★★★★★Working Well So Far. Please Do Some Reading Before Purchase.
Please read up on "Asrock AM5 x3d failures" before purchasing this board as of April 2026.
I purchased this to replace a MSI Tomahawk that was supposed to be "the one" to get. I was unfortunate to come across a very rare manufacturing defect on that purchase.
This board has been solid so far. Instantly new it was better than my previous board. Much more responsive.
Asrock Bios is about the same as its been since SandyBridge. After going to UEFI their bios have been pretty decent.
AM5 Memory training is slow, but I think that's fairly universal.
The onboard CPU temp is a nice touch. It takes over the error LED readout after boot. MOBO has a power button it. Very cool for Troubleshooting or a DIY test bench without a button (i'll get around to it).

★★★★★Took two boards to get one that works
I previously purchased this board as new from Newegg. But I could not get it to post. Just a 4d error at every powerup. It also would not do a flash bios. After spending hours troubleshooting with different ram, USB sticks etc decided to return the board to Newegg. Installed this one from Amazon and it seems to be working perfectly. No 4d errors on post and it updated the bios on the first attempt. Either Newegg or ASRock have some quality control issues.

★★★★★Defective Board + Region-Locked Warranty ! Avoid for International Buyers
Bought the ASRock X870E Taichi Lite from Amazon and it failed after a normal shutdown.
System stopped posting completely (debug codes F3 → 4F → 03).
Full troubleshooting done:
BIOS flashback, CMOS reset, RAM swap, minimal boot, CPU reseat. No recovery.
The CPU used on this board was later replaced by AMD under RMA, and they indicated the motherboard could be the cause.
After switching to a different motherboard (MSI X870E Tomahawk), the system worked perfectly with the same components. Issue confirmed isolated to this ASRock board.
Major problem: ASRock warranty is region-locked. If you are outside the US/Canada, they will refuse RMA unless you provide a US address. That makes the warranty effectively useless for international buyers.
This is not my first experience with ASRock failure. I had a previous ASRock Intel Z steal legion board ( for i9-10900K ) that also died and had no practical support option.
End result: defective board + unusable manufacturer warranty.
Thanks Amazon handled the refund for an exception, but the product itself is not reliable and support is limited depending on your region.
Conclusion: AVOID THIS MOB if you are outside supported regions or expect proper warranty support.

★★★★★Great board for the money
I have a number of ASRock boards including the B650E Taichi and they have all been great. They can train a bit long with DDR5 on initial boot but just be aware of it. This board has the bifurcated x8/x8 slots and that's why I bought, to run dual GPUs. I'm not running any of the 9000 series processors but i have updated the the latest BIOS that is suppose of address the issue with that series. I encourage you read as many review as you can to get a sense of what you're buying and i feel this is a great board for the money.

★★★★★Works as expected
Bought the Taichi Lite X870e to replace a damaged MSI Carbon MPG (my preference). I got this because it was difficult to replace the Carbon at a sensible price or purchase the regular Taichi near list price. Simply put both of these boards are of superior construction compared to the Lite.
Nonetheless, my computer is stable with Crucial Pro RAM 96GB (2x48GB), 9900X, Thermalright PS120SE air cooler, Corsair RM1000x PSU, and Samsung 980 PRO 2TB. Light overclocking using PBO and Expo.
Buy the right RAM to avoid issues.
The ASRock BIOS is excellent as usual. Linux users: I am running Proxmox 8.3 (Debian based) but using a USB to ethernet adapter until the on-board ethernet port is supported by kernel 6.xx or ASRock steps up. Another reviewer reported similar problems with the on-board ethernet port, so the issue is well known.
I like this board. Just don't pay exorbitant prices to scalpers.
