You're experiencing heat issues with your ASUS TUF x570 WIFI setup. The PCH fan is working hard right behind the GPU, drawing in hot air and spinning above 3000 RPM. While a 140mm case fan below helps, it isn't enough. You've tried software like FanControl, but it crashes when temperatures rise and doesn't support BIOS tweaks. Switching to a B550 board could be a significant change, but it might offer better cooling if you're open to upgrading your hardware. Your current specs include a Gen 4 SSD and an R7 5800X—consider whether these are compatible with the new board before proceeding.

I picked a B550 simply to skip one of those fans and because I didn’t need the additional options. With a 5900X, a Gen 4 SSD, and an RTX 3080 running Gen 4, I’ve faced no problems. As long as you get a high-quality B550 with solid power delivery and VRM heatsinks and you don’t require multiple Gen 4 SSDs at once, you should be fine. I think fanless X570 models might be worth considering now. There could also be a method to turn off the PCH fan, but I’d avoid that risk.
