ASRock X670E Taichi Motherboard Review

 

Installation

For our installation, we used the Thermaltake Tower 500 chassis. It’s a fairly large box-shaped chassis so mounting the ASRock X670E Taichi motherboard shouldn’t be an issue. Everything fitted nicely and there was plenty of room in and around the AM5 processor socket. I love the slots/holes along the edge of the motherboard backplate of the chassis … it makes cable management a dream.

ASRock X670E Taichi

One thing to bare in mind … please check the size of your chassis and make sure it supports E-ATX motherboards, beacuse ASRock X670E Taichi has a E-ATX form factor which is slightly larger than your standard full-size ATX.

 

BIOS

The BIOS on the ASRock X670E Taichi is pretty easy to use. The 1st page you’ll see the default “Easy Mode” where you can monitor all the system status on this page. Since our DDR5 ram was not EXPO certified, we we not able to run the ram at the full speed of DDR5-6000. So instead, during our tests we left everything on AUTO/Default, however I did increase the memory speed to a maximum/limit of DDR5-5400.

If you select “Advanced Mode”, you’ll then see all the other options available for tweaking your processor, memory and more. Voltages for memory and processor can also be adjusted here .

The advanced tab allows users to configure settings for CPU, chipset, storage and NVMe, LEDs, as well as onboard devices such as LAN, audio, and Bluetooth. For overclockers, the BIOS allows CPU and memory overclocking, and you can also set the CPU frequency and voltages too.

For memory compatibility and QVL (qualified vendors list), I recommend you check ASRock’s QVL page here.
