Thanks for pointing that out - I've been nosing around as I consider what I want to build next, and I hadn't realized the X570s tend to need chipset fans. That's a deal-killer for me. Either it's going to be noisy as all get-out, or it's going to be some cheap part that fails prematurely, assuming it isn't both. I definitely prefer big and slow for fans.

The new crop of X570 boards, labeled X570S or something, do not have a chipset fan. (Also on the original ones, the fans might've had full silent modes where they only spin up when pushing big PCIe bandwidth over the chipset?)

There’s a few like the X570 Dark Hero which also don’t have a chipset fan but don’t use the X570S label.
