Some of the PCI Express 4.0 lanes are built into the X570 chipset, but plenty of them are onboard the processor itself and this is clearly evident when you look at the performance of our M.2 drive on both platforms. If you only plan on utilising a single M.2 drive and single GPU combination there might not be a lot of need to go with the newest chipset if you've already got a good X370 setup, you just need to make sure your M.2 port is wired to the CPU and not the chipset. You can easily check this by looking at your boards PCIE wiring block diagram.

Having a Crosshair Hero VI it certainly a nice thing to know one could just drop a 3700x in there... but maybe the greed is real and I'll try the 3900x XDD However, probably more of a Winter Project ^^
Thanks again.Quote

I'm still not decided on what direction I want to go in, if any. It's an extreme amount of faff for me so I think I will leave it for now. I'll wait at least until launch prices drop. Should only be a couple of months so I guess my upgrade could be done this fall. At least then I would be able to have it powered on for more than one minute before feeling cooked.Quote
