ASRock X870E Taichi EATX Motherboard for AMD AM5 CPUs

Bought this product and item recieved were damaged and defective. When I tried to return it I was told I wouldn't get a refund due to the product being damaged. Very upset with the product and seller. Do not purchase

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.

My 6 year old Asrock Taichi motherboard finally bit the dust. I had good luck with the old Taichi motherboard so I went to the Taiche for my new build, I went with a new modern Asrock Taichi motherboard. One of the items I love is this is a premium board that is inexpensive compared to other premium motherboards. It has 11 USB ports with 2 of them being type-c. I have a USB hub for all my external drives Now the downside: 1. This is an eAXT motherboard so I had to get a new computer case since the new motherboard won't fit in the old case. 2. The Bluetooth and Wi-Fi only works with Windows 11 (no support for Windows 10). When I contacted Support (I am very pleased Pablo. I got an email back the next day). 3. Windows 11 drivers for the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi don't work and you have to go through bios to force Windows 11 to take the new drivers . You have to download the new drivers from Asrock's website. 4. After updating the the drivers, the line out for audio stopped working. My workaround was to purchase an USB line out connector. Works great now. I am running the latest AMD Ryzen 9 9950x3d CPU. 32 gig of Corsair Dominator 7000 ram. I had to use my old Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super since the new Gigabyte 5070 was dead on arrival. Once I get my refund for the GPU, I will buy it again. Amazons refund policy for GPU and power supply is different than what I experienced with other returns (I had 2 Thermolake power supply's arrive defective. I went with a Corsair this time around). I guess they want to check the GPU and power supply out for themselves before they process the refund. You know, make sure the serial number on the GPU is the same serial number that is on the box. Makes sense to me. All in all, I highly recommend the Asrock Taichi motherboard.

The delivery by local seller was fast Was skeptical on Asrock X870E when I saw print on the box mobo was produce in Vietnam - Hooked up with a 9800x3D cooled by Lianli GA2 Performance on Rad 7900XTX in Lianli 011D EVO case - No need to do BIOS update and booting up on Win 11x64 without a hitch. - XPG DDR5 2x16 was boosted to 6000 with PBO enable No compatibility issue so far. Did some gaming for few hours, no stutter or hang up. Will update later after tweaking and getting some milage out of the combo Good Buy if you can get the stock

Please read up on "Asrock AM5 x3d failures" before purchasing this board as of April 2026. I purchased this to replace a MSI Tomahawk that was supposed to be "the one" to get. I was unfortunate to come across a very rare manufacturing defect on that purchase. This board has been solid so far. Instantly new it was better than my previous board. Much more responsive. Asrock Bios is about the same as its been since SandyBridge. After going to UEFI their bios have been pretty decent. AM5 Memory training is slow, but I think that's fairly universal. The onboard CPU temp is a nice touch. It takes over the error LED readout after boot. MOBO has a power button it. Very cool for Troubleshooting or a DIY test bench without a button (i'll get around to it).
