Motherboards used to have issues with the fan running when it didn't need to, but to my knowledge that's been fixed. Unless you're running massive amounts of data through the chipset it doesn't get hot and on most motherboards the fan should stay off.

- ebg13 6y agoIf you're not running truly massive amounts of data through it, then PCIe 4.0 provides no benefit over PCIe 3.0 anyway.
- ben-schaaf 6y agoThe first PCIe slot, at least one of the nvme slots and a fair amount of the IO is connected directly to the CPU, they don't touch the chipset. There's plenty of benefit you can get by using just those. If you're really trying to get the most out of PCIe 4 then you're on the wrong platform anyway. Threadripper has way more IO going directly to the CPU and IIRC some Epyc motherboards have all IO going directly to the CPU.
