In addition to new graphics cards, ASRock also showcased a couple of new motherboards at the Computex 2025 show in Taipei, including the new X870E Taichi OCF, X870 Taichi Creator, as well as the new Phantom Gaming X870 Nova Wi-Fi motherboard.

The star of the show is the new X870E Taichi OCF, which is also the first OC Formula motherboard based on AMD platform. This feature packed motherboard will support AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors on AM5 socket. It features a 25-power phase VRM with 110A SPS, has two DDR5 DIMM slots, two PCIe 5.0 x16 and single PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, a total of six M.2 ports (two of which are PCIe Gen 5 x4), plenty of USB ports, 5 Gbps Ethernet, integrated Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth, and most importantly, "Professional Overclocking Toolkit", which means that this one is aimed at some high overclocking. ASRock also showcased the new X870 Taichi Creator, a more standard motherboard that has 21-phase VRM design, but comes with Marvell's 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet ports.

ASRock, a global leader in motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, power supplies, and gaming monitors, is excited to announce the participation in Computex Taipei 2025. Under the theme Gaming Beyond Limits, AI Beyond Imagination, ASRock will showcase the dual focus on next-level gaming and AI applications. From immersive gaming setups to AI solutions, the exhibit highlights ASRock's commitment to innovation across both fields. Visitors are invited to explore the latest products and technologies, and to experience the Phantom Gaming Zone at booth L0818.

ASRock Unveils Flagship Taichi OCF and Taichi Creator AM5 Motherboards
To expand its success on AMD AM5 motherboards, ASRock will be adding more exciting products into its product portfolio. New product such as X870E Taichi OCF, the very first OC formula motherboard based on AMD platform, Phantom Gaming X870 Nova WiFi, the new high end gaming motherboard based on X870 chipset, a functional yet elegantly designed X870 Taichi Creator and also a lot more products that are based on X870 / B850 / B840 / A620A chipset.

Samsung Display today revealed plans to exhibit its next-generation OLED technology, boasting an impressive maximum brightness of 5,000 nits, at the Mobile World Congress 2025 (MWC25) on March 3.

The ultra-high brightness OLED was developed based on the polarizer-less display, also known as on-cell film (OCF) technology, which Samsung Display was the first to commercialize. This innovation not only enhances outdoor visibility but also reduces power consumption, paving the way for significant design flexibility. OCF technology is being applied to a bar-type smartphone and a rollable laptop, following its success in foldable smartphones, and is being recognized by customers as a high-value display technology.

ASRock, the global leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, gaming monitors and power supply units, proudly announces a new milestone achieved with the Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard. In a remarkable overclocking feat, overclocker AKM broke a world record in memory overclocking, pushing memory frequency to a staggering DDR5-12527 MHz. This milestone was accomplished using the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Processor, paired with the Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard and v-color Manta XFinity RGB memory, to set an impressive new benchmark in performance.

The Z890 Taichi OCF is the pinnacle of ASRock's commitment to extreme overclocking, embodying the philosophy "Built for Extreme Overclocking." Engineered to meet the demands of professional overclockers, this motherboard delivers unparalleled precision, overclocking capability, and performance. With an advanced design that allows for peak stability and high-frequency performance, the Z890 Taichi OCF has quickly set a new standard for enthusiasts and professionals who push their systems to the limit.

ASRock has a pretty comprehensive lineup of upcoming Socket LGA1851 motherboards based on the top Intel Z890 chipset, which the company will launch alongside the new Intel Core Ultra 2-series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors later this month. The company's Z890 lineup has been leaked to the web by VideoCardz. The lineup covers nearly every brand extension by ASRock, addressing a wide category of PC users, from the entry level that just wants an office desktop to harness the CPU power of the new processors, to the two distinct classes of the enthusiast segment—one which overclocks, and the other that needs every possible premium I/O from this platform, with the bulk of the lineup targeting gaming PC builders across price-segments.

At the very top are ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF and the ASRock Z890 Taichi. The Taichi OCF is the spiritual successor to the OC Formula series by ASRock targeting professional overclockers. It has the strongest possible CPU VRM solution from the company, the largest selection of overclocker-friendly features, and a 1 DIMM per channel (1DPC) memory configuration, for the highest possible memory overclocks. The Taichi OCF has most if not all of the I/O goodies ASRock has to offer. For this, you'll have to seek out the regular ASRock Z890 Taichi, with its four DDR5 memory slots, nearly the same overclocking feature-set as the Taichi OCF, but some added toys, such as Thunderbolt 4. The Z890 Taichi Lite is an interesting product—it has nearly all features that place it into the high-end segment, such as that 8-layer PCB, a strong CPU VRM, and premium onboard audio, among others; but skips on the bulk of the dramatic flair of the Z890 Taichi.

ASRock has announced a new graphics card that's entering its RX 6900 XT lineup, AMd's current GPU technology pinnacle in the consumer space. The new ASRock Radeon RX 6900 XT OCF is apparently ASRock's new top-tier offering, joining the Phantom Gaming and reference designs for this particular AMD SKU. Like most custom RX 6900 XT graphics cards, ASRock has fitted the RX 6900 XT OCF with a triple-fan, triple-slot cooler and heatsink assemblage, as well as with three 8-pin connectors to ensure the card is always fed enough power towards its top-of-the-line performance. The card further features a new, relatively colorful design for ASRock, as well as RGB bling for your visual pleasure (in sexy showcase pictures, because we know you won't find these out in the wild).

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. today announced Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) 1.3 certification for the Samsung ARTIK 05x series of modules, the first system-on-module family to be certified using new OCF standards for trust and connectivity for IoT. With the ARTIK 05x series, companies can quickly build Wi-Fi enabled edge products that meet OCF standards for interoperability, and take advantage of the ARTIK platform's built-in hardware and software solutions to ensure reliability, safety and privacy for connected products.

The OCF certification program ensures companies can create products that work seamlessly with other OCF certified IoT devices regardless of their form factor, operating system or service providers. OCF 1.3 certification assures interoperability with OCF specific testing and certification, improving time-to-market, and enhancing the customer experience.
