First rule i would recommend is to never take shop listings as face value, and take time to look at product page and/or manual. In your example, you would go to https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-X570-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-WIFI, go to Specification and then Detail.
And then you would see this in...
Well, your best bet would be https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/Pro-WS-X570-ACE/ which has three PCI-E 4.0 x8 slots (bottom being connected to X570 chipset, which has a PCI-E 4.0 x4 uplink to CPU). But pricing in US/CA is insane for this board for some reason...
GPU power usage is peaking around 300W for a decade by now, also going to smaller node size usually means decreased voltage. There are also physical limits to how big GPUs can be, so the coolers you see now is probably the peak size you will see until GPUs change their form factor completely.
Power usage increased. Radeon 9700 was 37W TDP. 8800GT was 125W TDP. Current cards are usually between 150 and 300W TDP.
Also people prefer quieter cards.
Both of those factors require bigger coolers, which can be cooled quieter and/or can keep a GPU with higher TDP at reasonable temperatures.
Depending on memory chip and module design, it might still be needed. It is all about the strain the specific modules put on the memory controller. Trying to bump the SOC voltage for a while won't hurt anything anywya.
It might be just not enough SOC Voltage for the memory controller; for my 4x16GB DDR4-3200 config i had to increase the voltage to 1.15V to consistently make it boot, otherwise it would stop posting sometimes.
For Ryzen 3600, literally any AM4 board will do (well, i wouldn't buy A320, but other than that).
And then it comes down to required feature set.
X series boards will have x8/x8 bifurcation of the x16 CPU PCI-E lanes, B450 doesn't have that. But if you run single GPU, it is irrelevant.
X570 has...
National governments, EU parliament and EU commission have different responsibilities. If anything, "trafficking" is an issue for each national government, each national police and Europol - EU is not United States of Europe, it is not job of EU to solve criminal issues.

Do you require mATX ? For mITX, there is Silverstone DS380:

For mATX, there is CS381, but it is rather big:

For Full ATX, there is CS380...
You might laugh, but you are not that far off. For higher current charging to work, various manufacturers required various voltage levels on data pins https://obddiag.net/usb-power.html . So while any charger will do the 5V/0.5A charging, anything above it was manufacturer/feature specific.
And...
Well, if anything, SKU should have rang the bell. EVGA SKU for that card is 06G-P4-1267-KR ( https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=06G-P4-1267-KR ). And that SKU scheme is old as hell at EVGA, for example their old GTX260's had 896-P3-1270-AR - so as you can see, their SKU is always...
While that is true on technical level, usually the jump between bits per cell is accompanied by capacity increase.
Old SLC drives (X25-E) had only sub-64GB capacity. MLC bellow 64GB was rare and not optimal from speed perspective. I don't think i ever seen TLC bellow 120GB. QLC SSDs start from...
On ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE i use two kits of http://www.gskill.com/product/165/184/1536110922/F4-3200C16D-32GVKRipjaws-VDDR4-3200MHz-CL16-18-18-38-1.35V32GB-(2x16GB) for total of 64GB of RAM, running at the XMP profile (3200CL16) with 3900X. The only thing i had to do is to increase SOC voltage a...
Actually 3800X makes no sense, 3700X more so. That is what i settled on too - i would have liked to get a second 3900X for my desktop too (first one i managed to grab via my contacts got to my server), but in the end i gave up, and for the price of R7 1700 refund due GCC bug (thanks EU consumer...
I got one here in EU, but i had connections - i got it through a friends shop, who got a total of 4 pieces of 3900X since the launch and he reserved one just for me. In comparison, the biggest eshop in my country often shows stats about how many items they sold in last week. They sold a total of...
One thing to keep in mind, that he bases his recommendations on Newegg price. Which at least for one board completely changes the value in EU - the ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE is $379 on Newegg, but only 310-330 euros in Europe (including 20% VAT). And that is a huge difference - 310 euros minus 20%...
You need to remember these documents are written by lawyers, not engineers. Lawyers can't be bothered to enumerate exact use cases, because that would require the inclusion of engineers.
The reason for this clause is literally so MS can make copies of the files in question for the actual service to work as intended. The OP ignored the important part of the same section :

Laws like this ? You mean US shouldn't have a law which defines what permissions companies have to ask to process your data, to have right to ask for removal of your data, have legal requirement to report all data breaches within 72 hours ?
It is all about what you use your PC for. Sure, if the only PCI-E device you have is your GPU, you have one PCI-E 3.0 NVMe (or SATA drive) drive, then sure, you notice no difference between an X570 and B450.
With two x8 devices, you can rule out B450, because the second slot is only x4.
With...
300-350 euro boards i can understand. Sometimes it is not an option to get a cheaper board (most HEDT usually starts around 200-250 euros in the first place for most barebones boards). Sometimes you want some extra feature compared to a 200 euro board - for example most sub-200 euro X570 boards...
You might argue that about the US launch. Elsewhere anything including and above 3700X was a paper launch. If a whole continent gets ZERO processors, it is a paper launch for that continent.
I still consider https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Pro-WS-X570-ACE/ to be the best non-crazy, not-overengineered X570 board. Sure, it has only four SATA ports, only two M.2 drives, no USB 3.1 header on board (only the old style 3.0 header) - but the PCI-E lane layout, that is something awesome...
While that might be true, i had no issues getting two sets of http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c16d-32gvk (2x16GB Hynix M-Die) for total of 64GB on this board working at DDR4-3200CL16. Only thing i needed to do was to increase SOC Voltage to 1.05V.
And then on other side the cheaper boards (funny how one can consider a 230 euro MSI board cheap) will run in x16/x4 setup instead of x8/x8, which will make X470 actually superior for PCI-E 3.0 cards, where with X570 a combo of x16 3.0 GPU and x8 3.0 HBA would result in HBA running only in x4...
AMD or Intel has nothing to do with POST times. It all comes down to what you have on the board. My Z68M-ITX/HT board which has pretty much no extra chips etc on it POSTS in like 2 seconds; hell, they even had a BIOS option for actual extra delay so you have time to hit the key to enter BIOS ...
https://www.amazon.de/MSI-MEG-X570-Godlike-DDR4/dp/B07ST23K9B/ 723 euros including 20% tax. Dear motherboard manufacturers, you are completely out of touch. Even the cheap MSI board which is not even capable of x8/x8 mode is over 230 euros. Suddenly even the X399 boards, including MEG Creation...
I don't think it is fair to call it Overwatch 2. It will either be an alternative game set in same universe, or even a "coop DLC" for Overwatch. Just as you wouldn't call HL:Opposing Force or Blue Shift as HL2 and HL3.
