ASRock X570 Taichi AM4/M.2/DDR4/HDMI/ATX Motherboard

Really great board, obviously there are cheaper boards but if you want to spend a bit extra for quality and features this one is great! Looks amazing without being over the top, even without any power it is great to look at whilst still remaining subtle. The RGB on the board remains on when your PC if off and the settings are really straight forward to adjust. If you don't like this you need only turn off the PSU.Build quality is solid, packaging is very safe and perfect to build on when needed. Back plate on the board really fills you with confidence that this board is good quality, as well as making it very easy to handle without concern you're going to accidentally touch something you shouldn't!Only 2 flaws I'd seen people point out with this board is 1, the fan near the M.2 cover; some people don't like this regarding noise but it is becoming pretty common place and you can turn it onto silent mode. The other is one of the USB-C headers often get's blocked by larger GPUs. I ended up contacting ASRock support regarding my build as it was my first time. They were amazingly helpful and really efficient and polite, as well as very patient with my endless questions regarding build which isn't really their job to deal with. I didn't even bring up the USB-C header, they pointed it out to me themselves (I did already know about it though) and they offered me an adaptor to overcome the problem which I accepted and it arrived very quickly!Similar to everything else I'd bought, the instructions are somewhat limited which is the only fault I'd give this. But I think a level of experience is just expected. There are instructions that come with it in a tonne of languages you can also find online. They give you some advice regarding installing some components but I'd have appreciated a little more. One issue I found is when removing the M.2 cover the instructions aren't that clear about how to pull it off once the screws are removed, so this gave me difficulty. I finally found a video that stated there's a heat sink to the right on the underside. I had found it still felt quite secure here as if there were a screw I'd missed. But with a reasonable amount of force pulling up the left side it comes off easy enough. ASRock did explain and help with this afterword too :)Obviously do your research and get a cheaper board if it suits, but if you're utilising the features and or want a better quality board that's going to be somewhat future proofed, couldn't recommend this enough

has very good OC potential and has good vrm cooling , lots of nvme cooling and space up to 3. looks nice and professional aswell.

The issue that I had was that my graphics card would not fit properly unless the m2 slot cooling plate was removed, which meant that initially I had no video output and my ryzen chip had no on board graphics so I couldn’t use the on board hdmi port. Dr debug just gave me a d0 generic ‘It could be anything’ error. I emailed the supplier CCL computers but they took a few days to get back to me. The manufacturer replied the next day. Anyway I eventually figured it out, removed the m2 cooling plate and the video card fitted properly and worked. It works fine with some old Corsair 2666 ram and the newly fitted m2 slot ssd works fine without the heat sink plate. Flies along and is rock solid.

Used this Asrock motherboard for a new build comprisingRyzen 7 3700X ProcessorCorsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHzEVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti SC ULTRASamsung 970 PRO 512 GB NVMe M.2, for operating systemSamsung 860 EVO 500 GB SATA 2.5" Internal SSDCooler Master MCM-H500 +EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ GOLD 650W, Semi Modular psu.There were a few bugs on first try but quickly eliminated with the excellent Taichi counter post letting me know what components needed attention .i havent updated bios yet , but so far well within my expectations.would recommend if you are looking for a decent x570 motherboard that delivers.A bit loud though but expected.

Amazing in both looks and performance, VRM never breaks a sweat even with my 3800x overclocked as far as possible. Has also easily supported custom watercooling with the only issue being the rear I/O cover conflicting with the hardline tube but that's more a problem with my case and is a rare use case. Love the board would reccomend to anyone in the market for X570.

great x570 mobo, as Wendell said, it has everything you need and nothing you don't, very stable, the uefi is not gamer ugly, and a very well balanced IO plus VRMS for overclocking, overall a great experience, I'm very happy with this one
