The arrival of a new chipset still gives birth to lots of motherboards. The next X570 AMD will depart from this tradition. For several weeks leaks have released pictures of different X570 motherboards showing that a fan was still present on the chipset heater.

Chipset X570: more information

The explanation seems to have been found in a recent diagram (unofficial!) About its features. This chip seems to be accompanied by a substantial thermal envelope at least equal to 15 Watts. So its cooling needs require an active solution which explains the presence of this small fan at all manufacturers.

The document confirms what we have known for a long time already. The X570 put the spotlight on the PCIe Gen 4.0. The communication with the processor is entrusted to four lines PCIe 4.0 is enough to double the bandwidth. The machine will handle four USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, two USB 3.1 ports, six 6Gbps SATA, two M.2 ports, as well as PCI-Express 4.0 x1 and PCI-Express 4.0 x4 slots.
