ASRock AMD X870E Taichi AM5 DDR5 PCIe 5.0 E-ATX Motherboard

Ok, there were a few problems in earlier bios versions that had a soc voltage anomaly/bug that you should be aware of. This has been widely reported on but fixed according to ASRock. I have had no problems on the board at all, it is well built, good quality and is a good price compared to other motherboards with similar or even lesser specs.

This is well made, certainly better than the Intel mobo it replaced. I'm no gamer so can't comment on that aspect but the inbuilt graphics chip seems plenty good enough for my modest video needs. Plenty of instructions for installation, it went together very smoothly. People say the AMD boards are slower than Intel to start up. Mine takes about 20 seconds without any messing with the settings, a lot faster than the (ancient) mobo it replaced. For my modest needs my 12 year old Noctua fan keeps the processor at 30-35 centigrade, nice and cool. You will judge for your own needs, but I'm delighted with it.

This thing is a beast. No issues with my 9800X3D so far (fingers crossed) although I have been keep right up to date with the BIOS updates. If you want a Motherboard for AMD which allows you to use 4xNVME without lanes being blocked - this is the one for you. Wifi and BT are also solid. I didn't build this PC myself, so if you're going down that route - check other reviews.

I thought the problems were fixed, they're not, this thing worked for about 6-7 months then damaged my CPU and wouldn't boot properly just as thousands and thousands of others have also had happen to them with AsRock boards. Do not buy AsRock. I had a great graphics card from AsRock which gained my trust for the brand but this has taken away all trust I had, definitely avoid AsRock motherboards. If you do any research you'll see why. It'll be MSI or Gigabyte for me in future as Asus and AsRock are dirt it seems.

Decent build quality and easy to build your PC. Has a great power delivery. No issues with set up and bios flash features are super easy. Bios itself could be easier to navigate but it has all the tools necessary to overclock your system. Good cooling and enough m.2 drives for most needs.

Decent price, does the job. For those coming from DDR4 expect longer memory training, this is normal for DDR5 on first boot.

Monster of a motherboard… the most feature rich and powerful I’ve ever put into my build. Bought as it doesn’t share any of the m.2 lines with the pci for the graphics card.

very well built board. very stable with 7800X3D and RAM at EXPO 6000 setting
