X570 recommendations

Hey guys, I have a 5950X. I'm currently running a X370 board and I'm considering an upgrade for PCIe 4 and better memory support. With a plan to upgrade to 64 or 128GB ram in future. 

 

So, help me out?

Well, even though I have an X570 board myself, but first recommendation would be to consider whether you really need X570? Most people can get by just fine with a nice B550 board. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

I am in need of PCIe Gen 4 on the whole board, and I don't believe B550 gives that?

What do you mean by on the whole board exactly? X570 does have more gen 4 lanes, you can run two gen 4 NVMe drives on it compared to only one on B550 I think.

More specifically Gen 4 on both x16 slots and for at least one M.2 slot 

To be clear, I'm not expecting them to both be x16 when running two GPUs. Which is why I'm wanting gen4.

Can only really offer my experience with my X570 Crosshair VIII Hero as I've had zero issues since AMD worked the early bugs out. Have been on it for 3 years.

B550 can do that. Only a handful of B550 boards can, but it is fully possible. The first one off the top of my head that does is the B550 Taichi, and that is a pretty solid board and cheaper than most comparable X570 boards.

People meme about ASRock but I have not a single complaint with my ASRock X570 Velocita, so +1 for the Taichi.

Yeah, they have a lot of good board. They probably have the biggest swing in board quality out of the big four (their bad boards are really bad and their good boards are really good), but their AMD boards since about B450 have been pretty reliably good. My X570 Taichi was also really solid back when I still had it.

Running with my ASUS X570 Dark Hero from ASUS and haven't had a major problem with it (knock on wood). I've been using it for a little more than 2 years now and BIOS updates have been pretty decent. I picked this X570 motherboard only for the reason as it had a passive chipset heatsink at the time, with Gigabyte's X570 Aorus Extreme being the only other...which I did not want to go with Gigabyte at the time after their saga of blowing up PSUs. This was before X570S (which have passive heatsinks by design, unlike ASUS or Gigabyte's X570 MB).

I just picked up a Dark Hero after the tragic passing of my Strix B550-XE. That board and the Dark Hero for sure can drive a 5950X to its limits..
