ASRock X870E TAICHI AMD AM5 Motherboard

The ASRock X870E TAICHI delivers flagship performance for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors. Built on the E-ATX form factor with an 8-layer, 2oz copper PCB, this motherboard combines robust power delivery with cutting-edge connectivity for enthusiast builds and professional workstations.

Professional-Grade Power Delivery

The 24+2+1 phase power design features 110A SPS for VCore+SOC, providing exceptional power stability for demanding workloads and overclocking scenarios. Server-grade low-loss PCB construction ensures superior signal integrity, while enlarged heatsink armor and 20K long-lasting black caps maintain stable operation under sustained loads.

High-Performance DDR5 Memory

Four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel memory configurations up to 8200+ MHz (OC) with a maximum capacity of 256GB. Full compatibility with both XMP and EXPO memory profiles delivers exceptional performance for gaming, content creation, and professional applications.

Next-Generation Storage and Expansion

Two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots support x16 or x8/x8 configurations for multi-GPU setups with AMD CrossFire support. The Blazing M.2 socket (M2_1) provides PCIe Gen5x4 connectivity at 128 Gb/s, while three additional Hyper M.2 sockets offer PCIe Gen4x4 support. Six SATA3 ports expand storage options further.

USB4 and Advanced Connectivity

Two rear USB4 Type-C ports deliver 40 Gb/s bandwidth with USB PD 3.0 support up to 15W for charging. Additional connectivity includes five USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports at 10 Gb/s, one front USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C header at 20 Gb/s, and Lightning Gaming Ports optimized for gaming peripherals.

Audiophile-Grade Sound

The Realtek ALC4082 5.1 CH HD audio codec pairs with an ESS SABRE9219 DAC delivering 130dB SNR for exceptional sound quality. WIMA audio capacitors, individual PCB layers for left/right channels, and Nahimic Audio software provide immersive audio. Direct Drive Technology on the front headphone port supports headsets up to 600 Ohms.

Network and Wireless Performance

Realtek RTL8126 5 Gigabit LAN provides wired connectivity up to 5000 Mb/s. The 802.11be 2x2 Wi-Fi 7 module supports 2.4GHz/5GHz/6GHz frequency bands with 160MHz channel bandwidth, Bluetooth 5.4, and MU-MIMO technology.

Display and Cooling Solutions

One HDMI 2.1 port supports 4K 120Hz with HDR and HDCP 2.3. Two USB4 ports provide display output up to 8K 30Hz with AM5 Ryzen processors featuring integrated AMD RDNA graphics. Eight fan headers with smart speed control and automatic 3-pin/4-pin detection ensure optimal thermal management.
