MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon and Plus for AMD Ryzen 3000 Leak
Photos have leaked from MSI's upcoming X570 gaming motherboards. It's a twofold of boards, the X570 Gaming Pro Carbon and the X570 Gaming Plus. Once again the motherboards have an active fan on board on top of the chipset and shows a dual PCIe x16 slot, likely PCIe Gen 4.
The new motherboards surfaced at Videocardz and both are based on the upcoming AMD X570 (PCH) chipset, designed for the new Ryzen 3000 series. We had a debate earlier on about the active chipset cooler, from the looks of it, most X570 motherboards are going to get them, which kind of blows as small fans often are very noisy. You'll notice the Gaming Pro Carbon has four DDR4 DIMM slots, and six SATA III ports and two PCIe x16 slots, two PCIe x1 slots and two x4 slots. Gaming Plus model shows two PCIe x16 slots and three x1 slots.
These X570 will be announced at Computex later this month. You may expect two slots to be PCIe Gen 4.0 compatible as well as getting Wi-Fi 6 support (AX).

I don't like that chipset active cooling. I thought those days are gone for good.
Small noisy fans annoy the hell out of me.
Big meh for me.

Will wait for official releases and reviews.
And about nostalgia sake, anyone's remembers AMD socket 939 motherboards with Nvidia chipsets??
Asus, DFI and many more had fans cooling the chipset.

MSI design is better since from the pictures the chipset fan is situated as lower as possible in order to not interfere with a big graphic card which is my opinion seems the main issue now with these boards.

Yeah. My last memory of a chipset fan was replacing one with a passive cooling element many years ago. The fan had started to sound like a circular saw. It's kind of interesting how such a small thing can produce so much noise.
