Fanless MSI X570S Motherboard Leaks – More fanless X570 motherboards are coming!

Rumour has it that AMD plans to launch new X570S series motherboards soon. These X570-Silent motherboards will feature an optimised PCH with lower power requirements, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create fanless X570 motherboards with a refreshed feature set. 

WCCFTECH has released a picture of what they call the “First Fanless X570 Board”, showcasing what appears to be an updated X570 Carbon series motherboard. Sadly, WCCFTECH’s claim that this motherboard is “First” is flat out wrong, as Gigabyte has their X570 Aorus Xtreme and ASUS has their ROG X570 CrossHair VIII Dark Hero, both of which lack PCH fans. 

Regardless, MSI’s fanless X570 motherboard is a clear sign of things to come, a new range of fanless X570 motherboards with a modernised feature set and an updated aesthetic. Most X570 motherboards launched with the Ryzen 3000 series in 2019, making most X570 motherboard designs almost two years old. 

No Fan, No Problems

Many PC enthusiasts hate AMD’s X570 platform, as the small PCH fans within most motherboard designs are seen as an unwanted source of noise. For PC builders who value silence, X570’s PCH fans are a cause of concern, even if they are rarely turned on. 

AMD’s X570S chipset is designed to address this issue, offering users an optimised design that should make fanless designs more common. This addresses a longstanding issue with X570, albeit a minor one.
