Special Thanks

Special thanks to ASRock for providing Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR5-6000 (KF560C36BBEA-16) EXPO ready memory for this review!

Finished Looks

The ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara undeniably looks fantastic, subjectively. The RGB on the motherboard is minimal with only the back area near the SATA ports producing any lighting effects.

Test System

Supporting Hardware

Testing is performed with the newest available version of the BIOS at the time of review. All BIOS settings related to the CPU are left untouched. EXPO is enabled for the memory. However, if the primary, secondary or tertiary memory timings are incorrectly set by the BIOS, it is tested as-is to mimic a standard user. The same goes for the CPU. Unless it is a bug in the current BIOS—i.e., not present in other versions—any and all CPU boost parameters are left alone.

Note: Using BIOS 1.04 (first retail), DDR5-6000 automatically has the memory controller in a 2:2:1 Ratio. BIOS 1.07 now runs the memory subsystem in 2:1:1 (Infinity Fabric--Memory-Memory Controller)
