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

So... regarding the cheap Taichi.
It's very very odd for an online company to take payment before shipping. They actually leave themselves wide open to being sued operating this way.

Distance selling regs state:

"You can sell and take the payment before you have the item. However, if you fail to acquire and deliver the item or otherwise fail to fulfill the order then you are in breach of contract. If you fail to deliver on a consumer sale within 30 days (or later period as agreed) then you breach the DSR (Distance Selling Regs). If you have no proper terms you could be sued for all losses arising from the breach not just the return of the purchase monies."

I have checked said companies terms of contact and there is nothing specific to cover this issue. So if they don't deliver with 30 days after taking payment then they are in breach of DSR and can easily be sued. Not just for the value of the item. This is the very reason 99.9% of online retailers take payment when shipping. Seems really daft to leave yourself wide open like that. Meanwhile they are earning interest on my money while they haven't actually sent me any goods. Not on.

Another good reason to go with OCUK over their main UK competitor to be honest.

As far I'm aware OCUK take payment straight away? If they can get any decent interest on my £242 in a week or two good luck to them, I know I can't:) Someone said they were told it was a short launch promotion with Asrock. They must have had a lot of orders, not surprised they ran out of stock. Another huge retailer are quoting a few weeks until stock.

The upside to OCUK is that they get stock early but you have to sometimes pay for it. I'm happy to wait, at least there might be some BIOS updates by the time I get to build it!

There are definitely more (much needed) bios updates coming, I updated mine when it arrived yesterday and there was already a new one available today
 
Thinking of cancelling my Taichi misprice. The Aorus Elite has the same VRM just about and is £210 plus you get £30 steam vouchers with their promotion.

I could live without the third M2 slot and I dont use wifi. Is there anything else I'd lose?

The opportunity to flip it and buy the other board with money to spare ;)
 
I've got the taichi but couldn't put my GPU in the top slot anyway due to the front panel USB-C connector. It doesn't sit flush on the motherboard with the lower board cover and is parallel with the first slot meaning the card can't push it all the way.

So now it's on the second slot and covers the power/reset switches and diagnostic led :-/
