ASRock Z370 Taichi Review

Finished Looks


I think ASRock did a great job with the layout of everything, even though there are three M.2 ports. Putting those two M.2 ports at the bottom next to each other was a great idea.


Once up and running, I noticed that there was barely any illumination from the onboard LEDs under the chipset cooler. Fortunately for me, I got my RGB RAM and LED strips to make up for it :P.

You get a very basic Turbo profile upon first boot with the ASRock Z370 Taichi. If you were a bit forward-thinking, you would have flipped the XMP switch to get the best out of your memory on the first boot, too. I did not.
