I don't know, I'd think I'd be more inclined to by one for a lower end x570 if I hadn't already dropped big money for the board in the first place.The thing is, it's typically going to be the higher end motherboards and the people that buy them which get water blocks. The lower end boards may need them more, but no one who buys an X570 motherboard for $160 is likely looking to add water blocks to an existing custom loop.
The MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE, X570 Aorus Master, ASRock X570 Creator and a few midrange offerings would be what I'd look to build waterblocks for.

I think there is a feeling that unless you go high end on everything, it's not worth sharing online. Even here you see a lot of people spouting the need for high end custom loops when it's just not needed. Yet when you look through the "share your..." threads, you'll see see a lot of mid-range and lower tier builds taking place, fully functional, but not an E-Peen showcase.It makes more sense to do it that way. But that's not my point. The bulk of builds I see with custom liquid cooling are all typically higher end and feature higher end motherboards.

Actually that brings another point, why is it you can't get solid VRM and Bios options unless you buy a board with tons of extra crap you arguably aren't going to use? I know the price point would be higher than the stripper model, but you'd think there would be a market for a solid but basic board.While that may be part of the issue, I don't think that's really what's going on. I think that the people who are looking for the slight advantage custom water cooling offers, or the aesthetics of it, are the most likely people to buy higher end motherboardseven if that motherboard has features on it that probably won't get used. The reason comes down to higher end motherboards usually have better quality VRM's and better UEFI BIOS implementations when it comes to overclocking and performance tuning. The guy who's going to build a custom loop like mine isn't likely to have opted for an MSI X570 A Pro motherboard instead of something more substantial.
