Biostar Racing X570GT8 (Ryzen 3000) Motherboard Photo and Specs
Perhaps Biostar was a bit envious after the MSI tease, so here is their "Racing X570GT8". This is the first actual real photo of X570, the new chipset for ZEN2 / Ryzen 3000.
Looking at the motherboard you can see a powerful VRM, likely to deal with the rumored 16-core proc. The board draws juice from 8+4 pin EPS connectors and the leaked PDF reveals a 12-phase VRM. The usual suspects are there, two metal-reinforced PCI-Express x16 slots and yeah, that would be PCI-Express gen 4.0. Memory support is listed up-to 4000 MHz btw, there are three PCIe x16 slots and one PCIe x1 slot on board. In terms of connections, we see one gigabit Ethernet port and one DVI display connection. Finally, this data confirms that the X570 chipset supports fourth generation PCI express / PCIe 4.0. We will probably find out more during Computex. An active chipset cooler (fan), I have not seen that in a while. Hope it's not a trend.

Tbh the first time I saw the MSI X570 "teaser" photo, I thought it's SB heatsink below had or at least looked like it could house a small fan based on parallelogram mesh-ish like shape cutout at it's top and what it looks like vents below it. "Similarly" to ASUS Monstrosity Extreme SB heatsink.
But who knows. It could even be a tiny OLED display. :p
So unless more X570 mobos surface with active cooling requirements for the SB chip, it could well just be a Biostar/ECS design thing.

Some birdies say low end boards due to cost will have to go with passive and are likely to throttle with the high end processors and high end boards will all have to have active cooling.
That 16 core is going to be quite thirsty. Just look at that 8+4pin, hungerly looking!
Small fans make noise. Heatink -> Passive, let airflow inside the chassis do the rest.

If the new Zen 2.0 and X570 boards are OC friendly- then AMD gonna get massive amount of free publicity from the OC community and world wide OC competition events that all convert to AMD after 10 years that only Intel was used.
For reference -if Ryzen 2700X could OC to ~6.65GHz then it could match 9900K@7GHz WR in CB R15, so zen 2.0 with 4000Mhz+ memory and ~10%IPC- you get the picture.
Pluse, adding 16C to the competition, it's going to be more fun+ the hardware will be cheaper then HEDT X299 + it's i9 CPU's= more OC friendly.

I actually like the northbridge/southbridge cooler on this as long as it's just rpms in the hundreds and not in the thousands. Hottest thing on my pc is the mobo chipset especially when i am watch high res streams. Even my GFX card sits at around 40C doing this but northbridge temp are 60+. Althought i'm told these chipsets can reach 80C no problem.
So not really an issue but i would like it to be lower while being passively cooled and only watching videos.
