ASRock X299 Taichi XE Motherboard Review

X299 Taichi XE

We’re big fans of the ASRock motherboard range, and I’m sure we’re not alone. Their focus on flagship build quality and features that provide round the clock performance is always impressive. Of course, coming from their background in enterprise and server technology, it’s no surprise they’ve learnt a few tricks in those markets. With X299 being more focused on the enthusiast and workstation based systems, it’s a perfect match for ASRock.

What ASRock Had to Say

“Designed with a 13 Power Phase design, this motherboard features sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well. Extra-large aluminum alloy heatsink along with heatpipe that effectively take away heat from the MOSFET, so that your whole system may perform more stable.” – ASRock

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
