FRONTPAGE ASRock X870E Taichi Lite Motherboard Review

[Overclockers.com]

As I promised a few days ago, we are back with the X870E Taichi Lite, designed to be a more wallet-friendly version of the Taichi motherboard. It is focused more on pure performance than additional features. The Lite version is still well-equipped, but I will tell you all about it in our article.

ASRock has been doing a great job stuffing the kitchen sink in and not being outlandish with pricing.

Great review, per usual, Woomack!

ASRock is my "go to" MB.

AsRock has been great choice since Abit left. I switched to them after the first gen i7. Never gone back or regretted my choice. I keep hoping to see a X870/X870E in a MATX format. Woomack, think you can find out?

There should be mATX/ITX options with lower chipsets, as right now, there are only X870/E, and the highest option uses two dies that would be hard to install on a small PCB. However, I don't have the list of upcoming motherboards. They should be listed in 1-2 weeks (probably announced at CES).
I'm in touch with ASRock, and they were happy about the last reviews, so I guess we will see something from them in the upcoming weeks.

I just wish they would do better with their inventory. I was not able to get any ASRock board during the Black Friday "sales".

Maybe they just sell so well. ASRock prices in this generation are significantly lower (AMD X870/E and Intel Z890 mobos) than those of other brands with similar specs. A week after release, I saw them in every large store in the EU. My local store had almost the whole line available, and they usually skip top models because they don't sell well. I can't tell for the US, but it highly depends on the distributors in each area.

sounds like the die/chip it self is that large it will not fit on a smaller FF board. It would still be a big seller on smaller boards if it would fit. I just looked seeing they have more 8x0's coming out. At first just looking at newegg i thought it was either B6x0 or just x870, lol.
