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

[drunkenmaster]

From what's being said elsewhere by people who picked boards up yesterday, Taichi and the Gigabyte board have whiny horribly noisy chipset fans that don't seem to turn off, nor cool down enough to run slowly. Asus chipset fan is supposedly also loud.

Alas, dissapointing we are now where the £ price is more than the $..
I mean wtf.

It's been this way for years, and UK consumers get shafted every single time.

I'll be amazed if the chipset fan is on when not specifically needed. No reviewers have mentioned this

We have a final production sample Taichi that 8 Pack has being hammering and we've noticed no issues with the fan, plus the fan is typically not spinning unless under heavy loads and even then it seems pretty damn silent to my ears.

Also i think 8 Pack and Gibbo would recommend this ram as well,

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/= £158.99

Total: £167.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)
​

Don't slap me if you don't ha.

I have heard/read 8 Pack likes the Taichi motherboard though from his testing where he wants to know first hand how well the motherboard works then have someone tell him how it works.

Yes and this:

Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/ @ £134.99 inc VAT https://www.overclockers.co.uk/Team...3200MHz-Dual-Channel-Kit-Black-MY-08L-TG.html



TDPGD416G3200HC14ADC01, 3200MHz RAM Speed, CAS 14-14-14-31 Timings, 1.20-1.40v VDIMM, Samsung B-Die, Ideal for 3rd gen Ryzen, Lifetime Warranty with OcUK.



Only £134.99 inc VAT.

They use same screened Samsung B-Die so are both pretty much capable of 3200-3600MHz with timings between 14-16, as with all things its luck of draw but we've had the 3200 and 3600 kits running 3600MHz 14-14-14-28-1T in the X570 Taichi, as such both kits seem to get same results, no doubt because they come from same bin and use identical IC and same cooler.

Of course you could just grab some regular Corsair Vengeance 3200 16-18-18-36 for £80 from OcUK and save money, but these use a lesser quality IC and if you enjoy the memory tuning or want the tighter timings then of course Samsung always delivers, as to real world performance well there is not a huge difference in fairness but that is another can of worms, if your like me and typically want the best setup then for me its simple, 3900X, Taichi, 8 Pack 3200/3600 RAM and a Corsair or Aorus Gen4 SSD.

The temptation is sooooo real right now to upgrde my 1700, and i will just need to wait for the right time to pull the trigger

I would buy your recommendations but have no need as i already have a capable motherboard the Gigabyte X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI but i did buy the 8 pack ram 3600mhz and some mx 4 thermal paste for the processor and will be buying the 3700x or 3800x from overclockers uk, as i am loyal customer heh.

So yeah this is excellent advise from both 8 pack and Gibbo on what to get as they spend a lot of time testing and the like from the professionals them self's, also 8 pack is a legend in the overclocking scene.

noisy fan on the X570 Taichi needs to be manually turned down according to this review. It depends on your definition of noisy though. @Gibbo can you comment?

Why don't poeple just wait for proper reviews and testing?

Buy on day 1, you've no idea what you're getting and you get gouged for the privelage.

Apparently the fan only comes on when needed and so it may not be on all the time

Several boards have always on fans currently. X570 Taichi is one. Hopefully will be fixed ASAP.

This is one of the issues, testing in an open bench vs testing in a case with multiple sata/power cables around the chipset area, the chipset blocked by a gpu, etc.

Also if you're sitting at home in a quiet room where noise is noticeable vs in a larger workspace with loads of other noises going on, maybe a nice AC cooled area, or with multiple computers all adding to a general background drone then a single fan noise gets lost.

Back in the day when I would have multiple open bench systems going testing parts in an RMA department it was just a constant drone, what counts as quiet there vs at home where the computer is literally the only noise going on is totally incomparable.

This was the first video I've watched that stated for Ryzen 3000, no need for a board fan.
Now I'm wondering, why no decent size heatsink on the chipset vs a fan.

It would interfere with long cards in the lower PCI-E slots, does seem lazy though.

Remember the old days of using:

Maybe, probably aye.

Well for me I did not find the fan noisy, but if one does and it can be controlled manually surely that is the solution.
