AMD X570 Puts Out Up To Twelve SATA 6G Ports and Sixteen PCIe Gen 4 Lanes

[turbogear]

Yes that one marked in circle.
X370/X470 only have 2 10Gps USB 3.1 port. The header one need editional cheap. Thats why some highend and midrange X370/X470 board have it
But X570 chipset have 8 10Gbps USB 3.1 port, so no extra chip needed. As a result all X570 should have at least one Type-C header. Many new X570 board dont have it which is unacceptable.

Yes I agree.
I think it would only add a few dollars to BOM cost for the connector.
I don't know why they don't put it more commonly on x570 boards.
Here I found a document for that explain different implementations of USB Type C header for front panel on motherboards:

ASRock Phantom gaming is more mid-level. They seem to be using it as a differentiator between the low-end and the mid and above. The low end ones (e.g. X470 Master) have two 3.0 FPH instead.

The low end X570 (if there will even be those) are not listed yet.

Oh no, the Phantom Gaming X is the top notch now. Together with the Taichi and the Aqua, those are the three top motherboards from ASRock's offer.

I would put PG as a level below TC and there are more models than the X ... Aqua is above anything else anyone has ever had pretty much, outside a custom Threadripper or a real server - including those silly $1500 boards for the "pretend desktop Xeon platform things".

Darn going all out with their first in-house AM4 chipset, absolute amd lad

I remember commenting on a previous post that it was possible to have 3 PCI_E x16 (wired) slots on X570. This proves that to a tee. That is one serious chipset to have support for all of those peripherals. It's like TR4 Medium. How many of you would buy if a MB vendor would released a board with 6 SATA ports and 2 NVME drives and all 3 PCI-E 16 slots wired as such?

I am thinking you could use add in cards to get the speed on 3.0 with RAID 0 that you get with 4.0. Or some of the other cool peripherals that PCI_E support. With the falling price of NVME storage you may be able to get a nice 4TB array for less than $300 soon. I also expect 4.0 drives to further drive down the price of 3.0.

Thanks for linking the PDF. I am more intrested as to why no motherboard manufacturer has been able to rotate the connector 90 degrees for better cable management?

For example the X570 Aorus Xtreme has all but the internal Type-C header angled. I was searching the internet for an 90 degree adapter but the best i found were some addon cables for cases like this one from Lian Li: http://www.lian-li.com/product/pw-ic01nh45/

Delock is also offering a number of adapters for USB Type -C.
For example this one:

Thanks but my case (be quiet dark base 900 rev2) already comes with a 3.1 front panel connector. The problem is that it's straight cable as is the connector on all motherboards. I guess i can order one of the delock cables and see if i can replace the one that came with the case with a right angled one.

I see I'm still future proof here with my dual haswell system, got 80 pcie 3.0 lanes, both gpus get x16, many expansion cards, 10x sata 6gbps + 4x sata marvell card, and an quad nvme m.2 card with full bandwidth, and have yet free lanes to spare. such are the spoils of workstation boards. Next on my list is not upgrades, but rather get an identical motherboard to keep for any case... As the cpus are unlikely to die anytime soon.

I checked on my COSMOS C700P this connector is also straight but it does not disturb me.
On my ASUS Crosshair VII Hero WIFI this USB Type-C front panel port is near to the edge of the board very close to 24 pin power connector which is also striaght.

Below is a picture from inside my 2700x and Radeon VII water cooled system based on ASUS Crosshair VII Hero WIFI.

YES!!!!! OH GODLIKE.

I have a lot of drives and that's the BIGGEST problem I have with too little sata ports on most motherboards , and the fact that 2 of them "died", cause corruption if I try to use them.

This is the final point here for me that seals the deal, so I don't need add-in cards and don't need another server to do all the data management, along with all the other stuff, transcoding, development, true multitasking platform indeed.

I don't know what's going on at AMD but holy crap this is it, but this is just the first step and it's great, keep increasing that IPC, come on, let's go, pesant time is over, time for consumers to get better single core perf we have been waiting for like a almost a decade, go go go !!!

Ofcourse, it's not 100% if I get this generation or the next, but Intel would have to top it far more for me to go back to Intel. Since I do other things, the multi-core stuff is also lovely and if Intel only has like less than 10% higher single-core perf it won't be worth it for me.


@btarunr An extreme solution to a small problem it may be, but if it encourages manufacturers to include more storage ports on all motherboards across the board then it's something that will surely confirm a purchase from me, in this case this is a WELCOMED THING even if it seems overkill, such a pain when I can't use all the space I have in the case (well, I have EATX and never going back)

They wont get my money, and no one does since 2017... not every new tech needs to scratch the upgrade itch and run to the store...
