Not much will change the situation, I’ve done a lot of swapping round, so much so I’ve had to pay out for a gpu riser, I went for the CORSAIR Premium PCIe 3.0 seems to work on pcie 4.0 at 3.0 speeds I haven’t got anything to test 4.0 speeds... I believe my riser was also revision two, revision one had problems apparently... temperature are extremely bad for the asus X570 boards, the asus design team have done a very poor job, placing the chipset right in line with the 1st pcie 16x slot, which is right behide the gpu, one of the hottest Components in any system “such a smart idea” if I leave my gpu in that slot I see chipset temperatures between 92c and 96c when playing games, the system is also effected idle as the gpu is still warm, temperatures between 82c and 87c, if I move the gpu towards the glass front Using my riser I’m seeing chipset Temperatures of 82c and 87c playing games when Sitting idle it’s now 60c or around that, gpu is now hurting because it’s right up against the glass, 92c on gpu, use to be 75c, I’ve changed the thermal Pad on the chipset and it’s changed nothing, it looks like they used putty, it’s like a cross between a thermal paste and a thermal pad, I think I used a 1mm thermal pad and temperature are worse after doing the change by 1c / 3c This is my 2ed bad experience with asus, I had a z79 back in the day from them and flashback stopped working, on the board I could see a chip with black stuff on it so I assume it blown up board still works to this day, however warranty support in U.K. didn’t offer to pay costs to sent the board to them so nothing got done, it was a struggle to even open a case with them back in the day the website would go offline randomly As I was filling the forums out of the support website would just randomly lose what you put in it, phone support won’t talk to motherboard owners, with this X570 board I opened a case with them about the chipset they told me to change the paste and support was still a pain to Open a case with, 404 errors and randomly losing what I enter, they expect you to fill out what all your hardware is what speeds it’s all running at a detailed overview of the problem in less than 15 minutes... anyway because I brought my board from a shop in Czech Republic I Apparently have no warranty even though Czech Republic is a European country, I’m in the United Kingdom which is still part of the Eu, but apparently none of that counts so no warranty, to add to matters the cheap plastic Wi-fi Antenna has broken and they won’t replace it, asus are literally the worst manufacturer I have dealt with... they don’t support you or care about you after the sale, icue is meant to work with asus rgb it doesn’t, it doesn’t with the rgb strips anyway only with the motherboard lights... unfortunately the shop wouldn’t refund me so I’m left like this now - I think asus should recall these boards but that’s my opinion
