​@@LprogressivesANDliberals you probably liked white and look of the nzxt rebranded asrock boards but if you didn't care about looks or color you could have got a B650E taichi lite board for less and a few extra features which you may or may not need

I wonder who is in charge of the design on Asrock... the more budget motherboards seems to be made with a white pcb and more color coordinate than the top line taichi...

Unless there is going to a change in the madness and a real mobo arrives which i WANT and/or NEED No bling, nvme 4x5 slots at least 2 or 3 and a single PCIe 5 x8 gpu slot the rest can be just 4x4 because the adding cards i use run on PCIe 3 The rest is garbage but i do want alot of REAL - USB4 connectors al least 6 as i have high speeds wearables who are capable to run up to 40 Gbit/s although most are still 10 and 20 because of non existing makers of high speed thumb drives, (which probably will stay that way for the coming 10 years is my guess)

TBF I do think that you sleep on the sound chips on these boards, lot of mid to low end set ups for audio with no shielding or Anti pop. HAD to get a Z690 Unify to get a solid sound chip.

[@pseudonym5872]

Wow ... ASRock going bananas with the VRM phases! My one and only experience with ASRock boards was the ThreadRipper 1950X and Taichi I got on release. Great board; very stable. It just sucked that we couldn't do anything with overclocking the CPU due to the CPU itself. Since then I've had ASUS and Gigabyte boards, but I might have to return to ASRock for my switch back to AMD...

[@beRezeh]

Been using riptide and steel legend B550 and love it. Those new boards are aesthetically pleasing, especially that nova.

[@dreamEnd]

Last gen, PCIe releases seems to be a feature that exclusively only exists for Aorus and high end ROG boards. But now I'm glad to see even ASrock started to implement it on their mid-high end boards. Even MSI put it for their MAG (lower tier) boards on their X870 Tomahawk sneak peak. I hope this becomes the standard for future boards. QoL should be accessible for everybody. I hope that Nova stays to be the value king just like with Z790, and damn X870 Nova looks really beautiful. I have high hopes for Nova boards, I really love the aesthetics. Can't wait to see Nova Z890 in the future. They probably use the same design, but who knows. 😁

[@pkpnyt4711]

I wish you showed some ITX if any from the X870/E motherboards.

I love my Taichi, maybe I get the proper 870E when it comes out.

[@thedeejlam]

Nope, no way, Jose -- not with just a single extra PCIe slot and no 10GbE option built in to make up for some of that lost connectivity. At least Gigabyte did it right (not sure about anything upcoming) where we usually saw two PCIe slots at the bottom of its ATX boards, which left just the right room for those monster GPUs.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Have a Pro RS, B760M really that line impressed me with value, was around 99 and tax for a nice board, similar features gen5 etc. I could see these X870 in a rig tbh. I like the white/silver aesthetic also though that's minor. That row is looking good aesthetically. Realtek audio think that's better, honestly my 9th gen Z390 PG ITX-AC was also Asrock, have had a good run with them.

[@ForzaE2]

Only expensive one has "error display" if I didn't miss it. It's kinda sad tbh.

[@Ninjutsu2K]

how a motherboard with 5 nvme slots will still have pcie lanes left for the rest of hardware like processor and gpu card?

[@betag24cn]

some will be sata, some will be using only two lanes when fully populated or main pcu expresd migth work at 8x, also the chipset will handle some to help in some way, this is slow

[@urosorlovic11]

9000 Cpus come with dedicated 28 pci-e 5.0 lanes 16 for gpu, rest m.2, some connect to chipset . Then on the motherboard side, you got a chipset (additional chip) running io , wifi 7 and lan is a separate chip, as well as usb 4.0. Lanes of pci-e also got faster so there is more bandwidth for everything, nova has two protomontory 21 chipset chips on the 870e board

[@jangelelcangry]

X570 is good if you want to have an additional GPU for an Xp VM. If only X870 had an extra X16 (or at least X8) slot.

[@bronanu201]

lol a X16 slot is a X8 slot consumer boards do not need X16, never ever are they X16 only the server boards house them when they have special cards as far as i know there is not one single gpu who uses X16 on all it lanes, again besides server boards. It would not even surprise me if the lanes are actually not being connected on the boards at all. But destroying boards to check is not my cup of tea xD, to be blunt it is again just to sell something people like to see and are a good way to pump up prices Consumers in most cases are being fooled alot like the insane VRM nonsense they make more and more this sell trick but it actually means nothing just garbage The serverboard gpu cards are often used for insane fast calculation and do not even have a exit for graphics on them they are made solo to calc insane fast

If Asus and friends stop using auto overclock BS it will gain trust again but when i look at what garbage all are going to release i bet many will not switch to a little improvement but lacking many options motherboards but i hope later there will be good motherboards which will have what i want till that time NO BUY for me. I rather skip 20 releases before i buy garbage for super high prices as it is absolute not worth buying

I have a Taichi intel motherboard currently. I really like it. Too bad the new x870 from asrock doesn't have more slots as I'm ready to build a new PC and need a slot for my raid and quad port 10gb nic.

[@TheRikardo91]

These look nice. But just to see if I'm getting this right. These new B850(E) and X870(E) motherboard for AM5 should also be compatible with the current gen Zen 4 CPU's like the Ryzen 7 7800x3D right? I'm asking because I have a 7800x3D on a Gigabyte B650E Aorus Master and this motherboard have been giving me some headaches with EXPO and RAM stability. Been also getting weird hands when my PC either wakes from suspension or reboots. My PC seems stable besides this annoying issue right now so I think I'm going to hold off until September to see what ASRock, MSI and Asus will be putting out.

[@urosorlovic11]

Yes, it's a drop in upgrade. Just install it and it just works off the bat. Newer bioses might fix some of your problems. I wouldn't change the whole motherboard because of it. You won't see a speed improvement, aldough stability might be more important to you ...still need a bunch of tests with different hardware. Taichi lite b650e similar problems

[@AmirAl-Haque]

Wanted to get an r9 7900 non x, but i don't want to get into instability, and slow boot and two ram sticks only. Waiting to see if x870, b850 solves it.

I'll wait for B850, if it is available & reasonable priced. Otherwise, will wait for Zen 6 or look forward next gen Intel CPU which gives up hyperthreading.
