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).

That pretty much confirms that X570 north/south bridge runs pretty hot. All X570's i've seen so far have fans on the mobo chipset.

I'm intrigued about double PCIe x16, if it is indeed two real x16.

Almost seems like AMD is trying to push Crossfire or maybe something enhanced like nvidia did with the nvlink.

That could work as a replacement for my GTX1080 if the best Navi is about RTX2080 only, as i'm looking for something similar to 2080Ti or better.

PCIe is not only for GPU,it is used more and more for SSD system (in raid or not ) as an exemple...

Since it is now pretty obvious the X570 gets pretty hot, I'm now much more curious if the B550 will need a chipset fan.

my question is, why is this fan required? yes it runs hot.. but why exactly? Will the x470 performs as good as the x570 when pared with the new line of CPUs? if yes, i would just wait for a better version of x570s as my experience with mobos that need a fan on the south bridge was always bad.
