The world of motherboards has seen significant advancements with the release of AMD's and two CPUs. As we dive deeper into the world of PC components, it's essential to examine how different manufacturers handle the chipset fan, a crucial aspect of cooling systems.
When it comes to the chipset fan, there are big differences in BIOS between Gigabyte and MSI. These two manufacturers offer the most extensive options, allowing users to pick or change their fan curve. Both Gigabyte and MSI now offer a semi-passive mode, meaning the fan will stop spinning completely until it's needed. Astro, on the other hand, comes with some different profiles and lets users customize it as well. However, there is no way to stop the fan in Asus motherboards, which seems odd given their extensive options and tweaks available in the BIOS for everything else.
It's worth noting that noise production is a significant factor in determining the overall quality of a motherboard. To assess this, we need to examine temperatures. In order to do so, I had to stress the chipset somehow. Running the PCI Express bandwidth test with the RX 5700 XT while simultaneously running Aorus and VM each on SSD helped achieve this. Fortunately, all these motherboards performed well in terms of temperature management, with the chipset ranging from 50 to 55 degrees depending on the motherboard. Even the ITX version reached a maximum temperature of 59 degrees, which is logical considering its smaller fan and heat sinks.
Interestingly, between these motherboards, there was only a couple of degrees difference in idle and stress conditions, indicating that they are all handling the chipset similarly. However, this means that we still haven't seen hardware that can truly push the chipset to its limits. I'm eager to see how things will change with the advent of more hardware using PCIe Gen 4, especially GPUs.
After examining the cooling performance of these motherboards, let's move on to noise production in idle mode. It's clear that Gigabyte and MSI have a significant advantage with their fan-stop feature, meaning we can't measure any noise. In contrast, Asus boards are slightly quieter than the Aorus Taichi, but it's essential to note that 39 decibels at just 10 centimeters isn't a significant amount of noise.
However, when looking at results under load, the difference between idle and loaded conditions is relatively small. Some other boards with fan-stop features would be beneficial in case of worst-case scenarios. Since the chips had their fans set to default profiles, they remained on even during loading tests. On the other hand, Amazon Astrix spun up to almost audible levels from a normal distance, while Gigabyte's motherboard went from being quietest to just as loud as the rest. The Aorus Taichi became noticeably quieter during loading tests.
It's also worth noting that there are similarities in fan behavior between different boards from Gigabyte and Asus. This makes sense given the shared handling and BIOS across their entire lineup. Moreover, due to the fan-stop feature of Amazon, Gigabyte, and the small temperature difference between idle and load, these motherboards can be completely silent when used with a compatible case.
In conclusion, even though Asus motherboards are clearly quieter under heavy loads, the implementation of a fan-stop feature in the Aorus motherboards is a significant advantage. In theory, constant airflow is good for temperatures, but there's such a small difference between idle and load conditions that picking a board with faster features might be better in the long run due to potential fan degradation.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that having a fan-stop feature in the BIOS is not too hard to implement, as I had noted from the start. Fortunately, the Aorus motherboards actually implemented this option. Therefore, the bottom line is that all these motherboards handle the chipset well and produce relatively quiet noise, making it essential to consider other factors when choosing a motherboard.
