I think Im down to The crosshair VIII formula and the X570 aorus Extreme. I will be full custom loop water cooling. I was hoping one of the boards would offer chipset cooling with a waterblock, but it appears that may have just been hopes and dreams. I am not happy about the fans on the chipsets this generation. I wanted something like the waterforce z390 board but it appears they had enough issues with that it may never exist either.

At this point I am leaning toward the ASUS, but the asus only has 5G ethernet not 10G like the gigabyte and the gigabyte appears to have a better VRM setup at first glance and dual 8 pin cpu power inputs vs the 8+4 setup on the ASUS.
I noticed a leak for the X499 AORUS XTREME WATER FORCE.... which gets me super excited too... maybe I should wait for Threadripper 3??? Oh man... tough decisions.
Whats everyones thoughts on the X570s dilemma?
