offering a thought outside the box
if able to not actually use the secondary nvme slots and carefull choice of which sata ports to use
the chipset fan should be able to not ever need being ran/used

eg gpu in direct pcie/cpu slot
nvme in primary direct cpu slot
and any sata drives on the direct cpu ports
means the chipset wont have anything to do and wont make any heat to kick the fan in

of course this depends on you not buying the x570 because you want to use all the extra pcie lanes]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2021 00:42:47 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18173&PID=84118&title=chipset-fan-asrock-x570-taichi#84118 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18173&PID=84117&title=chipset-fan-asrock-x570-taichi#84117 Author: frankj

I recently ordered an Asrock x570 Taichi motherboard. I've read about the chipset fans having noise and "grinding" issues.

I'd like to get ahead of the curve and order a replacement fan from Amazon or another source now to prepare for what may be in store.

I'd like to know if I can order a different fan than the Everflow and, if so, which specifications to look for to make sure it matches my needs and specifications.]]> Sat, 20 Feb 2021 00:21:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18173&PID=84117&title=chipset-fan-asrock-x570-taichi#84117
