“but it’s much needed for this platform; because there are a lot of speedy things inside and we need to make sure you can use them. So that’s why we need proper cooling.”

Eric van Beurden claimed on stream,After this stream was live, MSI quickly deleted any online VODs of the livestream, likely due to their early, pre-Computex reveal of X570. Thankfully, Tech and Tiny on YouTube managed to download the stream and re-upload it on YouTube While motherboard chipset fans are uncommon, it is known that AMD's X570 chipset is AMD's first internal chipset design for their AM4 platform, and the first chipset to offer integrated PCIe 4.0 support. It has been speculated that the TDP of this chipset has moved from 5W on X470 to 15W for X570, creating the need for active cooling solutions.Thankfully, 15W isn't a lot of thermal energy to dissipate, which means that MSI can utilise a semi-passive heatsink solution for their X570 motherboards. MSI also plans to utilise their GPU fan technology to offer 0dB fan modes and off minimal levels of fan noise thanks to their use of Twin Frozr style fans. MSI reckons that most users will not notice their small fan, as most gaming PCs already include several fans, including those on their CPU coolers and GPU heatsink solutions.“You will have probably a big CPU cooler,” says MSI's Peter Arts, ”you will have a graphics card in there, your case will have fans. So one small fan… you probably won’t hear it.”The question this leaves is whether or not these semi-passive cooling solutions are anything to worry about for most consumers, as most PC users will never utilise 100% of their motherboard's chipset resources. It is possible that only edge case scenarios will produce enough heat to force the system's chipset fans on, such as M.2 RAID scenarios and full utilisation of all of a motherboard's SATA ports. This is something that will be investigated when X570 launches.
