ASRock X399 Taichi (Ryzen Threadripper) Motherboard Review

Test Setup

For our tests, we used a test rig which includes the ASRock X399 Taichi motherboard, along with a Ryzen Threadripper 1950X at default clock speed of 3.4 GHz (boost speed 4.0GHz), as well as 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000 ram in quad channel mode.

All tests were conducted using AUTO settings in the BIOS. Monitor resolution was set to 1920×1080, with High or Ultra settings enabled.

Note: We’ve tested the board with several DDR4 memory modules and we failed to enabled XMP profiles. It could be a BIOS issue or may be my ram isn’t compatible with the board. In the end, we conducted the tests at default DDR4-2133. We recommend to check the QVL to find out which memory is compatible with this board.

Idle Temps

Idle temperature looks really good at around 33 degrees Celsius. Must be cooler on that day 😉 

 

Load Temps

Load temps was pretty low too with temperatures hovering around 49 degree Celsius.

With such high temperatures, we recommend that you invest in a very good CPU cooler. Getting an all-in-one liquid cooler (AIO) is highly recommended. I think air coolers are not up to the job.
