That doesn't rhyme though...

Sarcasm?

I think bad RAM overclock is kinda, well bad for AMD. Given how it scales.

Not sarcasm, just the obvious. Their previous X470GT8 was really bad at memory OC even by Zen standards. E.g. peaking at 2933MHz at any timings on any kit (though BIOSTAR promised a moderate 3200MHz effective clock). Judging by the new specs and layout - it's the same base/platform. 4000MHz might be a bit optimistic, but we'll see.

In that 1st photo on the left, it looks like there is a VGA connector and possibly 2 USB connectors sticking up from the right edge of the cooling fan.....or is that just my imagination ??

Yep, that's a B450 board with VGA

No motherboard maker would tout those numbers without passing memtest.

You'll be surprised (especially on the low/mid-end). They can throw any numbers around as long as they have at least one specific kit that boots at that speed.
The rest is always "circumstantial".

A fan on the motherboard chipset? No thank you, that will rattle like crazy in a couple of years and be not replaceable because of the custom implementation.

Even after leaking full hi-res pics of a motherboard, what has really been leaked, nothing. It's gonna have all the usual stuff. Can't see squat because of heatsinks, even if there was something interesting there.

more important if they placing it for no reason, or new PCH really need it and we all get dead mobos from other brands who decide to put cheap passive solution in 2-3 years like it was with nForce

RIP DDR4-5000 rumors. It wasn't even a week old rumor yet LOL.

The pictured board might be a prototype board, so I wouldn't read too much into the tiny details, production boards might have slight deviations. Even some of the boards we expect to see at Computex might still be prototype boards.

I always recommend waiting a little while for good motherboard reviews on new platforms, and of course see if there are any major BIOS issues to be resolved. I wouldn't pick a random motherboard on launch day, or the first week for that matter.

Huh? This has what to do with Biostar's OC setting for 4000?

He was able to get DDR4 4000 on Ryzen 2700X, Now Biostar claims up to DDR4 4K on X570 , on other hand they mean it will pass memtest.They wrote up to 3200Mhz for X470 and 4000 for X570.that's BIG Different , they know what's going on with memory controller on Ryzen CPU.

My Asrock X79 says hi.

It's there for a reason, but you won't get dead boards without it. X570 gets a lot hotter, especially for those planning on doing M.2 PCIe 4.0 RAID. There are ways around this, but it would be more expensive than using a fan. As such, expect fans on the lower cost boards.

That was just a max setting.

As long there are cheap replacements for the fans or atleast ball bearing instead sleeve bearing shouldn't be a problem.
And looking at the size of it i fail to see why they couldn't add 4 screw holes for a 40 or 60mm fan to replace it if it ever dies.

If it's ain't gonna be OCed well- why bother with 8+4 pin CPU Power? since with 7nm AMD can offer twice the 2700X performance at same Power, looks like they can be OCed by 25% (vs current 12nm) so they can run the 16C with twice the TDP of 2700X(12.5% clock bump to current 2700X clocks + another 12.5% OC headroom).
Either way this 16C could be a beast!.
For Example: 8C16T 2700X replacment will be 4.0Ghz Base, 4.8Ghz Boost, 5.35Ghz OC limit on AVG.
