    Hello there.

    I like spending money. o_O:(

    So, I have a;
    6800XT,
    5800X3D,
    16GB Crucial 3600 CL16 DDR4
    WD 500GB NVMe thingy.

    Pure gaming here; would any one think it's worth going to X570? Or stay on the B550? Looking for a few thoughts!

    Cheers.

    You get more PCi-e lanes.
    But gaming performance is identical.

    Most X570 boards have that stupid chipset fan. Unless you buy an S version which is expensive.

    I believe B550 boards don't have or need that tiny fan on the south bridge or north which ever it is.

    That's why i got the Gigabyte Master X570S. Back in the day i had one of those pesky little fans die on me which killed the whole board but that was when a decent mobo was £60. :(

    You cant hear the fan on x570 actually its not even on unless it chipset gets to certain temperature.

    Get a x570 if you need more pcie lanes and more than one gen4 nvme drives.

    No advantage in gaming, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

    X570-A PRO great, complete and cheap, about the chipset fan you can't even hear it and it has Zero Frozr technology, it's worth it
