Is that a design flaw, or just a consequence of saturating two PCIe 4.0 x4 buses over a sustained period (which I understand is the condition which draws more power/requires cooling)?
Honest question.
This article here is enlightening still for my point above, that PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 are pushing this technology to its limits: https://www.eetasia.com/news/article...t-at-what-cost

Regarding the X570 chipset:
- There have been chipsets in the past that have used much more power.
- The fan is only needed to provided additional cooling under certain circumstances.
- I see the inclusion of active cooling as a motherboard vendor thing than a fault of AMD. There is no reason why a properly designed cooling setup (heatsinks with proper fins and heatpipes) would not be able to keep this chip cool. Instead of all the plastic shrouds and lights, vendors should have focused on proper cooling. It's not like these boards are going to be cheap (people are already speculating $300-400).

Isn't there any aftermarket fan for PCH or water cooler block for it? Like the ones we buy for CPU etc

You have to thank AMD for that engineering disaster as that design was built in-house and - as it turns out - drew much more power under certain conditions.
Honest question.

I thought I heard something about the fans on the X570 boards only spinning up when needed? (which I assume will be under high sustained I/O workloads, like using PCIe 4.0 SSDs). Might have been one of recent videos by Hardware Unboxed.
Overall excited by Zen 2 and X570. Hoping to see RX5700 support come to the kernel+mesa soon so I can build a complete new AMD system in August/September.

We don't even have that many PCIe 4.0 devices on the market, and 5.0 is already announced?
