    Pros: – 16 power phase – USB C header for case – Tough Aluminum heatsink – Nichicon caps Cons: – None so far Overall Review: This review is for ASRock review rebate program. I just received it and just got it all setup. So far so good. I was due for a new computer build and this is the mobo that I decided on.

    Pros: This is way more board than i even know what to do with. But i only build once every 5-10 years, so this beast will last me. Very Sturdy and rigid! Was never one for RGB lights, but now its very cool how they glow Plenty of fan ports throughout USB-C front port is a nice upgrade from my old mobo without me OCing, the A-Tuning already has my Ryzen 5 3600 running at 4.0 paired beautifully with my Taichi OC+ GPU, self boosting to 1990+ VRM works beyond belief mobo never hotter than 35C…

    Cons: – Overall Review: The B550 Taichi is an excellent board with a lot of premium features within its bios, interface, etc. Chipset thermals are really good, hovering about 35 C idle and 60-70 C under load. This board definitely competes (if not, on par) with its X570 counterpart, and delivers solid performance. It also has great lighting and overall a nice board aesthetic. However, ever since I upgraded to this motherboard, my system would constantly reboot itself and not boot unless I do…

    Pros: -Beautiful design -High end features Overall Review: Just received my b550 taichi motherboard just in time for my new pc build and to submit my review to get my rebate submitted. After reviewing both this and the x570 Taichi I’m glad I decided to go with this B550. Yes both are almost identical in cost but I felt like this motherboard had more to offer in terms of features. “This review for ASRock review rebate program.”

    Pros: Metal pcie slots 2.5gb ethernet/ wifi Rgb Pcie 4.0 nvme Heavy overclocking support (thich pcb layers, 16 phases, 2 cpu connectors) Cons: Motherboard bios a bit unintuitive for overclocking, but not terrible. Overall Review: Nice, quality motherboard. It has everything most users will need and a bunch of nice to haves. I love the metal pcie slots, they were needed for the extremely heavy rtx 3090 in my machine. Pcie 4.0 on nvme is definatley neat. A bunch of the other features I will…

    Pros: Has all the features you’re looking for in a higher end MOBO Easy to navigate BIOS Enough said Cons: None really Overall Review: Solid MOBO. Had to buy a new AMD CPU, but that was such a small gripe I couldn’t put it in the cons section. I havent found anything wrong at all. Never owned an ASRock MOBO (usually stick with ASUS and Gigabyte) and I can say I really like the build they put together here and I can honestly say they have made me a fan of their products.

  7. Hoan L.

    Pros: +Out of the box looks and feels very sturdy and heavy. +It has enough fan/argb/rgb/usb 2.0/3.0 headers for your needs. +Nice added RGB can be configured via app. +It has tons of features: Wifi-6, Bios flash button, etc. Cons: None Overall Review: Upon receiving the product, the box was significantly bigger than my previous motherboard’s box. This is an upgrade from the MSI B550 Gaming Edge Wifi. And it looks so much more sleek and pretty. I bought this one on sale and it was not ready…

  8. Anonymous

    Pros: – Came in good condition – Works as advertised Cons: Default settings seem like they’re for an older generation. – Safe boot enabled – Secure boot disabled – TPM (required for windows 11) disabled and required BIOS update to enable The instructions & design to enable TPM were pretty straightforward, but even after enabling in the BIOS windows still didn’t recognize it, and I spent ~3 hours trying to google/debug. I never did figure out the root problem, but a reddit thread suggested…
