Final Thoughts
The ASRock X299 Taichi motherboard is a “must-have” for all you enthusiasts and hardcore overclockers out there. The board not only looks great with its Taichi design
But also performs just as good
1 2 3
Nothing
WiFi module is lower model than competing products
No SLI support on Kaby LakeX
BIOS and software could use some work
Platform still a bit rough around the edges
Holes on board's surface where components could have been
ASRock has done a fine job with the X299 Taichi. We could nitpick about only having an 8+4 pin power connector and single designer VRM heat sink, but the Taichi isn't a ROG motherboard. It is at the core of ASRock's design philosophy and has a long legacy...

High-quality CPU VRM solution – 13 phases and heatpipe cooling solution, Dual Gigabit and WiFi, Triple M.2 and 10 SATA ports, Neutral colour scheme, Shielded PCIe slots, Dual LED headers, Debug code reader
1T1R WiFi is entry-level, Onboard RGB LEDs are underwhelming, No onboard power or reset buttons, No M.2 cooling solution
A bountiful range of X299 options exist currently on the market and differentiating between models tends to be difficult at the best of times. That said ASRock has still managed to carve out its own unique identity with the X299 Taichi XE motherboard.At t...

Eighten X299-motherboards later we can at least conclude that we have not come across a single motherboard that is truly bad. What this means is that you can build a properly working and high performing system based on every tested board. Considering the...
Great overclocking, Good efficiency, Dual Gigabit Ethernet plus Wi-Fi, Three M.2 NVMe slots with one fed directly by the CPU
Wi-Fi module is lower model than competing products, No SLI support on Kaby Lake-X
The X299 Taichi's CPU-fed M.2 slot is likely the biggest competitive advantage of the three LGA 2066 motherboards tested thus far. Though the way its extra M.2 slot is connected precludes SLI when used with Kaby Lake-X, the X299 Taichi is cheap enough to...
DDR4 4,000MHz capable, Great performance out the box with no tuning, Reasonably priced,
No power, reset or CMOS clear buttons, Unnecessarily complex overclocking with some UEFI versions,
The ASRock Taichi is an ideal board for building a powerful workstation or gaming machine. It's not strong in any one discipline, but it's got everything you need to create a powerful workstation...
The ASRock X299 Taichi retails at RM 1,549 and it comes with 3-years warranty.It is a good board but I'm disappointed that it doesn't come with POWER / RESET button despite the hefty price tag.Feature wise it's splendid but for that price I'd expect more...

Features for the price Inc WiFi, dual LAN, Refined BIOS and general feel, OC is just too easy, Triple M.2, Subtle design in the era of RGB nightclub laser shows
CPUs are hard to recommend, Onboard power and reset switches would be nice
The ASRock Taichi felt like a really mature motherboard with a strong BIOS and effortless OC capabilities. This is really great to see on a new platform, which typically takes a few BIOS releases to iron out the kinks, particularly when it comes to memory...
