Found something interesting in the manual for the x570 Unify..... apparently there is no pci-e 4 with a gen2 ryzen installed, unless someone can confirm other wise.

Gen 2 ryzen is the 2000 series, indeed there is no PCIE 4.
Zen 2 Ryzen is the 3000 (Gen 3)

Altthough Zen+ is just an evolution of Zen 1, its still a Generation increment (like how Intel has incremented Skylake 100 times)

Have this board have 2 actually liked mine so much I replaced my Wifes Gigabyte, awesome board and your right about the chipset fan only ever seen it run once and that was with a closed case and a 3090 throwing heat at it on a vertical mount, I do have RGB but at least its only on the things I want.

One point though on the MSI boards 1 8 pin does the CPU the other does the PCI slots etc so its best to have both plugged in
The one thing I dislike is the USB C connection on the bottom of the board case front panel leads are not long enough to get to it unless you run across the case rather than route the cable properly makes it messy
Hi, dont know where you got your info but both 8 pin sockets are for the cpu....page 29 of the manual.....left socket for cpu pwr1 and the right for cpu pwr2.....exactly the same as my Asus prime x570pro im using until my 5800x arrives.

I thought the 2k were gen 1+, i know 3k are gen 2 but the manual is not exactly clear

y 2x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x16 slots (PCI_E1, PCI_E3) ƒ 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ support PCIe 4.0 x16/x0, x8/x8 modes ƒ 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ support PCIe 3.0 x16/x0, x8/x8 modes ƒ Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics support PCIe 3.0 x8 mode* y 1x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E5, supports x4 mode) y 2x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x1 slots**

Page 36 of the manual says m.2 slots 1 2 and 3 are pci-4x4 for gen3 and pci-3x4 for gen2.

Feels like theyve taken a b550 board manual and stuck a x570 badge on it
