Z590 series releasing January 11th

Yeah It runs hot though I get up to 69 degrees running Cyberpunk 2077.
 
So it will support 20 pcie 4.0 Lanes on the CPU. Does that mean it will only have one slot to run a PCI 4.0 SSD? Am I missing something or is there not chipset 4.0 Lanes for running an SSD?

Yes, it has made my 9900K run hotter than any other game. As high as 64 degrees which it hasn't come near to in any other game I play.

The CPU is a binned CPU thus the power can spike high and in some cases was shown to be about 2W per core higher than the 10900 series due to those being much stricter on what passes their qualifications. One site had the 10850k hitting 102c under full load on an open bench.
 
I'll probably skip these and wait until the next gen socket 1700.

Will these boards have a 1 CPU life span? If you get a 500 series board, and pair it with an 11th gen, is there any future? My assumption, which could be way off, is that the next gen 10nm chip would be a different socket.

12th gen will be a different socket.
 
Then it would seem to make no sense to pay top dollar for a 500/11th Gen pairing that has no future upgrade path. Am I missing something?
Only if you plan on sticking with it for a while without upgrading. I used to upgrade every 3-5, so it didn’t matter- the board was too old anyway.
 
In stock at Newegg want that PCI express 4.0 but I'll stick to my z490 and see what Rocket Lake adds in the following months.
 
Just saw the prices of the ASUS boards (didn't see the other brands), but what the hell in the world is going on? The prices are probably $100 more than they were just two generations back..........my HERO Z390 was $309 and now the Z590 is $499? No thank you!!!
Although it seems to me like they added come crap I wouldn't use if I were to buy. Don't know what Thunderbolt is and most certainly wouldn't use it because I wouldn't need it.
Gast went up 21 cents recently and 41,00 people lost their jobs with the cancellation of the pipeline but dang!!! This is ridiculous.
Probably tariffs and stuff raising the prices. It was probably a $400 board before them.
 
Nasgul Asus also announced their products were all getting a price jack due to the shortages of parts, costs of shipping going through the roof due to covid and such.

Whoever buys this stuff is going to get taken to the cleaners. I'm sure the scalpers will be in the waiting if the supply is super low on release.

This.
Combination of Tariffs (computer parts were excepted, are not any longer), shipping costs (not much air travel, a lot of this flies as freight on passenger flights, so now they're competing for limited space and limited cargo travel), crazy demand, and higher input prices (covid, inflation, overall stuff happening).
 
God help me but I cant stop thinking about that Glacial board.

I could go $1k on something like that but $1800 is mental.

Next board will be monoblock though, I'm in too deep to stop...

Yes. 16 for the PCIE slot 1, 4x for the m.2, and then an 8x 3.0 link to the chipset rather than a 4x 4.0 link.
 
I ordered a Strix Z590-i ITX board. From the bad place that I think is not to be named. Couldn't find it anywhere else.
 
^ any particular reason why you couldn't install the sound card in a x16 slot?
 
Well Alexis, it seems to me like all the PCIEx16 are connected and dedicated for video cards, so my "thought" was that if I'd connect any other device on a PCIEx16 then the video card would run @ 8X, so that's why I've never liked to mess with any of the PCIEx16 slots.
And I've never bothered to find out if that could be the case or not, but I rather put a x1 card in a x1 slow.
Doesn’t matter to the video card that much. 1-2%. It works fine, put it in the third slot and you’ll go through the PCH instead of dropping the video card.
 
FYI: I just booted up an Asrock H570 motherboard tonight and it has Re-sizeable BAR in the factory bios. Which is the only bios this board has ever had, because it only released a couple of weeks ago.

Still gotta wait on Nvidia and EVGA to release drivers and VGA bios to activate Re-sizeable BAR on my RTX 2060...

The first slot will turn from 16x to 8x regardless of what is put in the other x16 slot. There's no reason you can't put something in there you're just wasting it. Outside of another GPU the only things that can actually really use the 8x that would be dedicated to them are hardware RAID cards (SAS/SATA type deals), m.2 RAID cards, or even PCI-E SSDs that come with a native x8 connection and require an x16 slot. All of those are edge cases though and really for HEDT platforms.

Asrock put up a new bios to coincide with the release of Rocket Lake. It simply says "Optimized Bios Settings". And.....Resizeable BAR (Clever Access Memory) is missing!
I have a 10700 non-K installed and did not notice any difference to CPU performance or anything like that.

They put up a beta Bios on April first and it says "Optimized CPU Performance".
Resizeable BAR is still missing. The only change I noticed in the BIOS options, is a new setting under the CPU menu of the Overclocking section. There is now a setting to state whether or not your power supply is under 400w or over 400w. No details about what this does.
I did notice a change to the boosting behavior of my CPU. The 10700 non-k is supposed to be able to boost to 4.8 on two cores and 4.7 on 4 cores. But I had never seen higher than 4.6 (which it will do all core, all day long, with the turbo settings maxed).
With the new beta bios, I am seeing 4.8 in short burst when doing things such as loading programs/apps. Apparently some motherboards can force the 4.8 onto all core. But mine so far is not capable of that.
 
Something I just noticed about MSI's B560 Mortar MATX, MPG B560I GAMING EDGE WIFI ITX, and MEG Z590I UNIFY ITX:

As boards which offer 2 NVME slots-----both slots can be used by 10th gen CPUs. The vast majority of 500 series motherboards only connect the first slot to the CPU. Which means only an 11th Gen CPU can use slot 1. But MSI has connected slot 1 to both the CPU and the B560 chipset. So a 10th gen CPU can utilize both slots for storage.

I think they are the only brand to have done this with any of their 500 series boards with 2 storage slots.
