Asrock Z790 Taichi Lite Intel Z790 LGA 1700 Extended ATX Z790 TAICHI LITE Reviews
DR - 5 out of 5 Reviewed on feefo.com in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2024
Excellent board. I’ve not built a pc for 20 years now and working with this was like riding a bike (a good quality one) Good solid quality, loads of heatsinks. Nice to work with. Was very easy to flash after the first start. Mine has started with 14gen cpu and I just went into bios and flashed it to latest which gave me corsair ddr5 7600 support.
All the different connectors are nicely arranged so my build has no wires cross crossing.
Good info in the manual - not too much, just the important stuff.
