The AMD X570 Motherboard Overview: Over 35+ Motherboards Analyzed
by Gavin Bonshor on July 9, 2019 8:00 AM ESTX570 Power Delivery Specification & Comparison
One of the most talked about aspects of any high-end motherboard lately is the quality of its power delivery system. At a high level, all X570 motherboards have to adhere to a couple of factors, the most important of which is support for the upcoming Ryzen 3950X 16c/32t processor. This means manufacturers needed to work even harder in creating suitable and efficient power delivery systems to ensure full compatibility with the Ryzen 3000 series.
Meanwhile, we're also keeping a look out for any cases where manufacturers may be embellishing their power delivery claims, advertising a board as being more capable than it really is. After some bad history and what has happened in the last two years there, we hope to (and expect) to see less of that with the X570 chipset.
As power delivery is usually one of the most requested items for any of our motherboard content, prior to the launch we reached out to all the motherboard vendors to find out what power delivery systems each of their new X570 boards are equipped with. Below is a table of the official information we have compiled from each of the vendors, with a question mark (?) denotes when we don't have information available.
Please note that this information is self-reported, so until we can review any given X570 board, we're operating on the honor system, trusting vendors to supply honest and upfront information. And we will be checking, and we will be keeping this page up-to-date as more information becomes available.

As we get more information from vendors or reputable sources, we will update the table. As we get more and more X570 boards in for review, we can go deeper into the analysis in each individual review over the upcoming months.

Noooooooo I paid $20 extra for the Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard!MDD1963 - Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - link
*Must* have a 10 GBe capable board to connect to my 750 Mbps service...!!! :)DanNeely - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
The greater than 1gb ethernet is so you can have full bandwidth for eg 100gb steam installs in a few years when your ISP offers a >1gb service.Gastec - Tuesday, July 16, 2019 - link
LMAO!Qasar - Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - link
all these people complaining about the chipset fan, but has any one actually heard them yet ??shabby - Thursday, July 11, 2019 - link
Back in the day we had chipset fans... they all sound alike.Qasar - Friday, July 12, 2019 - link
and back in the day.. my case fans were still more noticeable then the one on the south bridgemikato - Thursday, July 11, 2019 - link
I would love to know what they sound like. They were horrible in the past and I went out of my way to find mobos with passive cooling. They actually had decent heatsinks on them.Steelbom - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
Is the Phantom Gaming 4 sufficient for the 3900X?shabby - Thursday, July 11, 2019 - link
If a b350 can run a 3900x at 4ghz then I'm sure any cheap x570 board is sufficient. The 3900x uses around 170watts when running with PBO. The thing is these new chips don't overclock well at all so I doubt you'll need pricey mobos with 16 phases to run them, they only clock to 4.3ghz at best on water.
