Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme doesn't have a fan. I hope there will be lower-end motherboards without one too, I still remember active chipset cooling on older platforms and the idea bothers me.
I've seen several newer model boards with active cooling.. it's better today then it once was with far quieter better quality fans. On some models you won't notice their there as they will be shielded. This one here is just a throwback though.. welcome to 2003!
No hybrid VRM coolers, just Rainbow Brite LEDs, these days. Are hybrid coolers still for sale on the Intel side? They have been since 2012 or so. Maybe the LED and plastic shroud thing has been substituted for quality on that side of the fence by this time, too.

Wth hell Gavin!?! You have the opportunity to show us their Godlike board (the first for the AM4) and you show the plus first? WHY?!! :(Setting that aside.. the active cooling.. apparently most of the 570s will have it. Interesting.

Godlike; 700-1000$ Gaming 150-250$... most likely something that normal people will use.halcyon - Monday, May 27, 2019 - link
Any X570 MBs with TB3 using the latest intel chips? Gigabyte?Gc - Monday, May 27, 2019 - link
Headline error? Headline implies one motherboard with two m.2 PCIe 4.0 slots.But gallery specs show 2 motherboards each with one m.2 PCIe 4.0 slot.

The gaming plus has 2 m.2 slots. One exposed below the second x16, the second above the 1st x16 hidden under a frag harder cover.It's hard to tell from the marketing poster in the gallery, but I think it's setup the same way.

the PCIE x1 slots are v3 not 4. Second M.2 is v3 as well. All according to manual
