With recent rumors and new regarding a new line of X570S boards coming out which will include a more efficient with lower temps chipset which will not require fans, I am finding my self in a predicament.

I do not really trust and I am trying to stay away from MBs with chipset fans.

While some current X570 board manufacturers offer Mainboards without fans they expensive and really hard to find at MSRP.

I have all of the components and the one and only thing I am Missing is the Motherboard.

Any Suggestions? Should I wait until August / September, Are there any option other I missed?

I appreciate your comments and support.

Decent motherboard with a decent case will work fine.  What are you doing with the machine?

So much hay was made when X570 was first released over the active chipset cooling, and then it amounted to a whole lot of nothing. Based on the spec, it's possible for the chipset to get hot enough to need cooling, but in practice it virtually never does. There's no need to wait for X570S out of some antagonism against a chipset fan. It's pretty never even going to run anyways.

X570's selling point is extra chipset PCIe lanes. If you dont need more of those, just get a high end B550.

Spoken like someone that's never owned an X570 board...

 

Firstly, the X570 Taichi chipset does get really hot under load. In theory it shouldn't if nothing needs to traverse through it, but it does... Secondly, fan failure rates are pretty high. Even ASRock were (maybe still is) on backorder with replacements. It also doesn't help that it's right behind the primary PCIe x16 slot where heat from the GPU dumps right on it. And if you use the heatsink plate, the chipset dumps heat onto the M.2 SSDs to where they will start flagging warnings of overheating.

So in conclusion, avoid X570 and wait for the X570s.

With the B550 do I need to go through the BIOS update nightmare since I will be running the 5950x? I was looking at the  ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming, with one PCI 4 for my GPU, 1 NVME gen 4 and 1 NVME gen 3. for $200.

Most likely not because Zen 3 CPUs came out quite some time now, boards you buy will be new enough to have BIOS that supports them. However I recommend you keep the BIOS and chipset driver (which goes to the OS) up to date because optimizations are being made all the time.

Spoken like someone that has no idea what they're talking about. I've got an X570 board right now. Chipset fan doesn't run, because it doesn't need to. Never gets over 50C. ASRock is kind of crap, so maybe that's your issue? Try a good board.

This guy has his chipset rocket to 84c, yet in that same chart, his MB was at 49c with the CPU at 63c. And your response below says inadequate case cooling??!! I guess ASUS makes a crap X570 board too amiright?
