ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara

A large-format (E-ATX), high-performance motherboard from ASRock designed for use with the new generation of AMD Ryzen processors (note: 7000 and 8000 series). It belongs to the highest price segment and is a member of the Hi-End ASRock Taichi family, where literally every second model is capable of flexing its muscles for hours. Among the main features of the device are advanced circuitry built on the basis of heat-resistant Japanese capacitors, a 27-phase VRM unit with VCore and GT, the use of the PCI-E 4.0/5.0 bus, as well as support for overclocking DDR5 RAM with a maximum frequency of 7800 MHz.

All this allows us to consider it as the ultimate solution for gaming PCs designed for 4K resolution, high graphics settings and active use of ray tracing technology. Also, the ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara can serve as an excellent alternative to professional motherboards, such as Asus ProArt and Gigabyte Vision. The main thing is not to miscalculate the dimensions, since the E-ATX format may be incompatible with some standard Midi Tower cases.

The use of the flagship AMD X670E chipset guarantees compatibility with almost any modern components. In particular, the manufacturer indicates the possibility of installing up to 192 GB of DDR5 RAM with a maximum clock frequency of 7600 MHz and several super-fast M.2 SSD drives. It is especially worth noting that one of the slots belongs to the PCI-E 5.0 Blazing class, and the other three belong to PCI-E 4.0.

Reception and conversion of incoming network traffic is provided by the proprietary Killer E3100G network controller with a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port and a specialized Killer AX1675X wireless receiver (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3). The advanced audio subsystem Realtek ALC 4082 with a built-in amplifier ESS SABER 9218 DAC is responsible for sound output. In addition, the board has advanced tools for overclocking components and monitoring the system, supports the ASRock Polychrome Sync lighting system and boasts a solid set of connection ports, including USB4 with support for Power Delivery technology.
