ASROCK X570 TAICHI - THE RYZEN 3000 MOTHERBOARD GIBBO & 8 PACK RECOMMENDS

That would have been better with this board, the bottom being the primary for the NVME.
They put all the bling and RGB lighting on the board and then a humongous GPU and cooler covers up most of it.
 
Does anyone have any default fire and forget settings for a 3800x on the X570 Taichi? will be running 3600mhz C16 Trident Z RGB Ram, would like to leave it on PB2 if possible as im not interested in PBO as it sounds like it does sod all anyhow.

Do i need to manually change voltage at all? been reading conflicting reports, some people say yes and some people say it gimps the performance... not sure which to believe.

XMP or dial in manual settings? what kinda voltage for ram if so? mines rated 1.35v for its settings 16-16-16-36 i believe.

From what ive been reading these chips you pretty much put in, fire up and leave everything near as default as possible, other than ram and potentially undervolting.

What slots for my 2 NVME? im guessing top slot and middle slots?

I am using first and second slot since they seem to be in order from top to bottom.

DRAM was set manually to 3600mhz, timings were done alone, and manually set 1.35.

All I did to the CPU was -100mv vcore and LLC level 1
 
I used the middle NVME slot for my m.2, as the top one had a standoff which none of the screws fitted, whereas the middle one was fine. Not sure what that was all about, but Windows installed without issue, so I guess it doesn't matter?

Because you have to use the screw that you removed from the armour itself. To remove the shield you need to remove 3 screws, the top/left screw goes exactly where the first NVME goes.

Doh! Oh well, I'm not doing all that again, it works just fine as is, and I've had enough for one day! :o

I don't think it makes a difference though, only the 3 slot is the one that disables one of the SATA slots as far as I can remember.

No harm done then, just me not paying attention. I also missed a single bloody motherboard standoff, and only noticed it once I'd done all the damned cables! :(

Well once I had installed everything and was ready to boot the PC I noticed I had not fitted the read IO perfectly and was slightly bent. I removed all the board screws with everything installed to fix it lol. I could had left it how it was but I was not going to be able to sleep knowing I left it like that.

I know that feeling, I'm normally more OCD about such things, but it felt like 100 degrees in my room and I'd had enough of fiddling around with doodads by that point! It hasn't blown up, so I consider that a success, even if it isn't perfect! :D
 
One thing that I was OCD about was the labelling of the SATA ports. When I installed my drives, I found out it's 1-8 from bottom to top not top to bottom as I initially assumed (and the manual said) so I ended up unplugging and reordering everything :D
 
I haven't even updated mine yet, and I'm very hesitant to do so, since the only improvement listed by ASRock is system fans! Unless there's other benefits they're not listing which are considered crucial? :confused:
