ASRock B650E Taichi

A large-sized advanced motherboard with advanced circuit design, an advanced power system, additional cooling of key power zones and a stylish printed circuit board design in black and gold colors. It is a representative of the advanced Taichi line from ASRock, aimed at experienced gamers and overclocking enthusiasts, designed to directly compete with top-end boards from Asus ROG, Gigabyte Aorus and MSI MEG.

Designed for ultimate gaming builds and Hi-End class work systems with record-breakingly powerful consumer processors of the Ryzen 9 7900X level, professional video cards of the GeForce RTX 4090 caliber and a gigantic amount of DDR5 RAM. The ASRock B650E Taichi is made in a gigantic E-ATX form factor, which will not fit in every case, which is worth considering when choosing.

Despite the use of simpler system logic B650E instead of X670E, the model looks extremely serious even compared to the most popular motherboards costing $500-700. The main features of the device include a 27-phase VRM unit for VCore+GT voltage, circuitry based on heat-resistant Japanese Nichicon capacitors, widespread integration of the PCI Express 5.0 interface, a premium audio path and a wide range of connection interfaces, including high-speed USB4.

ASRock B650E Taichi supports the installation of four DDR5 RAM modules with a maximum frequency of 7200 MHz (maximum capacity - 192 GB). The layout of the slots allows you to assemble a serious disk array using up to three high-speed M.2 SSDs (PCI-E 4.0/5.0 bus) and four standard HDD/SSD drives with a SATA3 connector. A specialized Killer E3100G network controller with a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port and a built-in Wi-Fi 6E wireless receiver is responsible for processing game traffic. For high-quality sound output, an 8-channel Realtek ALC4082 audio subsystem with a Hi-Fi class DAC and an ESS SABRE9218 amplifier is used. In addition, the board stands out for its modern visual design, a large number of connectors for LED strips and water pumps, and a steel connector that prevents possible deformation of the heavy and massive video card.
