Product showcase - unboxing

Let’s check what the ASRock Z690 Taichi box looks like first.

The box is huge, sturdy, and not too colorful (mainly black with some golden accents). The Taichi emblem is engraved in golden and silver accents and looks great.

You can find the most important features listed on the backside, including Reinforced DIMM Slot and DDR5 memory design, and a 20 Phase Smart power stage design. Inside (you need to flip the cover),

you’ll find the motherboard itself at the top. Underneath, you’ll find the accessories like:

Quick Installation Guide, Support CD
Three screws for M.2 Sockets
standoff for M.2 Socket
four SATA Data Cables
graphics card holder
wireless dongle USB Bracket
3010 Cooling Fan with Bracket and Screw Package
4010 Cooling Fan Bracket and Screw Package
ASRock WiFi 2.4/5/6 GHz Antenna

Overall a rather rich bundle.

Let’s head to a more detailed inspection.

Meet the Asrock Z690 Taichi motherboard. This product is from a series that already appeared using the Z590 chipset, which we’ve reviewed not long ago. When looking at the overall specs, the Asrock Z690 Taichi isn’t much different from the predecessor, which would explain such a price difference.

MSI has returned with a motherboard that is completely black, it does not apply RGB. And that's something we appreciate. This Z690 Alder Lake-ready motherboard features five M2 slots, WIFI6e, and a p...

ASRock Z590 Taichi review
Meet the Asrock Z590 Taichi motherboard. This product from the already well-known series (Taichi means Chinese martial art) focuses on bringing many features at a reasonable price. Well, it was like that till now. Why’s that? There’s about a 30 USD premium over the predecessor, the Asrock Z490 Taichi, an improved appearance, and a great-looking moving gear feature. This board targets the upper mid-tier/high-end range of the market (with a price of 459.99 USD).
