My bro, Will you please do a video covering the z709 Steel Legend? I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that board. I want the tiachi, but it's a little spendy for me. Steel Legend might be my choice if I can get your approval on it. Thanks
Can you let me know if the motherboard exhibits any coil whine? Either under load or maybe a faint buzzing which modulates in the background with system activity and present most if not all the time (can be caused by c-states). Can maybe someone run Aida64 copy memory test and latency/ Prime95, Cinebench r23 to see if any of those induce coil whine? I have Gigabyte Z790 Master, which is a fabulous board but has coil whine as described and i read that Asus Maximus Hero is the same... so how is it with Taichi? Many thanks
I suggest trying another power supply. Evga pq, t2, p2 series is completely silent after running Aida64 benchmarks for a night I had mild coil whine with Z690 Aorus Master and coil noise is gone. Psu: Evga 1000w PQ Corsair HX1500i induced gpu coil whine, while Evga one mutes it. Worth the shot for you ;-)
@@righteousone8454 @righteousone8454 that is s good info but not the best advice. You probably don't realize that EVGA is no more. They are gone, so I would not recommend buying their products. However their PSUs are based on leadex platform so Superflower should perform similarly. I actually own T2 850W, so I can try it. It is dead silent that is true but still my GTX 1080 whines powered by it. My 4090 is powered by Hx1600i. Both PSU and the RTX has some whine. I have Gigabyte z790 master that whines and Asus PRO art that is silent...
Something is wrong with your scores at cinebench R23, they are very low for the 13900k, should be minimum of 37k for multi score, i get 40300 with no oc only higher tdp
You did it too. You downgraded your badass GPU by using the same 16x lanes as your M.2. You have to move your M.2 to another slot to get 16x on your GPU. Right now you are getting 8x on your GPU and 4x on you M.2. You are wasting 4x of your 16x 4.0. An excerpt from the manual page 2: *If M2_1 is occupied, PCIE1 will downgrade to x8 mode.* If PCIE2 is occupied, M2_1 will be disabled. If PCIE3 is occupied, SATA3_0~3 will be disabled. great build, bad config. The benchmarks were still impressive even though you have it configured wrong.
I need some real oc guys! .ive got the apex on pre order but want something now for a sick watercooling project im itching to start! Anyone tell me how z690 Taiichi did? I am currently able to hit 7600 cl32 on my apex and am sitting on some really nice dimms but this board is maxed.. Full build - 13900k @ 6.0, 4.7, 4.8 ring... Can this board beat that?
They sure packed everything into that board. Your vertical case build looks great!
Unfortunately, all their Z790 boards don't have bios flashback.
just out of curiosity, how did you manage to get such a low R23 score of 31000, I haven't even over clocked mine and it hits around 40300.
Very great work as always ! 👏👍
Your cinebench scores were terrible did you have XMP enabled?
The de-noiser on the audio is very noticeable. You should apply it a bit more subtly.
I wish that music was louder in your mixer. I can still hear out of my right ear...
Lmao truth
Ahahahahaha

Is this too big for mid tower case ?
Mid tower is bare minimum… it might fit ok. Please check the dimensions of your case and also see the dimensions of the board on ASRock’s website
A shame those gears aren't moving!
Aren't they moving at all or is ist just not shown in the video? I'd really like to know that
Yea does anyone know if the gears move?
@@HadesX46 the gear does move and it’s programmable every 5 10 30 60 minutes or you can turn it off all together
Mine is getting shipped out today. Can't wait.
How does it perform with the 13900k?
@@pcgamerzzzchannel3407 unfortunately my motherboard hasn’t arrive yet. Should be here on Monday.
@@lifebydez nice im curious about the temps the 13900k is some hot chip.
@@pcgamerzzzchannel3407 I will definitely let you know. I have a discord where I’ll be posting updates. Do you want the link?
What is the link for that case it’s nice thanks.

Is it works with 13700 k or better with 13900 k ?
Both CPUs are fine 👍

Let me check again ... could be the BIOS
I was thinking the same, I get 40300 and I haven't even overclocked it on a z690 msi edge with DDR4
how can it be 2x pcie5x16, the gen 13 only has 20 pcie lanes!
You need a New motherboard a New power supply and as bonus a new circuit breaker at your house.
You did it too. You downgraded your badass GPU by using the same 16x lanes as your M.2. You have to move your M.2 to another slot to get 16x on your GPU.

You're right ... at the time of review we only had a budget card to test this particular board.

better vrm than the comparable asus flagship strix or aorus master
Is that true ?
@@luks6436 yeah I looked it up lol
you don't need a new motherboard ~ z690s will work with 13th gen.
Yes both Z690 and Z790 can take both 12th and 13th Gen Intel processors
dude i had to push at 1000% the speakers to hear you omg, fix ur volume
