EDIT: Oh shi- it's $220 now on Amazon. Hmm...
If it wasn't for Newegg being Newegg with a crap no cancellation and no returns sales policy up here, I would have returned my TaiChi. For the build I am helping with, I ended up having to custom make a Southbridge cooler.
Who the beep... Thought making a big plate over the entire bottom of the board is a good idea. I actually found only one review that mentions that changing your M.2 drive(s) if watercooling the GPU is a loop draining procedure.
I had to replace caps to fit a decent VRM cooling setup. The heatsink us a thermal block, the heatpipe is hot glued into place only on the ends...
It's a cheap board for what you get but it's definitely got some drawbacks. If I do it again and they want this level of board, 100% I'd nudge them towards the X570 Aorus Master.
I have this board and improved TB3 support would make it an absolute killer in the ITX segment.
