Look for a X570 motherboard which has a ball bearing fan and software control which turns off the the fan under low load. I avoid any motherboard suppliers which give a poor warranty e.g. MSI who only offer a 1 year warranty.
I've done a recent review of X570 boards for a new PC build in a few months time. My selection criteria are:
- Quiet chipset fan
- 3 year warranty
- Front panel USB header
- Dual BIOS preferred
- On board LED diagnostic preferred
- WiFi
- Good sound e.g. ALC1220
- Good power control
- Intel Ethernet preferred
- Price under £250
- Low poor ratings on Amazon (1* + 2*)
My current shortlist based on the above is:
- GigaByte X570 Aorus Ultra
- Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus (WI-FI)
