Sure, let’s dive into this whole ASRock motherboard saga from Computex. It’s a bit of a bumpy ride, so hang tight.
So, you stroll up to the ASRock booth and bam! There’s the X870E Taichi OCF, glimmering like a techie’s dream come true. Motherboards, man, they’re like the unsung heroes of our gigabyte-loving lives. This one’s packing some heavy muscle with those 25 VRM designs and 110A SPS stages. And if you’re into overclocking, this bad boy might just make your heart skip a beat.
Here’s the thing – ASRock tossed their Taichi OCF onto the AMD AM5 scene. They’ve kept things pretty wild with a 25-Phase design and dual 8-pin connectors. Oh, and there’s something about 9000 MT/s speeds for those DDR5 DIMMs. Crazy, right? I didn’t even know DDR5 could go that fast.
I/O options? Uh, it’s like diving into a toy box full of PCIe slots — some Gen5, some Gen4, and a Gen3x4 just because, why not? The whole thing is a smorgasbord of USB ports; got USB4, USB 3.2 this and that — my brain almost cramped trying to count them all up. Plus, with that 5 GbE LAN and WiFi7, we’re talking high-speed everything.
And just when you’re wrapping your head around that, they bring the heat with a Taichi Creator… in gold and black, no less. Looks sharp, but chunky in a good way with its 21 Phase 80A design and enough USB ports to power a small spaceship.
Then, there’s the X870 NOVA WIFI. Kind of like the X870E’s chill cousin — similar vibes but with a more palatable price tag. We’re looking at a $250-$300 ballpark – affordable glory for those AM5 fans.
Last bit, just as your head’s spinning from all these tech specs, ASRock hits you with the A620AI WIFI. A compact Mini-ITX with a lot of heart. It’s got that fresh 11-phase 80A VRM layout and, they say, it’s affordable. Around a hundred bucks? Pocket change in the motherboard world, right?
So there you go — a chaotic slice of motherboard paradise straight from Computex. Whether you’re building mega-machines or just geeking out, ASRock seems pretty keen on having something for everyone.
