Board Software

The driver disk included with the ASRock Z390 Taichi is pretty standard-fare, split into four categories and an ad page. ASRock has included some bloatware, and the "install all" list cannot be trimmed, so if you don't want the extra software, you will have to install all the drivers individually. The Taichi lost points here in my book.


For utilities, ASRock has kept it very minimal. There is App Shop, which offers a wide range of software, as well as a Live Update feature for drivers. I would actually recommend downloading A-tuning as it has in-OS fan controls for the board.


Also included are the "Restart to UEFI" applet, which is very handy for booting straight into the BIOS, and ASRock Polychrome RGB, which is a pretty thorough RGB control app.
