Nice to see they let the horrible red theme go as well and go with something more classy, you cant go wrong with asrock man theyre amazing performers and the polychrome leds are amazing

Here's a nice picture to wet your appetite

That does look good. Hopefully I can get a review sample of the Fatal1ty or Taichi from Asrock.

Done, ive just ordered one a taichi, lifes too short init. so we will see how good it is, my bets are placed in this being the best x470 board on the market.

The onboard audio is probably the best on any board too

@POE_UK

Tell me how it goes, I am also thinking about ordering a x470 taichi and some memory.
I wanna be sure this new taichi performs as the x370 taichi or even better :D

Oh ill let you know fella, as far as cpu overclocking is concerned the x370 taichi and x480 taichi are identical, unfortunately x470 and ryzen2 do not support windows7, and i love 7! i use that os for older games and such, its awesome as you know.

the x370 taichi with ryzen1700 fully supports win7 pro.

Great news for x370 taichi owners, ASRock have just posted 2 new bios updates for us to play around with, version v4.64 beta, and v4.70 final with agesa 1.2a

This is very true with asus, they have very poor bioses on most of their boards, @hereic do you know if i can get a waterblock for an rx580 8gb?

One things for sure i wont be getting a ryzen2 cpu i really cannot see the point

well just took the front panel of my case and that extra pinout header right next to the CPU led header is indeed an extra USB2.0 port, how cool is that, i can fit a permanent secure erase lixux distro in that slot now with an adaptor. what i normally do every 2 months is secure erase my m.2 drive to keep it fresh then reimage from a backup

---

Does this method work for all SSDs? What does it actually do? Is overprovisioning even necessary?

---

Oh youve got me all wrong, im not talking about overprovisioning i mean secure erase

---

I always do a secure erase before re-imaging, it cleans up unwanted garbage from the drive. i use a small linux distro on usb drive to do it, just so ive got a fresh drive really.

Yeah that's what i figured - fuck gigabyte motherboards lol

My 1080Ti from gigabyte is also questionable, might be RMAing that at the same time.

---

Fucking awful arent they, asrock are now making graphics cards btw and ive heard real good things about them. this will be my next gfx card https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD...ex.asp#Download

---

I won't be getting an ASRock unfortunately, as they're out of stock everywhere in my city and I can't wait for amazon/newegg to ship me a new mobo... downtime is the worst!

I'm able to pick up a Crosshair VI tomorrow though, so at least I'll have one of the two mobos that are universally considered the "best"! (taichi and crosshair)

RE: the GPU, 580 is a pretty sweet card if you're playing at 1080p. Above that it starts to lag behind a bit.
I tried one before i ended up getting the 1080ti, and the FPS on my 1440p monitor didn't satisfy.

ASRock are pretty sweet though, personally I hope that XFX gets into the motherboard game so there's more competition!

---

Mate anythings better than gigabyte, never known any other board as bad as them. im not a gamer so a 1080ti will be overkill for me only got about 5 games installed

---

Don't speak so soon I'm (or was) modding a firmware gor the GT7 based on AGESA 1002a, system felt a bit off so I did an AIDA64 bench, Biostar nerfed something bad in the latest update just look at these results :p

Well i'm pleased to report the x470 taichi is every bit as good as the x370 in every way possible, once again asrock have delivered a top motherboard, just a bit bummed that win7 wont work on ryzen2, apart from that it's truly excellent.

Overclocked 2700x to 4.12Ghz on a cheap deepcool air cooler, rams whizzing along at 3600Mhz cas 14,14,14. so in a nutshell if you havent bought a ryzen board yet get either of lthe taichi boards, if you already own the x370 dont bother unless you have a 2700x as well.

hello!
just found this thread about your bios mods, I have the X370 Gaming K3. thanks for you work! too bad that you dropped the support for this board. Do I need a in-deph understanding of bios mods to mod future releases of my own? Or can I do this with the instructions here in the forum and a little help from google?
