News AMD X570 ITX Motherboards

So we have 1 confirmed so far:

The Crosshair VIII Impact is the ITX variant.

I'm hoping here that Asus think Zen 2 is amazing enough to revive Enthusiast class Impact boards and not offer us neutered versions like the Strix garbage they've been peddling for the last few years!

B550 boards are "speculated" to appear around 6 months after X570.

This was on someone's instagram but has been removed. ???

This would be so cool if it were real.

no chipset tho

I saw this on reddit it is just the Asrock board with a Byski block.

Yeah, that's clearly nothing more than a large but otherwise normal waterblock - the VRM and chipset heatsinks are both clearly still there, so a monoblock this is not.

Has anyone had any luck with upgrading the fan on the Gigabyte X570i?

 

[Valantar]

From doing a quick search on Mouser, there are 30mm Sunon Maglev fans in various thicknesses (6mm, 10mm, 15mm) that might do a good job at low noise levels.

@Analogue Blacksheep
Dondan said he was able to replace the entire top half of the heatsink with a noctua A4x20 fan using a 10mm M2.5 standoff and reusing the included chipset screws. He said you could also pull it off with spacers.

I might try it myself with a bunch of washers, I suspect it's also possible with a 40x10mm fan since the top half of the heatsink is about a cm thick.

I'd love to see some pictures of that. Sounds like a smart setup. Perhaps there might be room for an m.2 with its own heatsink that way?

Not ITX I know, but it's the 'only' mATX X570 board out there.........

Ditto, @dondan do have any pictures of the fan swap please?

 

[vex_sb]

It has. Some pages back, an ASUS representative on their official ROG Discord channel stated a late August to early September release date window. Really, it is kind of disappointing when all the other big names will have been on the market for about a month at that point. There is no word yet on confirmed pricing, though.

Considering what pieces of shit are rest of Asus 570 lineup, maybe its better they take time to pull they shit together and make proper board. I am long asus fan but they suck in 570 game.

Have my Gigabyte X570I on the way with a Samsung 970pro plus 250gb M.2 and a WD SN750 500gb M.2 and the Ryzen 3600. The 5700XT is doing good but I have noticed once the card loads up it pulls more power because my PSU fan kicks on sooner than my Vega 56. I have the fan curve set for it to hit 100% at 60c and with that the card does clock really high. I need to email Phanteks about the riser cable and see if it will be fine for PCIe 4.0.

So out of the current crop of itx boards, what do y'all recommend?

 

[Talyrius]

There's only two to choose from right now as, apparently, the Asus board isn't releasing until September. The IO, number of fan headers, and expansion slots (M.2) are the major differentiating factors.

Okay, so thunderbolt and bifurcation are a must. That limits me to the ASRock board, right?

Yes.

 

[Windfall]

Yes.

Fantastic, thanks.

My Gigabyte X570I came in last night with my Ryzen 5 3600 and the M.2 drives. Man, that 30mm fan is TINY!! The board is really heavy for the form factor and looks very well built. Going to rebuild my system this weekend once my fan hub comes in. I need to find the solid copper M.2 heat sinks in my box-o-parts to test fit. Just trying to figure out my SSD/HDD situation for what I need on my system.

Does it look like the Heatsink mounting for the chipset is in a traditional square pattern?

[FCase]

The Intel mounting looks more like a problem than a solution. Instead of using a supplied cooler, I now have to buy one to use this board. Not cool. ?
Gigabyte was able to get AMD cooling + TWO m.2 mounts. Still leaning toward GB.
Appears MSI and Biostar are only going to release B550 boards (no data supporting this, just my belief)
