Colorful X570AK Gaming Pro Photo leaks (AMD X570), shows active chipset cooler also

Colorful X570AK Gaming Pro Photo leaks (AMD X570), shows active chipset cooler also

Remember a couple of days ago when Biostar leaked AMD X570 details and the photo showed a board with active chipset cooler? Well, a new photo leaked this round from Colorful and guess what? Will the annoying noise making small fans on the chipset IC make a return? We certainly hope that is not the case.

The image of the X570AK Gaming Pro spotted by Wccftech, like the Biostar Racing X570GT8, features a small fan integrated into the heatsink of the X570 chipset. By software, the fan should be able to be regulated, so potentially a reduction in the volume seems possible at lower speed, but at the expense of the cooling performance.

Rumors in advance that the X570 chipset has a comparatively high TDP in the range of 15 watts are now supported by the use of active cooling. However, this does not necessarily mean that X570 motherboards will not appear without a fan. 

Other features of the X570AK Gaming Pro include ten VRM phases for powering the CPU and two additional phases for DDR4 RAM housed in four DIMM slots. Supposedly up to 64 GB of RAM are supported, with overclocking up to 3,466 MHz effective clock should be possible. Biostar has even advertised the Racing X570GT8 with up to 4,000 MHz OC. With which clock the memory controller of the new Ryzen 3000 CPUs officially works, remains uncertain, but an increase of DDR4-2933 (Ryzen 2000) on DDR4-3200 is more likely.

 

 

For the PCIe slots there should be three PCIe Gen 4 x 16 slots , but not all have 16 electrical lines. The two metal-reinforced x16 slots should be electrically configured x16 + x4 or x8 + x8work; on the third port is the label "x4". Mind you, the new standard PCI Express 4.0 brings a doubling of the data rate, which means that PCIe 4.0 x8 achieves a throughput of PCIe 3.0 x16. The three PCIe x1 slots are also given PCIe 4.0 in the report, but the interfaces of the two heat sink M.2 ports for SSDs are not discussed. In any case, it is not clear yet how many PCIe 4.0 lines will be provided by the new Ryzen CPUs (Matisse) and how many by the X570 chipset. The use of PCIe 4.0 is also considered as a possible cause of high power consumption in the chipset.

As far as I/O is concerned, the board has an audio ALC 1150 codec, HDMI, DP, LAN + WiFi (RTL8118AS-CG Gigabit) port, 2 USB 3.1 Gen 2, 5 USB 3.0 and 6 USB 2.0 ports . "In addition, there are six SATA ports and RGB lighting. Mainboards of Colorful usually do not reach the German market.

...and how long will that little fan last until it seizes up and causes system instability from overheating chipset chips?

I don't like the idea of a fan there. Plain and simple.

Oh my god, last time i had a mobo with a fan in south bridge was back when core 2 duo came out. like 2002 or something... 3 mobos got fried in less and 3 years all 3. Very bad design, wonder why they felt they needed to add a fan there.

As mentioned in the Biostar thread already, AMDs X570 chipset produces a lot of heat in certain usage scenarios. This has been confirmed by various insiders, however they couldn't (or would not) tell which usage that is. As such, it is very likely that many, if not most, X570 boards will come with a chipset fan. Its not done by choice, but by necessity.

Can only hope that high-end boards use high-quality fans which won't fail within a few months already.

Maybe an AMD requirement???- rumors:

The previous AMD chipsets were made by ASMedia, which introduced some early challenges in development for the 1000-series Ryzen parts. For the new series of chipsets, our understanding is that AMD will be designing the silicon itself rather than tapping ASMedia for assistance
