ASRock’s X570 is the first board I get my hands on to test with the new Ryzen 3700x we reviewed last week. The most premium new board in ASRocks 3rd generation Ryzen lineup, the heft price comes with hefty features. In this review we’ll find out if it’s worth it.

    300$? For a motherboard? Better off spending half that and pumping extra cash into a CPU or GPU.... spending this on a motherboard is actually insane

    He did mention that this is the most premium version of this board. It's not for folks who need a better gpu or cpu.

    Premium or not it isn't worth that price...

    You can already see the quality and engineering you gonna get with Asrock when their 3.2 USB port which is a premium feature, cannot be used when you have a... GPU.

    As if someone is gonna pay that premium price and use an integrated GPU and not a dedicated one.

    Stay away from Asrock, they are atrocious and their BIOS interface is like from the 90s.

    These are designed for suckers, the people who think a product that costs more money is better. If you know what you are doing and how things functions you'd never buy a "premium" board.

    I picked up the MSI meg x570 Ace for my Ryzen 9 3900x

    Runs amazing with the RTX 2080 ti
    Have both water-cooled with a custom loop I myself made using corsair pump and cpu block
    on a 360mm EK rad / rigid line 14mm
    an Vector ti rgb EK water block for the 2080 ti
    32gb ddr4 ram @ 3600mhz

    I have to say, I'm really glad I upgraded. The new gen 4 PCIe 4.0 is crazy fast
    using the corsair mp600 force 2tb gen 4.0 m.2 sdd as my main drive.

    I have never owned a Taichi board before, but I got to say the new x570 chipset is amazing!
    At first I was worried the small fan would drive me nuts but it's no where near the noise I expected.

    If you have the funds to spare, I would definitely recommend it!

    That is your personal opinion.


    For others who have enough money -and are willing- to spend, it is worth it.

    I really like my x370 Taichi a lot so I was definitely looking at this, but then again I may stick with the x370 since I just need to do a BIOS update. $300 is a bit rough, but I spent $200 on the x370 when it first came out, whats another $100 in the grand scheme of things.

    The USB Gen 3.2 thing is troubling though. Are there no 90 degree connectors that could possibly solve this issue?

    Also, I just did a WiFi card upgrade to the Intel AX200 to prepare for a router upgrade to 802.11ax and did see about a 70MB/s upgrade on the upload speed over the Intel 3168 AC WiFi chip on the stock x370 Taichi board.

    For $30 on Amazon ~70MB/s and future-proofing (not really a thing on computers but you know what I mean) I think it's not a bad deal.

    70 MB/s sounds a bit small upgrade. Are you sure you aren't accidentally using the 2.4 GHz frequency?

    This not even premium

    Look at MSI x570 Godlike... its $700 for the motherboard alone and its sold out everywhere

    That's premium.
    It also pretty ridiculous pricing for suckers...lol

    About the only reason for x570 right now is if you absolutely need pcie 4.0 for some reason.
