ASRock AMD X870E Taichi Ryzen Socket AM5 X870 Dual Channel DDR5 DIMMs 256 GB 8200 EATX Motherboard M.2 LED WiFi 7

By for the best motherboard I have ever had. The Ryzen 7 7800x3d hit 5.4 ghz on it. Can't wait to see how the 9950x3d boost on it. Eclk works perfectly.

The Good:- extremely detailed enthusiast board with seemingly endless configuration options- top of the line features for futureproofing at an " " "Affordable" " " entry point to AM5 socket- tons of features (OC, EXPO, storage, fan profiles etccccc)- solid hardware compatibility (high speed DDR5, mass storage interfaces, PCI-E 5)- good looking piece of hardware, high build quality and attention to detailThe Bad:- Bios UI is... unforgiving, at least having never owned an ASRock board- you will reminisce about MSI's bios interface then remember the AM5 MSI reviews- you will be visiting the Bios a LOT to get the most out of your system- while in the Bios you will realize this is the real OS you were always meant to be using all along- you will visit Amazon.com from the Bios just to review this board- the color isn't really white, its more silver for the heatsinks and like a weird matte white backplateThe Ugly:My experience and expectations from this product:Migrated old Win10 install with all data from an older Z390 Intel system. It both worked without a Bios update, and a fresh Bios was already available from ASRock by the time I received the item. Aside from minor self-induced setup hick-ups the motherboard has been an absolute beast seamlessly handling all of my old data and combination of old and new hardware. Given this is an X870 board I have high expectations for AM5 and PCI-E 5 compatibility and expect to upgrade the CPU and GPU a few years down the line.

Bought the Taichi Lite X870e to replace a damaged MSI Carbon MPG (my preference). I got this because it was difficult to replace the Carbon at a sensible price or purchase the regular Taichi near list price. Simply put both of these boards are of superior construction compared to the Lite.Nonetheless, my computer is stable with Crucial Pro RAM 96GB (2x48GB), 9900X, Thermalright PS120SE air cooler, Corsair RM1000x PSU, and Samsung 980 PRO 2TB. Light overclocking using PBO and Expo.Buy the right RAM to avoid issues.The ASRock BIOS is excellent as usual. Linux users: I am running Proxmox 8.3 (Debian based) but using a USB to ethernet adapter until the on-board ethernet port is supported by kernel 6.xx or ASRock steps up. Another reviewer reported similar problems with the on-board ethernet port, so the issue is well known.I like this board. Just don't pay exorbitant prices to scalpers.

24+2+1 power stages means there is almost no voltage fluctuation. This even fit into a regular ATX case, I just had to run most of the fans from the front instead of the side so I could put the cabling through there to the back. It has everything any regular gamer could possibly need in terms of m2 (ssd) slots, and there's no current need for anyone not actually rendering games/movies on their own to have more than 32mb of RAM across two sticks at 30CL, so even that is plenty. It has just enough USB ports of varying types for anything but the most extensive setups, and even then you could use splitters. Really, this is the top of the line cream of the crop of motherboards for serious gamers.With that said, if you're not running top of the line equipment and trying to overclock, this STILL can be worthwhile as an insurance policy for your expensive components. Definitely be sure to get a GPU physical arm support as there are no secondary attachments for any single PCIE port cards. Realistically, if you're not spending >$400 on your CPU/GPU, you don't need this, you don't even need a mobo over $150, but when you're spending almost $2k on the rest of your components, definitely consider this over any other mobo on the market if only for the incredibly longevity it can give to a CPU with that many power stages regulating the voltage.

Tengo problemas con el audio de la placa que se entrecorta el sonido además quiero actualizar el BIOS de la placa y es lo peor porque no me deja siempre se reinicia una y otra vez, la placa se tardó un mes en llegar a mi país y hasta yo armar mi PC ya no se podía hacer devoluciones y ustedes creen que Amazon haga algo al respecto? Por supuesto que noPésima placa no la recomiendo, váyanse por una Asus o Gigabyte, por algo seguro y no algo que no sirveActualización: El soporte técnico de asrock es pesimo y no me ayudaron en nada, me dijeron que me comunique con amazon y que proceda a la devolución pero como estoy en otro pais entonces no podia hacer eso, buscando por internet no encontre nada por 3 días pero se me ocurrió la idea de buscar un programa que actualice mis drivers y me ayudo, no se porque el controlador de realtek no me funcionaba y si, si actualice el controlador pero mediante este programa fue la única solución y de esa manera no perdi mi dinero, pero el soporte tecnico es terrible

A fantastic Motherboard. Coming from ASUS it felt like fell out from heaven. The Bios is way better and everything worked on the first power on and making a few basic adjustments for the memory frequency in the Bios. I can't recommend it enough.I've tested it with both Windows 11 and openSUSE, CachyOS and others. All worked perfectly.

Picked this up on sale. Has enough m.2 slots. Performance good, quality is great, boot time after bios update Great. And of course it just looks great.

Works great, haven’t had any issues.
