++++ The ASRock Z790 Taichi motherboard is available for approx. 530 Euro (01/2023) and is thus in the upper-price segment of Intel LGA 1700 motherboards.
The ASRock Z790 Taichi is also available as ASRock Z790 Taichi Carrara version. By the way, this has nothing to do with Carrera 😉 but is called ASRock Carrara, since the Taichi Carrara, in contrast to the tested Taichi, is not delivered in a dark design, but in a bright Carrara marble look – thus optimal for white cases.
The Intel LGA 1700 DDR5 ATX motherboard has a fantastic basic equipment with USB 4.0 Thunderbolt ports up to 2.5 Gigabit LAN at the I/O panel including addressable ARGB lighting, which is already integrated in the I/O panel, in the chipset and under the M.2 cooler. Furthermore, it can overclock current Intel LGA1700 processors of the 12th and 13th generation excellently!
As a basic configuration, the Z790 Taichi motherboard offers a total of three PCI Express slots, a total of eight SATA3 ports, four fast Hyper M.2 64Gb/s slots and one Blazing M.2 128Gb/s slot, one M.2 2230 slot with pre-installed WIFI/BT module, two USB 4.0 Thunderbolt Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, up to ten possible USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, an additional USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C front panel port, up to six possible USB 2.0 ports, a 2.5 Gigabit LAN port, one 1 Gigabit LAN port, analog sound output via two jack sockets, digital sound output via optical S/PDIF, four DDR5 slots, ASRock A-Tuning software also for controlling the fans in Windows, ASRock Polychrome Sync RGB for addressable RGB LED lighting and much more.
The ASRock Z790 Taichi motherboard is the first-class choice for overclockers due to the Intel Z790 chipset and has an enormously strong SPS power supply. In addition, the stylish ASRock Z790 Taichi motherboard has a fantastic basic equipment and convinces with an enormous amount of USB ports up to the fast USB 4.0 Thunderbolt as well as the high-performance 2.5 Gigabit LAN port and a lot of fast M.2 slots. We would have only wished for the usual five jack sockets in the sound ports, although many users now use sound solutions via USB anyway.
