great review HH my first AMD mobo was the 1st gen TR Taichi and it blew my Gig x99/299 (etc) out of the water with a superior build quality, aside from chipset features. it also was attractively priced (for those days). this time however, it actually has competition for maximum/minimal (features vs fluff aesthetic) with the Asus TUF X670E

Usually Asrock always did pretty good in terms of value & features, that's what moved me away from other big names that you always have to pay the brand price premium... Up to this date, Taichi's always been one of my favorite models in the market.
