X570 Power Delivery Specification & Comparison

One of the most talked about aspects of any high-end motherboard lately is the quality of its power delivery system. At a high level, all X570 motherboards have to adhere to a couple of factors, the most important of which is support for the upcoming Ryzen 3950X 16c/32t processor. This means manufacturers needed to work even harder in creating suitable and efficient power delivery systems to ensure full compatibility with the Ryzen 3000 series.

Meanwhile, we're also keeping a look out for any cases where manufacturers may be embellishing their power delivery claims, advertising a board as being more capable than it really is. After some bad history and what has happened in the last two years there, we hope to (and expect) to see less of that with the X570 chipset.

As power delivery is usually one of the most requested items for any of our motherboard content, prior to the launch we reached out to all the motherboard vendors to find out what power delivery systems each of their new X570 boards are equipped with. Below is a table of the official information we have compiled from each of the vendors, with a question mark (?) denotes when we don't have information available.

Please note that this information is self-reported, so until we can review any given X570 board, we're operating on the honor system, trusting vendors to supply honest and upfront information. And we will be checking, and we will be keeping this page up-to-date as more information becomes available.

As we get more information from vendors or reputable sources, we will update the table. As we get more and more X570 boards in for review, we can go deeper into the analysis in each individual review over the upcoming months.

    And with doublers that means the load gets distributed among more DrMOS and increases the power delivery capabilities of the board. Depending on the doublers it can be very intelligent or just a brute force approach. Still better to have a (4x2) Vcore than a (4) Vcore, everything else being the same.

    It's all tongue in cheek for me. I've been pulling all-nighters for the last 2 weeks getting everything together. I've updated now, but MSI did say in an email 4+1 because I asked them to clarify. You are right though!

    ITX pricing? I was planning to go AMD this round, but Idk about $220+ mobo for a $200 CPU. Might have to go back to intel depending on sales.

    Then get a B450 board.

    Will it work if I build a new comp with a Ryzen 3000? I do not have any spare CPUs. I think I’ll have to ask some mobo companies. Some may allow you to update BIOS without requiring a (older) compatible CPU by using a flash drive.

    Can you add a table of which ones don't/do have RGB lighting?
  • boozed - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link

    Hahaha
  • PeachNCream - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link

    Bwahahahaha!
  • The_Assimilator - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link

    Asus "WS" boards are the sole ones lacking it nowadays. :( I hate paying the "RGB tax" too but thankfully all boards allow it to be hard-disabled in the BIOS (this generation at least...).

    Did you see ASRock?
