Great review as always. After hesitation between this one and the Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Xtrem I finally decided for last one (currently on order, not yet received).

These two boards offer quite similar specs and a Ethernet 10Gb link that is a must for me as I'll soon get a 10Gb fiber connection to the internet :-)

I know the price of the Aorus is much higher than the ASRock Ultimate (almost double...) but I frankly did not find the ASRock look that nice personally.

Below the details of my in assembly built (any comments welcome).

CPU Intel® Core™ i9-9900K (3.6-5.0+ GHz) 14nm

another great review, and another winner form Asrock. i've used the Taichi series for three builds (X399 1st & 2nd gen, Z370) and have gotten extremely good value and use out of them. i'm not in love with the screened graphics of gears, but i love the performance/dollar and relative lack of rgb.
if i ever had a reason to get a 9th gen Intel, this would be the board of choice for me.

Thanks Pictus. This at least gives me an "objective justification" for my expensive MB choice :)

Based on the temps figures above (if correct) I feel really bad for the two last MB VMR chips....
