ASRock Z890 Taichi Flagship Motherboard

The ASRock Z890 Taichi represents the pinnacle of motherboard engineering for Intel Core Ultra Processors Series 2. This flagship ATX motherboard combines robust power delivery, cutting-edge connectivity, and premium components designed for high-end gaming and professional workloads.

Exceptional Power Delivery System

At the core of the Z890 Taichi is a 20+1+2+1+1 power phase design featuring 110A Smart Power Stage for VCore. The exclusive 20K capacitors with 1000uF capacitance deliver stable power delivery while extending lifespan to 20,000 hours. Hi-Density power connectors withstand higher current than traditional 8-pin CPU connectors, ensuring system stability during intensive overclocking sessions.

Premium PCB Construction

Built on server-grade low loss PCB with 8 layers and 2oz copper inner layers, this motherboard maintains signal integrity for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards and M.2 SSDs while optimizing memory overclocking potential. The advanced PCB design delivers lower temperatures and higher energy efficiency under sustained loads.

Massive Storage Capabilities

The Z890 Taichi features six M.2 slots, including one PCIe Gen5 x4 Blazing M.2 slot capable of 128Gb/s transfer speeds. Four additional Hyper M.2 slots support PCIe Gen4 x4, plus one hybrid slot supporting both PCIe Gen4 x4 and SATA3. XXL aluminum heatsinks with toolless design ensure optimal thermal performance. Four SATA3 ports provide additional storage expansion.

Next-Generation Connectivity

Dual Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports deliver 40Gbps data transfer speeds and support external displays, storage, and device charging. Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) technology with Multi-link Operation provides extreme wireless speeds across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Dual LAN configuration includes 5Gbps and 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports with optimized electromagnetic interference resistance.

Extreme Memory Performance

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel configurations up to 9200+ MHz (OC) with maximum capacity of 256GB. The patented Memory OC Shield reduces electromagnetic interference for enhanced stability during high-frequency operations. Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles enable one-click memory overclocking.

DIY-Friendly Features

Graphics Card EZ Release mechanism simplifies GPU installation and removal. M.2 heatsinks feature industry-first toolless quick-release mechanisms. M.2 bottom heatsinks dissipate heat through the PCB for maximum performance. BIOS Flashback enables firmware updates with just USB and power supply—no CPU or RAM required.

Premium Audio Solution

Realtek ALC4082 5.1 CH HD Audio Codec paired with ESS SABRE9219 DAC and WIMA audio capacitors delivers exceptional sound quality. Nahimic Audio software provides immersive 3D sound with Sound Tracker functionality for competitive gaming advantage.

Intelligent Thermal Management

Composite VRM heatsink combines cooling fan, aluminum sink, and heat pipe for maximum heat dissipation. PWM/DC fan headers auto-detect fan types for optimized curves. Thermistor headers enable customized thermal monitoring. Fan-Tastic Tuning software provides visualized fan curve adjustment.

Comprehensive I/O

Rear panel includes dual Thunderbolt 4 Type-C, four USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, eight USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, HDMI output, optical SPDIF, and Clear CMOS button. Front panel headers support USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C (20Gbps), additional USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 connections. Lightning Gaming Ports reduce jitter and latency for competitive peripherals.

The Z890 Taichi includes M.2 expansion card for four additional M.2 slots, ARGB splitter cable, thermistor cables, and flexible pre-mounted I/O shield. Polychrome RGB headers support synchronized lighting across compatible devices. Backed by 3-year replacement warranty.
