Great download your BIOSTAR BIOS, and wish you could download some better VRMs because that potato is going to fry.

Someone should test the boards out and see if they do work or not.

Biostar Racing X570GT Review

X570 has been the most comprehensive launch in recent AMD history, with dozens of motherboards available. From E-ATX to Mini-ITX, there are many options for every form factor, except Micro ATX, for which only two boards exist. Today I'm looking at one of them, the Biostar Racing X570GT!

They say they are hesitant to put a 3900x in there but nothing stated a unit became a French fry because of it

Would you put the 16 core beast on that 4+3 board?

"BIOSTAR, a leading manufacturer of motherboards..." - i understand this is press release but if all, every single manufacturer is leading one then who is not? Not everyone can be leading.

Just checked, my ASUS X470 Prime is also has the 3950X on the supported list, supported from a several months old software version.
Checked the list on every other week and now it's appeared.

Looks like it is really coming out soon

Specs of the VRMs speak for themselves...

It won't instantly either. But given any kind of heavy load ... eh. 6 months maybe.
