Performance wise, I've noticed no difference but it looks like the bios also fixed the RDRAND issue that was stopping linux from booting (my Xubuntu VM works again) and in the On-board devices menu, you can now enable sata hotplug on a per-port basis.

With 1.70A the chipset fan speed settings in BIOS don't seem to work properly. Lowest setting it allows now is 30% (1.6 allowed me to completely turn it off), but it doesn't work, fan still keeps running at over 5000rpm. Silent is the best I can do (~3000rpm at idle), but I can still hear that so I am going back to 1.6.

How's the bios in general on the board compared to Asus etc? I've never had an Asrock one and am considering this.

Pretty solid both 1.6 and 1.7A used up to know.
Asus had bad experience with the CH6. The first one burned the 1800X and the second (6 months later) was iffy at best so send it to my brother.
In addition Asus had some crap BIOS for Ryzen 3000 up to now. Either overvolting the CPU resulting to low clocks, or other issues especially with Nvidia cards using PCIe 4.0 ports.

Nothing like that with the Taichi and the 5700XT.

Also my last Asrock board was the mighty Z170 Formula OC 3 years ago and only good words had to say about that board. (the one used to power 8700K & 9900K on Z170).
True Taichi is not the "top of the range" (that goes to Aqua), and is "cheaply" made, but is good solid one.

I'm having serious issues with chipset temps. Changed my 1080 cooling to a Morpheus which has dropped my temps massively on my GPU and silenced my system beautifully.....until my chipset hits 75 degrees and the little fan is whining away. By far the loudest part of my system, agh!

Have you considered to put a piece of paper to the side of the Morpheus to cover the hot air going directly to the SB?
