The Taichi is priced at $290 on Newegg, which places the Taichi near the ASUS Prime X299-A ($296), the MSI Tomahawk AC ($290) and the EVGA X299 Micro ($290).The Taichi, compared to the Fatal1ty X299 Professional Gaming i9 we recently reviewed, is aimed at...

ASRock's Taichi motherboards really do stand out when compared to other motherboards. Most motherboard manufactures have an entry-level segment, then a gaming segment, and then finally a high-end enthusiast segment. The Taichi sort of has elements from al...
