of the X570 prices I became more hesitant to upgrade for the time being. Won't be using SLI and probably won't be overclocking. Will the X570's be worth it to upgrade to or would another B450 be sufficient for my needs? If I were to go with the new gen boards I was thinking the ASUS TUF X570 and I would also like to know some opinions on that as well. When it comes to computer components the MOBO is usually the part I know the least about so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

You wanna replace a board because of a fan header? why?

Losing a fan header is far from fatal, this is like putting down a pet hamster because it has broken one of its legs

A leg is far more extreme, you could lose all of the fan headers and it would not matter at all for performance, you would just lose automatic fan control but people prefer a constant low RPM anyway

in that case it makes OP's idea even more silly right?

I would say so, any fan that no longer has a position on the board can easily be remedied with a 4$ fan splitter
