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.

The way i see it, there are only two boards that interest me here: ASRock's mATX board (mATX should be the standard, default motherboard size, in my opinion), and Gigabyte's Aourus Extreme. The latter because it actually cools the chipset passively, which, after seeing De8auer's video - is more than possible. The buzzy little fans are a terrible idea.Arbie - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
So many people have pointed out for weeks now that these fans will probably rarely even spin up, much less be buzzy, much less wear out soon. But complaining about them seems to be an obsession. Before ruling out whole lines of mobos you might want to at least wait for a test.haukionkannel - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
The problem is that some boards keep those fans running even when They idle... we need information how these boards manage that fan!mikato - Thursday, July 11, 2019 - link
So why don’t they just put a bigger heatsink on them then? They have plenty of space. Motherboards have had far better heatsinks on those in the past.JNHagis - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link

You are correct, we just used the information provided by ASUS. I trust Libors analyisJackbender - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
The workstation-grade ASUS Pro WS X570-Ace not having 10GbE is a mystery to me.It would have been a clear buy choice for me otherwise.

I also wonder why they don’t have windows 2016 driverslenghui - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
Thanks for putting this together, Gavin. A complete x570 motherboard information is hard to find and I am glad that AT has gathered them all in one article. This is going on my bookmarks for sure. I would love to see reviews of some of the ITX boards and the only mATX board.gavbon - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
Never a problem :D
