Thanks OP - initially considered this for a build I'm planning but will likely go with MSI x570 Tomahawk instead - for improved thermal performance (also cheaper).

  I just used a MSI Tomahawk X570 for a build … great quality … all worked fine. Had everything I need … great location for a USB-c front header, lots of SATA ports, 2NVME slots and built in backplate. It has 4 EZ Debug LEDs but no postcode display when you are after this.

The only thing that stops me from buying the Tomahawk is no on-board debug, it's a lifesaver.

  There are 4 on board EZ Debug LEDs on the Tomahawk

    Sorry I meant like the seven-segment display for debugging

what chipset should I get for Ryzen 4000 (5000?) series?
- Ori0n on 03/10/2020 - 18:25
  
  Zen 3 will be 5000 series and you should get a x570 or B550 chipset.

    I know these will be forward compatible, but will there be new chipsets released on top of these?

      No. We'd have heard about it before now. I would also advise x570 for future proofing.

  I would advise X570.
  
  Though I’m interested in seeing if there’s any new motherboard tech being released at the same time.
