The ASRock Z690 Taichi motherboard is designed to host 12th generation Intel processors on LGA 1700 socket. It will allow the assembly of a powerful and versatile configuration capable of performing all tasks. Gaming, streaming, intensive multitasking, multimedia creation, it is the ideal solution to design ahigh-end PC with high performance. It also supports DDR4 RAM, PCI-Express 5.0 16x graphics cards, PCI-E 4.0 M.2 SSDs andUSB 3.2 and Thunderbolt 4 devices .
The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, as they are the first to integrate a hybrid architecture. This process consists of combining two different types of cores on the same chip. The first 1, called Percormance-Cores, are dedicated to performance in games and mono-threaded applications requiring resources. The second type, called Efficient-Cores, are particularly efficient for multitasking and side task processing. Together, the two provide spectacular performance and incredible responsiveness for your system.

As announced in the title, magnificent motherboard, excellent rendering in the case, clear Asrock polychrome software that surprisingly works quite well, Razer Chroma sync directly, as well as with the G.Skill Trident RAM, BIOS update necessary for high-frequency stability. Connectivity more than adequate for any configuration. I'd recommend it without hesitation, especially at the excellent price I paid for it!
