Great to see the X870E Taichi UEFI Overview! Very informative! More of these videos should be done in depth. With your expert knowledge, the information can be gleaned by the viewer that can't be found anywhere else on YT! You may not understand how helpful it really is to so many... even we who have been building for decades because we don't have a friend with this kind of knowledge who can share with us... we have to do it on our own.
Went with this board largely based on your videos and recommendation! First ever AMD build for me, so I'm loving the detailed breakdowns and knowledge being shared. Great stuff.
какую оперативную память ты себе поставил? я себе её заказал, скоро приедет мой заказ, но буду ставить процессор 9800X3D, теперь думаю по поводу оперативной памяти
That Video was 🙂👍very nice, thanks for the overview, I think there should be a lot more of these videos. Even for me, with almost 3 decades as a PC builder / gamer, it was still quite interesting and informative, especially because I will now be using an ASROCK board for the first time for my AM5 9800X3D build. Previously I only had Asus boards and two MSIs over the years. But I'm now done with Asus once and for all. In my opinion, they are now completely disconnected from reality. And with all of their ROG boards in increasingly lighter, stripped-down versions at absolutely outrageous prices🤬. Normally I wanted to use exactly this board, only in the Taichi Lite version. But then I decided on the X870 Steel Legend. If my first ASROCK experience is positive, I won't rule out a quick upgrade, I know that when it comes to motherboards, I'm someone who likes to spend hours tweaking. And flagship motherboards are simply great for exactly this purpose.
Broooo thank you so much for this vid i totally missed the performance presets thing.I went to --20 tj 85 nd max temp full load went down from 85 to 76 and cinebench score went up with 200 points Sub + 1
Just what I'm looking for, wish I found this earlier. Looking to buy a new x870 board have been time consuming to say the least. Since I've been using Asus for 20 years I was leaning towards the Crosshair x870e, but not so sure anymore with the shared pci-lanes on both m2 and second pci-slot. Both the Taichi and Nova x870e's , as I understand it, doesn't have this and in that case suites me better using pci soundcard (correct me if I'm wrong please). Guess it's time to change brand, finally. Please keep this kind of videos comming! Very good for us in search/research of new mb's. Thanks! You've got a new subscriber, and I think more will follow if you keep doing this :)
i just got the taichi light with 9950x and coming from using asus apex boards for years the asrock bios looks so much more clear and doesn't have weird renaming going on, it kinda reminds me of evga bios that i had way back on z490 dark kingpin
Considering the light version for my new build so this was very useful, thank you. I would have liked to hear some comments on how difficult it was to make 8000MHz work, your conciderations on going for a 8000 set (as opposed to 8200 or 8400), and a discussion of why you chose 8000 (did higher clocks fail?). But at least I got to gleam your primary timings which is helpful in itself if I choose to go for this board. Thanks again
I saw somewhere that the RAM for the AMD CPUs are only reliable when using only two sticks. Using 4 sticks causes problems. I think it’s related to EXPO mode and the default JEDEC. ???
@@pcartisan2721 Yeah, I've figured this out since. What is important for gaming is that 8000Mhz+ for AMD doesn't provoide you 32GB per stick, only 24. There are games now that benefit from 64GB of system RAM in addition to high amounts of GPU-memory. That means 6000-6400MHz are the better options for AMD systems right now regardless of how far beyond 8000MHz you manage to push your silicon.
I've set my 9950x to "PBO. Tjmax = 65°C and Curve Optimizer -20mv" for now with the x870E Tachi. I don't like components getting hotter than 70°C, and plus I sweat quite easily - so I would rather a cooler room. The CPU reaches around 5.1-5.2Ghz at 100% Load with this setting. I'm not sure if -40mV will be stable. Kinda worried about my AMD GPU driver crashing in DirectX 12 due to the CPU being undervolted too much, which was a big problem on my MSI x570 Unify w/5950x.
Как думаете, такой комплект оперативной памяти, как у вас, запустится на ASRock x870E Nova? Скоро получу её на руки, так же поставлю процессор 9800 X3d.
Question about your tier list video with the x870e boards. How come some people refer the asrock x870e nova as a S tier board where the x870e taichi board is considered A tier? Is there something the nova has over the taichi besides a pcie x1 slot and an extra gen 3 m.2? I’d just like to know why people are going out of their way to buy out these nova’s and flip them for profit.
He rated the Nova S+ based on value/features. IMO the Taichi Lite is the best x870e mobo on the market for features and price. It's a slightly better board than the Nova IMO.
Unfortunately, I don't have that motherboard on-hand so I won't be able to cover it. However, the bios will be very similar to the Taichi. It might be missing the BCLK though.
i would like to see ddr5 8400 mhz, fclk 2100 uclk 2100 and mclk 4200, on these boards... asus claims on the x870i strix that they support up to 8400 mhz ram with ryzen 9000
I have a question and hope someone can help me here. I have the x870e nova board with 64gb ram. However I only see 40gb allocated in memory and the rest 24 as shared gpu memory in task manager. How do I go ahead and disable this and get full memory. I have a 2080 super graphics card. Thanks!
Hi I have a question for you Game Tech Reviews, do you think that MSI will release the ACE model this year or not?, and do you think that MSI will surprise people and there will be no sharing of PCIE lines on NVME drive slots?, I ask because I do not know whether to wait until the end of the year to buy a motherboard for the new PC, because I think to buy now ASROCK X890E Taichi or wait for MSI ACE, I have a little conundrum😉.
If it comes out, it would be in a 2nd wave of revised boards next year. MSI is the only motherboard vendor that has taken an interesting approach of sharing the lanes between the ASM4242 and a 2nd Gen 5 M.2. Everyone didn't bother doing that so they could do something similar in the future.
@@GameTechReviews good something in it, I also think that it will not come out this year, but I had to make sure, so long I'm not likely to wait and so I waited too long to assemble the computer, so I'll rather fall on Taichi.Thanks👍
Thanks for this review , I bought the Nova but looking at this board I should bought the Taichi.Why yo cpu temp on the 9700X is so high on Idle, mine 7900X on idle stay at 39 degrees with a 360 AIO

So does 8000mt/s run ycruncher vt3 stable with just xmp? If so that’s promising for higher ram speeds of 8200-8400 with a good IMC bin & manual tweaking
I am planning on getting this motherboard for new build? Can you someone please tell me where is the Power Down Mode Enable for faster boot times? Is it in Bios > Advanced > AMD CBS > UMC Options > DDR Options? Please advise.
See 9:07 in the video. To enable/disable power down mode (i.e., Deep Sleep) on an ASRock motherboard: Press F2 or Del during POST to enter BIOS setup Select the Advanced menu Enter the ACPI Configuration Deep Sleep (S5) is the 3rd one down Power down mode temporarily turns off a device to save power.
It may seem that way on the surface, but actually their BIOS is simple and straightforward, which is a welcomed relief from others. It has functions grouped together that are used together instead of spreading them all over the place... and that's just one of its many advantages.
Well you should try one of the laggy gigabyte bioses. Speaking from my own experience with B550 board. New X870/E have the same problems. This look so responsive and logically structured I really can't wait for my Nova board to arrive. Great video btw. It is like comparing flashy but useless RGB fan with no performance with no RGB fan aimed for it.
