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

[roysters]

I been using a spare 1080ti FE and these things get spicy! No problems though. Although it did get hot! Then again. The card runs at 80c so...

I wacked a hybrid AIO kit on it and whole thing is generally much cooler. I'm going to cool watercool the whole things soon so won't be a factor anyway.

 

[thewiredsoul]

Yeah maybe watercooling GPU or vertical mount is the right thing to do, or buy an aorus master.

 

[Mean Mr Mustard]

So nobody has been having issues with it getting hot enough to shutdown the machine with a long GFX installed? Just curious cause i like the price point of this MB (want the 3 pcie slots for VM work) and that was a concern i saw pop up in some other communities comments.

No, but it was hotter than I would have liked. Apparently the SB chip on these Asrock boards has TJMax of 105C (not confirmed but I saw it in a YT video, and didn't experience any shutdowns when heading towards 90C before I fixed it). If you do get one make sure you check the SB heatsink is secured properly to the board.

I've just bought this motherboard elsewhere at a reduced price. Now I just need to decide on case, Air cooler and CPU. Part of me is saying to just go all out on the CPU now so it lasts longer between upgrades or go with a 3700X now and look at changing with Ryzen 4xxx.

 

[michty_me]

Was the reports of overheating from the board a fairly isolated case? Did they ever get to the bottom of it?
I've not had a new motherboard in quite a few years so I'm hoping BIOS layouts have improved. I don't tend to spend much time in the BIOS anyway but ease of use is beneficial for me.

If you’re mainly gaming then 3700X now then something with greater single thread performance next year seems a smart move.

 

[michty_me]

This could very well be the route I go actually. It is either the 3700X or all out on the 3900X.

 

[beany_bot]

If you’re mainly gaming then 3700X now then something with greater single thread performance next year seems a smart move.

Exactly my plan.

 

[michty_me]

Exactly my plan.

Hmm guess I better make a decision soon seeing as I have the majority of stuff.

 

[michty_me]

I decided just to cancel for now and wait it out a bit longer until BIOS updates become more stable and prices settle a bit.

 

[Nghtmare]

Im I the only one that cant get the BIOS HD version to work? I have a 1440p monitor and a 1080ti connected via DP.

 

[Thekwango]

I decided just to cancel for now and wait it out a bit longer until BIOS updates become more stable and prices settle a bit.

a voice of reason in a sea of insanity

you know what'll happen though don't you, you'll wait and wait then think - hmmm, might as go for the 3950x

Haha well that could happen!!
It just did when I was looking for a 1050 laptop. I've gone for a 1070 equipped one instead

I think I would feel happier once the new components has been out in the wild a few months. That allows all the more 'in the know' people on here to suss out issues and hopefully be able to assist if I get something wrong.

 

[Minstadave]

Anyone know the best settings to let the CPU boost? PBO and auto overclocking seem to both boost to about the same, neither hits 4.4.

A selection of many great parts, all suitable for building a power house of a machine with an 8 core 16 threaded processor for not huge money with CPU's such as 2700X and 3700X, then with 16Gb memory kits from £60, B450 mainboards for not much more money, of course those wanting to build a more performance orientated gaming machine and content machine can look at the X570 boards, 3200/3600 memory kits and say a Radeon 5700 XT which represent truly the best value for money gaming experience, or even consider the still exceptional value for money part the VEGA 56.


P.S. All the above parts are in stock!

Wow, I really wish I had waited now, not even two weeks later and price drops. Not happy!

Oh man, I just cancelled a x570 Taichi deal earlier. Might reorder now

I dont really see the benefit of the Taichi over the Aorus Elite, unless you need wifi I guess.

If I hadn't got the cheap Taichi I'd definitely save money and take the Elite over the Taichi.

I don't need Wifi at all as I recently hard wired my house. I've been considering the Auros elite but was concerned about the 16Mb bios memory compared to everyones 32Mb

 

[Minstadave]

On the X570? I'd never seen that mentioned.
