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).

It will probably be a smart fan, not a stupid fan, and only run as fast as necessary. I recommend those for your other fans too.
I'll be putting a fan on the CPU - on the mobo - anyway. Done right, another fan in there doesn't worry me. If it needs the cooling, provide the cooling.
Someday we'll be saying the same thing about CPU coolers. And case fans.

The last thing I want is another stupid fan in my case

Not going to buy any motherboard with fans on it.

I don't like that chipset active cooling. I thought those days are gone for good.

Will wait for official releases and reviews.

The main problem for me with those chipset cooling fans is... When it fails what do you replace it with...?
If it fails out of warranty then better hope X company provides such spare parts, if they are still in business themselves.
When the fan on my DFI board went, so had the company... -.-

it suggests pci-e 4.0 is fast and hot.
The 500-Series chipsets will consume more power (~15W) than the 28nm chipsets (~8W) used on current AM4 motherboards, but that's because the 500-series chipsets also support PCIe 4.0. We weren't told the specific lane allocations of the new chipset, but those faster lanes will be useful for numerous types of secondary I/O devices.
