ASRock today announced their Taichi family of Z390 motherboards. The new Taichi motherboards (whose branding has garnered somewhat of a cult following among PC component enthusiasts due to their build-quality and reliability) are being placed in the top of the heap for ASRock's Z390 push.
The 8th and 9th Gen supporting motherboards feature the same 12-phase power delivery design for outstanding power delivery, as well as some other features such as an integrated M.2 shield and ASRock's Polychrome RGB lighting solution. Hyper BCLK Engine II also makes an appearance on both motherboards, for higher overclocking stability and capabilities. Other added features include ASRock's Purity Sound 4 with Realtek's ALC1220 audio codec. The Taichi Ultimate, however, ups the ante by delivering an Aquantia Ethernet solution (AQtion) with 10 Gbps throughput for the ultimate experience - though you'll need to make sure your infrastructure supports these speeds, and that you have a Cat6 Ethernet cable handy.
Both motherboards also feature 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort outputs, 8x SATA 3, 3x Ultra M.2 slots with a single M.2 cooling solution, support for 4200 MHz+ DDR4 memory (via OC), 5x USB 3.1 Gen2 (1x Front Type-C, 1x Rear Type-C, 3x Rear Type-A) and 8x additional USB 3.1 Gen1 (4x Front, 4x Rear). Check out the board images and promotional videos below.
