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.

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).
Congratulations!
The Gigabytes Z390 got away better VRM.

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....
