ASRock X470 Taichi review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/08/2018 03:01 PM [ 18 comment(s) ]

ASRock is back in da house, this time with the X470 Taichi . A motherboard that positions itself in the high-end range of X470, nicely built motherboard really and good looking is what it screams.

His job is to review and give objective analysis and perspective. Not to give special treatment to help promote products. He used the same setup for the last x470 review that he did.

And this is why we love Hilbert and GURU3D so much. This is the only site I come too for 99% of the computer stuff. If its not on here, Ill slum it somewhere else if I have too.

Thanks for the review Hilbert.

If anybody is interested, I can say that I think ASrock customer support is pretty good:
I bought a AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac board for my HTPC build, together with a 2400G. Turns out the stock BIOS (3.10) does not support the CPU right away, so you either need a Ryzen1 or old APU for socket AM4 to flash the BIOS versions (which worked fine with an A6-9500 CPU, 2 flashes via the necessary 3.60 bridge firmware you need to flash first).
What ASrock customer service (seated in the Netherlands apparently) told me after I filled out their online was that I received a messege after 1.5 work days that they'd send me a new BIOS chip with the latest firmware to exchange (BIOS chip is just socketed), free of charge.
It's not here yet but what could you ask more of a manufacturer to send you the new BIOS without cost?

I'd hardly call better cooling than the stock cooler on the 2700x OC'd special treatment, those temps are nasty but yeah the vrms are a lot colder than that gigabyte.

The whole point is its stock.
The prices on these newer boards are getting ridiculous though

No they are not. These boards have more features then $500 board from 4-5 years ago.

Board is $139. How is that ridiculous?