As for future plans, I've got 12 more motherboards lined up to test after AMD's initial release of and two CPUs. If you'd like me to create an update video with the rest of these motherboards, please let me know in the comments below. Keep in mind that if I don't do so, I won't bother because it takes too long to complete these tests. As always, thank you for watching, and if you liked this video, don't forget to subscribe, give a thumbs-up on this video, and see you in the next one.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys nada here and today I'm gonna talk about and see which of the X 570 motherboards is the quietest now as you already know pretty much all X 570 motherboards for the newest AMD's and 2 CPUs have an active fan on it and fans make noise so I wanted to see is there any differences between brands and how they actually handle it so here we have the Astro Taichi motherboard from asus rog we have the crosshair 8 hero also from asus we have a prime pro from amazon we have the Meg ace and here we have the ora stack so we have a master Pro and the only ITX motherboard you can currently get which is the pro ITX this for giggles I put the oars Xtreme here as well because of all the motherboards currently out this is the only motherboard that doesn't have a fan and this is a noise video so ultimately this motherboard wins but because I know that most of you don't have 700 euros to spend on a motherboard let's just see how the other ones do let's go this video is brought to you by the cooler master master box and our 400 a quality micro ATX case that offers great performance and a sleek design at a very decent price get yours using the links in the description below now it's clear that there are some differences in design of the fan itself although most brands decided to mostly high there's behind some fancy accessory it is worth pointing out that MSI is the only brand to put any marketing effort into their chipset fan claiming better performance and a longer lifespan than the competition but of course I cannot verify that yet now what is interesting is that there are big differences in BIOS when it comes to the chipset fan gigabyte and msi offer the most extensive options letting you pick or change your fan curve and both now offer a semi passive mode meaning the fan will stop spinning completely until it's needed Astro comes with some different profiles and lets you customize it as well but there is no way to stop the fan now Asus simply has no fan control over the chipset fan which is odd since they've got the most options and tweaks available in the BIOS for everything else now maybe that's something we are tissie okay so to look at noise we actually need to look at temperatures and for that I had to stress the chipset somehow so I ran the PCI Express bandwidth test with the rx 5700 XT while simultaneously running is stressing the Auris and VM each and for SSD now in this test all these motherboards actually did well while having the chipset around 50 to 55 degrees depending on the motherboard with only the ITX father were reaching the 59 degrees which is logical as smaller it has a smaller fan and has smaller heat sinks now funny thing is that between these motherboards in idle and stress there is only a couple of degrees difference which means that we still don't have hardware that is going to stress the chipset to its limits and I cannot wait to see what's going to happen when there is more hardware using the PCIe gen 4 especially GPUs but for that I think we'll have to wait a bit longer ok so knowing that the cooling of all these boards was fine and comparable let's look at the noise production in idle it is clear that gigabyte and MSI have a big advantage with their fan stopped feature meaning that we cannot measure any noise both Asus boards are clearly a bit quieter than the a stroke Taichi but I have to point out that 39 decibels at a mere 10 centimeters isn't that much now let's look at the results under load because the difference in these motherboards between running idle and being under load is so small and some other boards having a fan stop feature to account for a worst case scenario I said the chips had fans to their default profiles so they are always on here we see Amazon Astrix spin up to just about audible levels from a normal distance and gigabyte actually going from being the quietest to just about louder than the rest an ace is actually becoming noticeably de quietest it is also worth noting there are clear similarities in fan behavior between the different boards of gigabyte and Asus for example which makes sense as the handling and BIOS is probably shared across the entire lineup it's worth pointing out the due to the fan store feature of the Amazon gigabyte and the small temperature difference between idle and load the Amazon gigabyte boards can be completely silent too depending on what case you use of course so let's draw some conclusions from this now even though the ASUS motherboards are clearly the quietest under heavy loads I have to say the fact that you can turn off the fan on the Amazon in the Auris motherboards is great because they stay completely quiet in idle and that's where it matters the most because if you put your system under load while gaming or rendering the CPU cooler and the graphics card are almost always going to be louder than your motherboard so it won't matter anyways in theory constant airflow is good for temperatures but the thing is there is such a small difference between idle and load here so far so actually picking a board that has a faster feature is better in the long run because there is such a thing as a fan degradation and I really do hope that the other brands like Asus and a stroke are gonna implement a fan stop feature in their bias in the future because it's actually not that hard and as I had it from the start but the Auris motherboards actually just implemented that option so the bottom line is that all these motherboards are handling the chipsets really well and staying quiet enough so you not gonna hear them in real-life scenarios which is important so noise production shouldn't be the reason of choosing a motherboard but I have to say the fan stop feature is a strong argument of taking one motherboard over the other alright that's it for today thank you so much for watching keep mine these are the first eight motherboards that we got when AMD's and two CPUs came out and since then we actually got 12 more so we have 20x 570 motherboards if you want me to do an update video with the rest of the motherboards please let me know in the comments down below
