Nobody else a bit unnerved by the fact that these boards tend to have chipset cooling

Well only with a 3000 series cpu and only the first x16 slot...

PCie 4.0 is double the bandwidth. Add in a fast m.2 drive and that will be the reason. They will be configured in BIOS I reckon to only power up when the chips get hot. You could easily treble the bandwidth from previous setups in one of these boards. Plus these are not the lower end boards either
