DISCLAIMER: This review for ASRock review rebate program. As the title states, this board is HEAVY! Both in features, and in actual weight. (Bonus points if you know where the quote is from) I splurged on the ASRock Taichi X870E for my Ryzen 9800X3D as I wanted to go all out - it does NOT disappoint! From the moment you unbox it, its clear this thing is premium. The quality and design of this board is rock solid (ASRock solid?) and those gear-like accents give it a unique, steampunk-ish vibe. If youre building in a case with a tempered glass side panel, this board is made to be shown off with its RGB. This was my first ASRock board (I used to go with another brand that sounds similar to Bigalight), not just because I wanted something future-proof, but primarily because it doesn't utilize lane sharing for the m.2 drives & GPU. That being said, the PCIe 5.0 support is great! While PCIe 5.0 SSDs are still crazy expensive, its nice to know the board is ready for the future. This is also my first time back with AMD after years of using Intel chips. I thought overclocking would be a hassle, but I was able to get some slight overclocks on my 9800X3D and also my RAM. I will be playing around more with it later as I get used to things. That said, The BIOS is easy to use, even if youre not an overclocking wizard. ASRocks layout is pretty basic, but its clean and functional. All the important settings are easy to find, and tweaking voltages or RAM timings doesnt feel like a chore. The I/O on the back has SO many USB ports, it's unreal. It has USB4 as well as tons of 3.2 and 2.0 options. Wi-Fi 7 and a 5Gbps LAN port ensure youre covered whether youre gaming, streaming, or just downloading massive files. No bottlenecks here! The Clear CMOS and BIOS Flashback buttons are also great premium additions. Boot times are lightning-fast, gaming is smooth as butter, and multitasking is effortless (even with Chrome tabs!). Even under heavy loads - like rendering video or dabbling in AI generation - it stays stable and cool. ASRocks attention to detail really shows here!

It was very easy to setup, the BIOS comes with an easy mode to toggle, has a nice color and sleek design to it.

Workability, Usability, esthetics, was very easy to install and set up. It lets my components breathe and work to the nine without any issues. Set it up with dual boot of windows and a specially made kali linux version they did for me.

- Easy upset. - Easy updating of the Bios. - Nice Bios menu.

-The build quality is good, pcie 5 support -Simplistic design -Plenty of connectors and headers extra components -Sufficient and fast I/O interfaces -Decent WiFi 7 support, comes with antena -I/O shield pre installed -Comes pre-configured with best optimization for AMD Ryzen 9000 series

This motherboard is great. It is built very solid and offers everything needing for a gaming PC at a reasonable price. I chose this motherboard after watching a review of all the available X870/X870E boards available due to the price and it having some of the highest OC ability. It has been great so far with no crashing or stability issues noted.
