MSI X570S TOMAHAWK MAX & X570S TORPEDO MAX Pictured

Starting off with the MSI X570S Tomahawk Max, we are looking at a slightly refreshed design scheme with the major change being the passive cooled X570 PCH. The motherboard still carries the same number of I/O and heatsinks but one thing that might have seen another slight update is the CPU power delivery. We don’t have exact information at the moment but it does look like it has been modified just a slight bit to provide better-overclocking support on AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Desktop line of processors.

ASRock Launches PG Riptide Series Motherboards – AMD X570S & B550

TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 31 2021 – Leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is proud to announce its latest X570S & B550 PG Riptide motherboards for AMD Ryzen AM4 desktop processors. “Riptide is named after a specific kind of water current with strong wave that occurs in the ocean. Riptide is unapparent, yet strong, fast and carries a powerful punch; this is the design philosophy of ASRock PG Riptide series motherboards” Said Chris Lee, General Manager of ASRock motherboard & gaming peripherals business unit.

The Riptide is a new crew of Phantom Gaming series, these stylishly PG Riptide series motherboards are armed to the teeth with gear designed to fulfill gamers everyday needs, without biting into the bank account unlike other similarly spec’d, high-end motherboards.

ncompromised Quality and Stability

AMD X570-based motherboards commonly require active chipset cooling, however with an AMD microcode update and BIOS fine tuning by ASRock engineers, the ASRock X570S PG Riptide now offers a revolutionary fanless design to ensure quieter operation and better reliability. Designed for uncompromising performance, PC enthusiasts will be drawn to the 10 phase VRM design using Dr.MOS IC’s and 60A Power Choke on both X570S and B550 PG Riptide motherboards. This premium VRM design delivers smooth and plentiful power to even the most demanding 16-core AMD Ryzen CPUs for everyday gaming at the limit.

ASRock Lightning Gaming Ports

In addition to offering two M.2 NVMe SSD slots, M.2 Armor, and one M.2 slot dedicated for Wi-Fi card, there’s also plenty of internal and external USB ports for peripherals. ASRock Lightning Gaming Ports uniquely feature custom engineered USB signal lanes to accommodate the latest gaming mice with ultra-high polling rates. Traditional USB signal design cannot fully support ultra-high report rate gaming peripherals, therefore limiting their performance and the user experience.

Killer E3100 2.5Gbps Networking

Both X570S & B550 PG Riptide motherboards come with Killer E3100 2.5Gbps Ethernet connectivity, which supports the Killer Prioritization Engine enabling the most reliable networking. The Killer Prioritization Engine can identify thousands of games, applications, and websites to prioritize games and the most demanding connectivity needs in real-time, offering uninterrupted online experiences with better throughput and lowest latency.

MSI X570S Motherboard Lineup Leaks

Courtesy of Wccftech, we have some new information today on MSI’s upcoming AMD X570S chipset based motherboards. Per their information, we’re looking at 8 (or more) products in the making:

  • MEG X570S ACE MAX
  • MEG X570S UNIFY-X MAX
  • MPG X570S GAMING CARBON MAX WIFI
  • MPG X570S GAMING EDGE MAX WIFI
  • MAG X570S TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI
  • MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX
  • X570S PRO-MAX WIFI
  • X570S-A PRO MAX

The best part of these new boards is they all appear to be passively cooled. While I don’t mind low speed, temperature limited PCH fans, those of you that do may be very interested in these X570S boards when they roll out. Perhaps they’ll join the fray with a Ryzen 5000XT style CPU release later this year? Time will tell.

GIGABYTE AMD X570S Board Shows Up in CPU-Z

Courtesy of Tum_Apisak, we have the first CPU-Z Validator report of a GIGBAYTE motherboard based off of the AMD X570S. In this case, we’re looking at the pairing of a GIGABYTE X570S AORUS PRO AX with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G. Details on this yet-to-be-announced X570S chipset are still extremely sparse, but some hope the “S” is for silent. In other words, an X570 on a better process with lower power output and reduced thermals. Check back for more reports as they roll in on AMD’s X570S.

GIGABYTE’s AMD “X570S” Chipset Motherboards Hit EEC

Courtesy of @KOMACHI_ENSAKA, we have new information today on what appears to be an upcoming chipset from AMD, the X570S. Numerous boards based off of the purported new chipset have hit the EEC. These are the first motherboards based off of “X570S” to do so. What boards are currently listed? Well, we have:

X570S AORUS MASTER
X570S AORUS ELITE AX
X570S AORUS PRO AX
X570S AERO G
X570SI AORUS PRO AX
X570S AORUS ELITE
X570S GAMING X
X570S UD

Now, it’s quite possible this new chipset will support the rumored Zen 3+ processors, perhaps debuting this fall prior to a Zen 4 launch in 2022. These may be an XT style release, though what improvements we have in this new “X570S” chipset…? . Perhaps no more than a little added polish and a matching price boost. We’ll wait for more details.
