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.

Good review!

I finished a 2700x build recently with Taichi x470 (regular) and it was smooth building. Memory recognition is a lot easier than before, memory recognized & posted to 3200 CAS 14 on first try. Subtle RGB accents which can just be turned off. VRMs stay cool running under 24/7 80%-100% CPU utilization (it better with this setup!).

As mentioned, main M.2 stays cooler above GPU instead of cooking under it.

The AC Wi-Fi signal is good, albeit slower due to Asrock trying to save a few cents on the cheaper adapter.

Overall good, polished board, price is okay for a top end board of this class IMO.

Just because you purchased something over priced before, does not mean its a good idea to do it again. What features exactly are we talking about that make it worth $100 more than any other version of a x470 chipset based board? Not a single thing that's what. I get it, things have always been over priced, doesn't mean that just because its been a thing, that its a good thing. I too have spent way more on motherboards then they were worth and exactly 1 year later I regretted it as practically everything on it was out dated and there were better boards for cheaper prices. Nothing on some of these boards justify the premium price markup, and I'm not only talking about this board in particular but all over priced motherboards in general. There is literally zero advantage to any of this extra nothingness which is always limited by the chipset and processor anyway. Its crazy how my opinion is getting blown out of proportion and met with such opposition, just move on. Also no one commented to the author of the review himself and I will quote here "The more I test and write about X470 though, the more the cheaper sub 150 USD/EURO board appeal to me. Really, it's pretty much all the same in baseline and tweaking performance as the defining component for your tweaking, is the processor and memory, and you can spot X470 boards at 139 USD/EURO already. So value wise this might not be the best call to make, and that is the brutal truth." But I have to explain my opinion? Move along

I don't know if to buy those MB's @ ~200$ or just to buy cheap B350 with 4 dimm slots, normal VRM heatsink with Optical audio out (have DAC) + 2700X .
All core turbo clock is great, no real reason to manual OC, and if SLI/CF not needed then the B350 under 100$ can give you also option for tweaking, Only problem I see is the Bios update, this is main reason to buy x470 if you can't update the B350, Pluse we need more x470 ITX babys :).
P.S: It's not that x470 are bad, it's just that AMD made B350 to be too good for the price :-).
