I don't see any proper high-end X570 board, even at 1100 euro.

I was thinking about finding a previous board that has a VRM good enough for 16-core:

I found 1 previous motherboard that could be acceptable at 240 euro.

Found 3600 46 in stock-no cost as yet not currently available for selling

This choice of board allegedly requires a pre installation Bios update via flash drive to offer any hope of being Ryzen3K compatible.

Novatech seem to be todays Uk retailer.
Found MSI X570 -170 Uk pound approx.
Going to allow another day or two before ordering and maybe allow other Uk retailers to follow
Amazing to see 202 pound Ryzen 3600 cpu -that's impressive,

Documentation is lacking. I cannot find any acceptable X570 motherboard.

Only two x16 slots.

Cheapest with 3 is Biostar at 200 euro.

Only two x16 slots.

Cheapest with 3 is Biostar at 210 euro.

Is two x16 slots a concern.
Are more required immediately.
I'm trying to avoid bios flash update on Non Ryzen 3l board.

They don't need to be 4.0 or wired for x16. It is rare to see slots other than x1 or x16.

Some cards come only as small as x2 for now.

Eg:

1. GPU x16
2. 10GbE x4
3. USB 3.1 x2 (for front panel)

The cheapest X570 board with 2.5GbE costs 330 euro

The cheapest X570 board with front panel USB 3.1 costs 207 euro (it has two x16).

Beware that a card might be x2 3.0 but the slot x16 2.0, so you would need an x4 2.0 card instead.

Before buying a board you need not only check the wiring of the slots but also the modes of operation when you plug other things.

The cheapest AM4 board with ax costs 230 euro.

You can get an x1 1.0 card for 34 euro.

A quick look at comparable board prices shows:

X370->X470: +25%
X470->X570: +50%

X370->X570: +90%

 

[cube]

The cheapest AM4 board with a flashback button costs 77 euro (B450).

It already has a beta BIOS.

Does the board I mentioned have WiFi
Network Interface Type Wired Gigabit LAN (10/100/1000)
Network Chip/Modules 1 x Realtek RTL8111H (Gigabit LAN)

And there Are two m.2 -which could I use for pci e m.2 ssd -

• 1 x M.2, 22-42/60/80, PCIe Gen3x4
• 1 x M.2, 22-42/60/80/110, PCIe Gen4x4

No, there is one board cheaper than the one I mentioned that has ac but not ax (200 euro).

The cheapest n card costs 6 euro (x1 1.0).

There are 2 slots for NVMe, but only one that can use 4.0 and the other also takes SATA.

The cheapest AM4 boards with three x16 cost 85 euro. One of them is also the cheapest one with front panel USB 3.1 . They are X370 boards so you would likely need a first gen processor. They are supposed to be getting third gen updates.

The cheapest AM4 board with more than gigabit ethernet costs 170 euro. It is also an X370 board with three x16. There's already a third gen update but it does not have flashback either.
