Echoing the strength and beauty of Italian Carrara marble, the 20th Anniversary Special Edition X670E Taichi Carrara showcases a beautiful, marbled cover design, and bundles a matching cooling fan with same marbled design.
"The X670E Taichi Carrara is a special edition motherboard to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of ASRock, "Taichi Carrara" resembles the high strength and the esthetic of Carrara marble, which are also the key elements we used while developing this motherboard", Said Chris Lee, Vice President of ASRock motherboard & gaming monitor business unit.
ASRock went all-out on its VRM design by designing with a 24+2+1 phase Smart Power Stage (SPS) Dr.MOS on the X670E Taichi series, providing users with the most powerful AM5 platform it can offer ready to unlock maximum CPU performance.
The new flagship ASRock X670E Taichi motherboards are equipped with many exciting features and technologies such as PCIe 5.0 16x GPU slot & DDR5 with Reinforced Steel Slots, an incredible IO that includes the latest USB4, plus four M.2 slots including a specially designed Blazing M.2 Gen5 heatsink and fan to help chill the latest ultra-high speed PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs. Other features include integrated Killer Wi-Fi 6E, Killer 2.5G Ethernet, ESS Saber DAC, Nahimic Audio, and BIOS Flash Back.
ASRock X670E Steel Legend & X670E Pro RS
Designed for enthusiasts, the ASRock X670E Steel Legend and X670E Pro RS both use premium 8-layer PCBs that improve OC capability and help keep the motherboard cooler even when using powerful hardware. The 16+2+1 (Steel Legend) and 14+2+1 (Pro RS) Smart Power Stage VRMs are ideal for any Socket AM5-based Ryzen 7000 Series processor; SPS VRMs improve efficiency, run cooler and help keep the system more stable.
Both motherboards include PCIe 5.0 16x GPU slot & DDR5 with Reinforced Steel Slots, four M.2 slots including Blazing M.2 Gen5 SSD, AMD RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E, Dragon 2.5G Ethernet for maximum expandability and functionality.

10 Comments on ASRock X670E Motherboard Series Launches Ready for AMD AM5 CPUs
In fact, I wish there was an mATX version of the Carrera or a similarly white-heavy AMD mobo, for build thematic purposes.
1) I'd love for Asrock -- and others -- to ditch the Realtek LAM chips on premium offerings. I225 isn't too much to ask for.
2) I lament the loss of PCIe slots on many new 'high-end' boards. I know some of you will immediately say 'but all you need to plug in is your GPU', to which I say I'll show you where you can plug your... er... Anyway, until 10GbE ports become standard on board, for just one example, I'd like to have multiple slots (populated with at least one 3.0 x 4 in a 16 on ATX boards). The best X570s boards provided great flexibility to choose four NVMes, or slot-use choices, or SATA port usage. Newer CPUs add lanes over time as well, so having to choose won't be as much an issue if manufacturers don't just dump everything into rear IO, too. It'd be nice not to have to take the so-called bottom teir products just to get slots, right (yes, I know some manufacturers have better about this in the past (I'm looking at you, Gigabyte))?
