ASRock X299 Taichi Review
Power Consumption & Temperatures »Finished Looks
I really love how this board looks when it's sitting idle without any LED madness going on, and when you fire it up, you are greeted with a pulsing blue glow that peeps out from under the gear-shaped PCH cooler.
You've got to love how this platform allows for DIMMs on both sides of the socket to be installed the same way so things like logos on the tops of sticks align properly. ASRock has done a great job of arranging it all in a way that has it look just as good as it works.
