 Posted: Fri, 6th Feb 2026 23:11 Post subject: X570 to X870 upgrade doubts |
|
 |
Or slightly below X870
I own the following. Also Europe/Spain user
-Tower: Be quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901 (Important fact later) with 5 fans (1 rear exhaust, 2 top exhaust, 2 front intake)
-ASUS X570 TUF GAMING PLUS
-RYZEN 5800X3D
-Brand new Noctua NH-U12A Chromax Black
-Crucial BALLISTIX 2x16GB DDR4 RAM (Good profile size and heatsink)
-GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Super
-CORSAIR 1200W PSU SHIFT (It was cheap and has the special GPU cables)
My mobo has gotten some deep buzzing/crrrrrk electrical noises from the CPU area (front and behind. It's NOT the GPU since it's doing NOTHING) and it's worrying me but also it's hurting my ears (Tinnitus victim, don't want it to become even worse), besides of the motherboard had a small accident and well, might be the reason among other things, and i don't want it to burn down the components etc (And it's getting a bit old)
So i was thinking of upgrading just the mobo, CPU and RAM (Yes, even with the crisis) and i need guidance to what'd be the best SAFE picks while following these rules:
Main uses: (1080p monitor actually but might go 2K or even 4K one day, but 2K mainly for quality/performance balance)
-Productivity: Adobe Photoshop/illustrator/Premiere, CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Paint Tool SAI 2, Handbrake
-Gaming: Hardcore requirement games on Ultra (Single player stories, NO MOBA nor online ones) and also video capture 1080p (Could be doing 2K/4K soon so yeah, important). So +60FPS always
-AM5 X870 full ATX size or better
-2x16GB DDR5 RAM WITH HEATSINK (Nothing crazy big, NO RGB). Crucial brand if possible. Don't trust CORSAIR much (BSOD reports)
-RYZEN 7000 or 9000 series with 8 or more cores for the CPU (Keep in mind the GPU to prevent bottleneck and the above cooler i'll be using. Not going to upgrade the cooler!. Sure i'll need the important brackets to install it but you know..)
-At least 4 SATA ports and a maximum of 6 if possible (2 SSD, 1 HDD and 1 DVD drive)
-The motherboard must have TWO "USB A" 3.2 headers to connect the 2 tower's USB 3.2 cables to be able to use ALL 4 USB front ports from my tower, along a USB C 3.2 GEN 2 header for the tower's USB C port
-The back of the motherboard must have 2 high powered USB C ports (1 for the speakers to make use of their full power, the other for future use) and tons of USB A ports, latest gens etc if possible, along a properly working (Drivers sense) LAN 2,4 and 5Ghz (Not sure if 5Ghz only is backwards compatible but again i want to prevent many possible issues since, well, internet's used all the time)
-WiFi 6 or 7 (For the printer and other devices. I know 7 is only for W11 but if it's backwards compatible with W10 in WiFi 6 mode somehow then so be it.. Also future proof)
-Windows 10 compatible if possible (I don't want to install W11, and if i must uninstall my actual sytem's board's drivers first then install the new ones so be it, but i don't want to do a full install. NOPE!!!)
-NO COIL WHINE NOR BUZZING FROM THE CPU NOR VRM NOR ANYTHING. THAT IS MANDATORY!!
-NO DOCP/EXPO will be used. I had a Z170 that whenever i enabled EXPO a few days later it killed the motherboard SO NO, NO DOCP/EXPO!.I DON'T CARE IF THE PC DOESN'T GOES FULL POTENTIAL AS LONG AS IT MEANS IT'S GOING SAFE!!. PERIOD!!. Mine has been going good with that turned off and it's doing great (minus the actual CPU part)
-BE ABLE TO DISABLE "Install Armoury Crate on boot up" OPTION IN BIOS
-Optional: Easy to reach GPU ejector (CPU cooler might be small but future AM5 offset might kill the purpose), same for easy installation for M.2/NVME SSDs and compatible with actual SSDs of all kinds
-I'm new to this but RAM training must happen ONCE. If i can just let it train once then disable it to prevent future trainings after a boot THE BETTER. TIME IS CRUCIAL
-MOST IMPORTANTLY: Need a SAFE MB+CPU+RAM COMBO that DOESN'T HAVE ANY FIRE/RANDOMLY DYING ISSUES THAT I'VE BEEN READING AROUND (AKA RYZEN 9000 + ASrock or whatever bad combo)
-Trustworthy brands: ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, etc, as long as they accomplish the USB/SATA ports parts above along the combo thing just above
While money's not an issue, i want to know what options for MB, CPU and RAM would you guys recommend
That's all for now. Thank you

I’m not going to do your homework for you, but just had to say: there is no way to ensure no coil whine. It’s dependent on so many variables, that you can read over 9000 reviews online of the exact same components together, and it whine for you still. Just be prepared for that option. Sounds like what you have currently is coil whine, and perhaps a different case or even different positioning of the existing case can solve this by masking the sound.

This never happened on my tower for nearly 3 years...

I did that but kinda just because I felt like it.
x570 aorus elite
5700x3d
4x8 3200mhz
to
x870 aorus elite wifi7
9800x3d
2x16 6000mhz cl30
Annnnnd... the cpu itself is almost x2 faster. But only games affected by this are like... Dragons dogma 2 and shader compilation times lol.
I don't regret getting ti but for gmaing, the gains are limited.
And yes, I am using expo because there is no danger in using it.
Space marine 2 runs much faster. dragons dogma 2 a bit faster. Some other games have small gains (very small).
TBH I just wanted a new build alongside 5080
