Looks really nice. I just wish they would put more than 8 USB-A ports on the rear panel. The Aurous Xtreme still wins in my book because it has 11 USB-A ports on the rear panel.
Also these photos aren't very high resolution, so I can't properly make it out, but do those DisplayPort ports say "DP IN"? I've never heard of a motherboard with a built-in capture card but that'd add a lot of value.
Yeah it's not actually video capture, it's more like it'll take the DP signal from an external GPU and combine it into the Thunderbolt stream, allowing you to use a Thunderbolt dock or whatever with the video signal on a single cable.
They should have put 8xSATA Ports on this all in one board esp when this one has more lane throughput than a Z590. Even their own C8DH has 8x. Maybe those Thunderbolt ports take up the bandwidth.
Also the only aspect that I'm waiting to hear is does X570S share same issues as X570 for USB and USAP or not & I'm not going to spend $1000 on a Mobo. That's way too much, for a non HEDT platform.
It's odd, x570 offers trading two sets of x4 lanes for two x4 sata... I'm sure they burned those x4 lanes on an extra m.2 slot, but how did they end up at x6 sata?
I wonder if this is like the ROG STRIX X570-E where the big plastic shroud sticks up so high that some graphics cards won't fully seat in the PCIe slot.
It looks as if at least one PCI-Express x16 slot's shroud is removable. Still, blocking card installation clearly indicates a design error on someone's part.
If it came out sooner, I would of purchased it. It is coming later towards the end of the AM4 life, but that looks to be the most complete motherboard yet and has everything integrated and on the backplate including 2 Thunderbolt 4 USB C ports and 2 DisplayPorts. Currently I have the Gigabyte Aorus X570 Xtreme v1.1 Motherboard with Thunderbolt 3 header and the Titan Ridge add-on card and hard to justify upgrading the board at this time, but if price looks good, it could be tempting, if I plan any major upgrades.

Hopefully it will not be another ~$1000 MB.DigitalFreak - Monday, August 2, 2021 - link
I suspect it will be over $600.YB1064 - Wednesday, August 4, 2021 - link
Only 2 x full length PCIe slots on a $1000000000 Extreme XXX Super duper 80 + 74 phase VRM motherboard??willis936 - Monday, August 2, 2021 - link

Also there is no mention of ECC support but I would consider that a starter for a motherboard in this category.meacupla - Monday, August 2, 2021 - link
"DP in" is for outputting video through the thunderbolt ports.There are a few other thunderbolt capable mobos that have this same feature.

I still haven't seen many thunderbolt displays. Are there any VR HMDs that run off thunderbolt?evilspoons - Tuesday, August 3, 2021 - link

The price of a system comes in around the same as a TR Pro/WRX80 system but you get the most cores while getting the single threaded crown.coburn_c - Tuesday, August 3, 2021 - link

I believe you get 2 SATA ports natively on Ryzen. So 2 CPU + 4 chipset = 6notashill - Tuesday, August 3, 2021 - link
