Question 1

Can I run the OS from the M.2?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I installed Windows 10 on an M.2 SSD.  There was no difference in the installation process. Just choose the drive you want to install Windows on during the installation process.

Question 2

I see the documents state that 2nd Gen Ryzen with Vega graphics is supported, but what about 3rd gen like the Ryzen 5 3400G?

Accepted Answer

Hello D,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

Yes the integrated graphics card from the Ryzen 5 3400G would work with this X570 motherboard. Fun fact is Ryzen 1000 series does not have a G series for integrated graphics. So technically the Ryzen 2000G series would be "1st gen" and Ryzen 3000G series is "2nd gen" CPU that supports Radeon Vega graphics. Hope this clarify somethings.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Question 3

The case I am looking to buy already comes with 3 fans, i want to add 1 120mm fan and 2 140mm fan, is this possible with this MOBO? The case I plan on buying is the Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow.

Accepted Answer

The motherboard has headers for 1x CPU fan, 3x chassis fans, and 1x AIO pump, so it depends on what kind of CPU cooler you're using, as the AIO pump header can be used for a fan if you're not using an AIO cooler.  You may want to pick up a couple of splitter adapters.

Question 4

how do you change the lighting on the motherboard?

Accepted Answer

I know this is late but to anyone reading its not addressable RGB. After building all white I tried to change it and couldn't, all the digging I did seems you can only turn it on and off via bios.

Question 5

Will the M.2_1 location below the GPU slot cause clearance issues with large SSD heatsinks? And if it does fit, is that an airflow/thermal concern?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

The height clearance from the pins of a GPU to where the shroud normally starts is about a little less than an inch, so the SSD might be a little too close for comfort (especially with a heatsink attached).

As far as airflow and thermals go, I think as long as you have good intake airflow from the front of your case, it should be enough to passively cool the SSD.  With that being said, you might also get some passive heat from the GPU because of how close it is to the M.2 slot, but I think monitoring the temps yourself will give you a better idea of how well it performs as well as how hot it can get under load (everyone's test conditions will vary so it is hard to give a hard number).

Hope this helps!

Question 6

will this run second gen ryzen processors?

Accepted Answer

Don't buy this for anything less than a 3000 series six core. 1000 and 2000 series don't support PCIe 4.0. This board is intended for processors that do. Future graphics cards will need the bandwidth to keep up with higher frame rates and resolutions. Its a great motherboard with a 3000 series processor and 5600 or 5700 video card.

Question 7

does this come with any m.2 screws?

Accepted Answer

It's been a year, but iirc it came with 1 or 2. I am sure I never had to purchase any.

Question 8

What is the difference between this and a 470?

Accepted Answer

The X570 chipset supports PCI Express 4.0 where as the X470 only supports PCi Ex 3.0. It can run the latest generation PCIEx 4.0 NVMe SSD's which are faster. It can also support higher performance PCIEx 4.0 graphics cards. The X470 does not have this support. The X570 is also capable of supporting faster memory than the X470. These are the main differences between the two. Either one will run the Ryzen 3000 series processors. Some X470 boards may require a bios update, though.

Question 9

I am going to use the processor below. What power supply should i get to power the board? I have a 750watt power supply right now and not sure if i need a bigger one. 
AMD RYZEN 9 3900X 12-Core 3.8 GHz

Accepted Answer

If you're using a single GPU, that should be plenty. If you have a high quality PSU, then you could probably get by with less. I'm using a nearly 10 year old EarthWatts 750W, which is 80 PLUS Certified. A second GPU will have the lion's share of impact on your PSU.
