For the Taichi line, the Taiwanese manufacturer ASRock selects only the best motherboards for gamers who can compete with the "motherboards" of Asus ROG, Gigabyte Aorus and MSI MEG. The name for the series was not chosen by chance, taichi is a kind of Chinese martial art wushu, which means the desire to win and the desire to reach your own limit. As befits products for enthusiasts, representatives of the Taichi series are equipped with advanced circuitry, an advanced power system and additional cooling, which together are able to pull the acceleration of the 16-core monster Core i9 or Ryzen 9.


Usually, the manufacturer integrates everything possible into this board, attracting primarily wealthy buyers. Most often , the list of advantages of these boards includes a pair of M ports .2 with cooling, several reinforced slots for graphics cards (working in SLI/Crossfire modes), a top-end audio track and a Killer E3100X gaming LAn controller. Most Taichi support the installation of 128 GB of high-speed RAM, and in some cases the RAM limit reaches a very obscene 256 GB. Thunderbolt protocol support is practically not found, but in most cases, current Wi-Fi and Bluetooth receivers are already installed on board.

The boards themselves are most often built on overclocking chipsets of the Intel Z590 and AMD X570 level, models with AMD B550 middle-class chips are less common, rare and terribly expensive HEDT-class boards on an AMD TRX4 socket are quite rare. In addition to the usual Taichi boards, ASRock periodically releases specialized versions. The "Razer Edition" prefix indicates support for the Razer Chroma RGB backlight control system, and "Ultimate" tells us that this board has advanced functionality compared to the original.
