good move
pcie4 is plenty
but it needs to be cheaper than b660 that offers pcie5

Have had my fan come on a couple of times, its set to only activate after 60 degC and that was following a huge couple of file transfers NVME to NVME, the only reason I knew it was on was because i saw it, in reality its pretty silent, sounds like an excuse to bash AMD to me

On a gigabyte x570 fan isnt even running when chipset temps are below 60c.

i switched to an x570s (Aero G) from x570 (Gaming Pro) because of the chipset fan. my M.2's are in RAID and i regularly transfer huge files so that little guy would spin right up... and out of every fan in my system the chipset fan was the worst quality (3 x 360mm rads w/ Scythe fans plus a Noctua exhaust fan) so out of 10 add-on fans the only noise i heard was the chipset. and yes, it was the bearings.
if i didn't have the case up on the table with me i probably wouldn't have heard it, but i do and i did and that's my story.
any case i think the x670 "e" is BS as far as techpowerup goes. the AIB's would've leaked this already as they have issues with social media and their employees (esp. in China).

I wonder if AM5 will support DDR4 since it's also supporting PCIe 4.0 I heard it wasn't but this is news to me.
