I just ordered the Asrock Nova X870E , after rebate just paid 325.00 us dollars . is almost the same performance and features like the Taichi and even way better VRM than the Asus Hero X870E . Asrock is a underrated motherboard brand that offer flagship and feature performance that other manufacturers charge you for this hundreds dollars more
@@connorfrancis56 this was my experience until a few generations of cpus & ram speeds were being broken on Taichi boards exclusively. That put them on the radar for me. sadly my core P5 cannot fit an eatx board so i may be compromising with something else.
I bought the X670E Taichi from watching yours & a couple other videos a year ago, I'm wondering what the performance difference will be. Is it possible you will be testing both the 670 & 870 Taichi boards with an identical processor like the 7800x3d or 7950x3d with the same game & compare frame rates across both mobos?
Since i am on water cooling it is very good that they FINALLY added thermal sensor connectors to their motherboards. There never were any even with X670, always wanted a taichi board but this was a no go for me.. I have to ask, since it's Extended ATX, will if actually fit a normal ATX case like Lian Li O11 EVO?
Is this board actually released/purchasable yet? Really want to upgrade from X570. I can only see some X870E motherboards available to buy, but I would rather ASRock.
Available at Amazon but at very high prices. Third part sellers too so no official ASRock warranty support. Official retailer Central Computers has them in very limited quantities at $449/$389 USD for Taichi/Taichi Lite.
it is on sale, always support asrock, top brand and highly popular in asian counties, i used asrock brand for 5-6 years, i just preordered the Asrock x870e nova wifi, will arrive in about a week time at my place
I can't find any ASRock X870 boards for sale at the usual online stores in Australia I buy from at this current moment. I'm only able to find the Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte ones.
I ended up just ordering the Taichi off Newegg, because none of the Australian stores seem to be selling it. Apparently I should receive it by the 8th October. Also, I use 7 drives and a Capture Card. Even if the PCIe lane drops to 8x, performance of the GPU doesn't exactly drop much - I've tested running a GPU at 8x vs 16x before, as well as Gen3 vs Gen4. Nothing to be concerned about.
Get the Asrock x870e Nova then, its ATX and is almost identical to the taichi, same exact features, except the audio is a little better on the taichi, but another bonus is the Nova is 100 bucks cheaper.
The cheapest x870e board on Newegg is the GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 for $320. I'm an old school gamer that had Gigabyte and Asus builds since 2000. I don't believe in spending too much money on a board as I don't overclock. I put more money on components that factors more into performance.
The Taichi Lite was the board I was most interested in. Unfortunately it doesn't have the easy release GPU bracket, and removing your GPU from that super cramped setup will be a nightmare, but I really don't feel like spending another $250- $350 to get the normal Taichi that has the exact same performance other than that one feature. edit: $50 difference. Would have just used a strikethrough, but for whatever reason, that doesn't seem to work anymore on TH-cam.
@@arthur_pd Yeah, I found that out when I looked at Newegg. It's pretty shocking that there's only a $50 difference. Functionally for the most part the two boards are the same, but the normal one has the Ez-release for the GPU which is kind of a big deal. The backplate is also nice.
@@rbitrossome Every six months or so if you actually keep your system clean. Not that often, but it's enough for the cramped and hard to reach clip to be super annoying.
Other than the cheesy light up gears, this is far and away the most beautiful board I've seen. I love the clean lines and color choices. Very nice looking layout to. And those VRMs! I'm sure I would love to own it, but the price will probably be sickening :/
@@Takeme_DCUO The Lite losses the easy release slot, back plate for cooling and I think one or two other quality of life things, besides the aesthetics. Having had more time to learn about the new boards, the Nova is the one for me. But everyone else has figured that out too now and they aren't in stock anywhere. The main functional difference is the choice between a second 8x that's shares lanes, vs no lane sharing and a 1x Gen 3 and 2x Gen 4. The later configuration is enough to install both a sound card and a new network solution if it's ever needed. With up to five m.2 slots, that's a much more realistic scenario for me. It's $100 cheaper too, give or take, if it comes back without a price hike.
@@zackw4941 yeah I hear you, I'm fortunate I saved enough for the taichi but the nova is definitely appealing, I hope you get what you want sooner rather than later 👍☺️
Which may be even more expensive yet. And looking at AM4 longevity, AM5 will likely get same support to live a bit longer. But then again, when the time comes, you can wait another 6 years for next socket because too expensive.

It’s sad because people think Asrock is a cheap brand and that means it’s lower quality but that’s definitely not true
Agreed

100%
People keep getting Asus board even though they're the worst
I wish it had 10g networking so disappointing , IT is pretty but id probably just go with the light and add a 10g nic
And? Wi-Fi 7 does 30 Gbps.

Do you have access to the second PCIe slot with this GPU installed? It's hard to see on the footage
Probably not looking at the test rig it's in but in a full tower it's probably just fine.

Almost went with that one,but realized you can only use 1 NVMe or you will impact other component like GPU or USB4
Amazing video! Great job! Subscribing!
Thanks for the sub!
Will this be able to run a 7950x3d with a ddr5 kit at 8000mhz-8400mhz or higher? Or does it require a 9000 series processor to make that leap?
This motherboard only works with Ryzen 9000 series CPUs
@@FunkykitWeird, this should be compatible back
@Tsuki9847 Cause I said so
newegg has a $40 review bonus rebate, so basically a $410 mobo
My main question is whether I can, having a 7900XTX Asus TUF Gaming video card, insert a sound card into the second PCI Express slot.
maybe You know that? i have same situation ... have ae-9 sound card and love IT ...
Dude, Replacement of CMOS Battery on this?? 😩
It's just like any other motherboard, not too difficult!
Waiting to pier it with 9800X3D
Waiting to go to school and learning how to spell too?
@@DrNoBrazil sorry man my english is not that good
I'll pair it with a 9950x for now (I don't just play games).
But I can always pair it with a 9950x3D further down the road if I wanted to.
In terms of on board qaulity of audio is it any good?
Good 👍 I have no issues with it
It has some of the best sound available on a mobo, it has a built in Sabre DAC, realtek 4082 codec, and has WIMA capacitors
Is this motherboard better than the asus alternatives?
I think so … also cheaper too

Taichi boards are still using that crappy wifi card and u are limited when u try to use every feature on the board so no its not the best.
