Don't use PBO. Basically use nothing if you want the CPU to boost properly.

How do I ensure PBO is off on this board?

It in AMD overclocking in the advanced menu.

Hmm, i seem to get better scores and no problem with boosting with PBO turned ON/

Looks like the one

Have you use DRAM calculator and set it correctly on speed, ranks & modules? If so could you upload here the screenshot please?

Tried now, safe preset gives silly aggressive timings. CL14 and 1T for 4x16GB at 3800mhz.

Oddly fast preset is a lot slacker:

I'm just using the R-XMP function instead of importing from Typhoon, is that step neccessary?

Just generated super safe values using the V2 preset for 1800mhz and it's running nicely.

Getting my best R20 scores too, 4852 multi and 495 single.

You have selected the wrong CPU. You need to pick the Zen 2 one not Ryzen 2

Minstadave · 22 Sep 2019 at 18:46

I've got Ryzen 1, Ryzen + and Ryzen 2nd Gen as options.

Updated to 1.6.2 and its the same, Ryzen 2nd Gen is the 3xxx series.

Timings seem a little different though with the newer version, especially that mad CAS14 3800mhz is now far more sensible.

Tweaked to 16-16-17-16 at 3600mhz which seems to be close enough to the sweet spot.

Now 3733mhz at CAS16 with IF at 1:1, 3800 is no a go still, think that’s a hardware limit. Breaking 500 single threaded in R20 now!

Hi first time on here can any one post a photo of the X570 Taichi old and new version R1.06.
Regarding the 3.2 type c header
That be great

It was on the Asrock Taichi page and you could toggle both revisions it but it was only up for one day. Basically, all they did was rotate the header by 90 degrees

Try these but set the ram at 1.458 first before 1.46.

I'll give them a whirl next time I'm free. Pretty happy with the progress from 3200mhz to 3733mhz so far! Boosting nicely on the ABBA bios too.

Panos · 9 Oct 2019 at 19:06

How's everyone's Taichi these days? Since last week the fan started grinding when the system is powering up until the boost screen appears.
Others having the motherboard a few weeks more than me, are reporting on reddit the issue progresses to full time fan grinding.

I said from day one those annoying little fans would be an Achilles heel in the motherboard design.

I will remove the fan sticker and use a drop of WD40 to it see how it goes.

Minstadave · 9 Oct 2019 at 19:19

Mine is doing ok, the ABBA bios has been solid.

The chipset fan is still the noisiest thing in my system, especially when gaming. I’ll prob switch it out is X670 has a passive chipset.

I’d just get ASRock to swap it out rather than meddle with it and give them an excuse to not honour the warranty. They’ll prob send out a replacement fan.

Generally that's not considered a good idea, as the solvent tends to dissolve whatever specialist lubricant that's in there, and may just help dust to stick and grind around in there. Fans normally need something like a lithium grease that's designed to deal with hot temps and last a long time.

WD 40 will give a short-term respite, but it's not a fix. They should have used something with a liquid bearing and offset the fan so the centre (that isn't pushing air) isn't over the hottest part of the chip. It's amazing to me how they tout their ball bearing fans as if they haven't gone with the cheap option to save a few pennies.
