ASRock B550 Taichi Supports 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen/Future AMD Ryzen Processors Motherboard

Mostly bought it because it supports bios flashback which made installing my 5600x easy. Rgb is nice and the beta version of polychrome sync detects my rgb ram so it looks good. Polychrome beta doest seem to support razer chroma rgb. Option is there but can't be selected. Other than that it works fine no issues with ram compatibility bios flashback was easy enough. Only thing is its quite expensive and other board manufacturers feature bios flashback on less expensive boards. But I liked the look of this motherboard so I went with it and am not disappointed nice quality.

Yes this board has all the features u would expect from a high quality motherboard. Power button , clr cmos, reset, bios flash and it looks great too. Great I/O

I got this to replace an ASUS X570-P which had repeated failures. I didn't need the extra couple of PCIe 4.0 slots a x570 gives you so I figured dropping down to a B series board wouldn't hurt. I'm getting much better thermal readings compared to the x570 and the lack of a fan is nice. I also like the diagnostic LED which helps immensely when a machine won't start. Initially the board wouldn't boot getting stuck on code 1A which isn't listed as one of the codes in the manual. This appears to occur when the processor is newer than what the BIOS supports. Luckily this board supports BIOS flashback, even with no CPU inserted, so upgrading it was fairly easy. All you need to do is copy the current BIOS file to a USB stick, rename it to creative.rom, and insert it into a specific USB slot that's marked on the back. Then you hold a button on the rear IO panel until it starts flashing and wait about 5 minutes for it to stop. That's it.

ASRock B550 Taichi This motherboard, like many other models with the same chipset, has a known problem that negatively impacts USB-connected devices, causing a “stutter” for keyboards and mice, audio issues, etc. What a disgusting reality to go through the process of putting together rig, CPU thermal compound, water cooling, M2 SSD’s with thermal tape, loading OS, applying updates, updating firmware, and going through days of benching and troubleshooting only to discover AMD has puked out thousands of motherboards with bad chipsets. To this day, the BIOS updates do not resolve the problem. Absolutely repulsive.

Notes for people with problems: AMD Chipset Software 2.13.27.501 works for me, but the recommended 2.11 on ASRock's website causes my whole PC to sort of pseudo-freeze at random intervals. So I would recommend getting 2.13 if you're having any issues like that. If you have LEDs flashing randomly and they won't follow what you set in Polychrome or BIOS, you probably have a bad board. I'm running this B550 Taichi with a 5800X, GTX 970 (the GPU shortage is ruining me), 32 GB Ripjaws V 3200 CL 16 RAM (2x16), an EVGA 650 G2, an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360, an M.2 SATA SSD, a SATA III SSD, and a PCIe SSD. It's an absolutely incredible board for the chipset and money. Something a lot of X570 boards don't even have at this price range is x16/x4 and x8/x8/x4 support for the PCIe lanes. As someone with an x4 PCIe SSD for games, I appreciate the bottom slot being really far away from the graphics card slot and still able to run the graphics card slot at x16 while in use. The I/O is stellar. You won't find another B550 with the same number of USB 3.x ports *in addition to* all the other storage/PCIe slots. And BIOS flashback. And clear CMOS buttons. And a POST code display. And RGB. And Intel 2.5Gb LAN. And a front USB-C header. Sure, the price is a bit high. But given that you can't buy half of the best boards right now, it's a steal. Its original MSRP was $230, which is insane value. But now, with the inflation of all the prices of everything, $270 is good. I wanted the ASUS Strix X570-E, but it's hovering around the $400 mark instead of its usual $299. So yeah, I'm just fine with $270. The BIOS works. I'm a non-overclocker so I just want to set my RAM frequency, see my CPU temp, and see occupied slots for troubleshooting. It does that. The board armor is neato. It makes me way more comfortable while working on it. The first one of these boards I received was scuffed-- the I/O cover RGB strips were flashing random colors, even though the rest of the LEDs were responding to the ASRock Polychrome software normally. I also had a USB port not working. It was one of the USB 3.1s, and it was the second one from the bottom of the board... which was weird. Also the Taichi symbol on the I/O cover was not lighting up at all. Another issue was that the latest AMD Chipset driver (2.13.27 as of the time of writing) was causing my USB devices to randomly disconnect (even with the AGESA code update in the latest BIOS). I called Amazon, they referred me to ASRock, and over a period of two days and about six emails, they recommended I get a replacement board. I did, and I'm glad I did. The new board works exactly as expected. Additionally, the new chipset driver works perfectly.

Rock solid, and beautiful board too. The lighting on the motherboard can be turned on/off in the bios. I have it with a 5700x, all ddr4 slots, 2 nvme ssds, 2 blu ray drives, 3 sata ssds and a humble radeon RX560. In Linux kernel 6.10 everything works out of the box, suspend/sleep is also good. If you're not on AM5 yet, this will keep you in business for years to come.

This motherboard represents supreme performance vs value from its class B550. It blur the edge between x570 and b550 making competitive in this sector from high end to high end. Recommend. Quality.

Excelente, es la mejor placa para AM4, tiene todo lo que necesitas y hasta cosas de más, el RGB es muy llamativo y le da vida a tu PC, tiene buenas protecciones y buenos disipadores para los M.2. Totalmente recomendada! PD: Viene con la BIOS actualizada para que no te tengas que preocupar por eso

Scheda arrivata nei tempi previsti ,solida costruzione e perfetta in ogni minima parte .Venditore serio e professionale il consiglio sulla mobo è di fare l'acquisto perchè ha un buon rapporto qualità prezzo prestazioni ,supporta la serie Ryzen 3000 4000 5000 io ci ho montato un Ryzen 9 5850x I love Asrock e grazie Amazon come sempre per averci dato la possibilitò di fare acquisti in ogni parte del mondo

La finition est sublime et les performances sont largement au rendez-vous. Je conseille fortement. Juste dommage que certains éléments soit cachés par les GPU énormes.

The Taichi motherboard setup was pretty much troublefree . the package was well protected by sellers' extra protective wrapping .

This is one of the most premium B550s out there, more expensive than some X570s, so keep that in mind. I bought it for the passive cooling to minimise system noise, but mainly for the aesthetic (I don't need the extra PCIe Gen4 x16 slots) . It simply looks incredible, and it's the ONLY mo-bo I could find that actually looks GOOD with regular non-chromax Noctua fans. The BIOS is okay, I wish it had a functionality to kill the power LED in sleep and more functional fan control, but overclocking was a breeze, and I could actually drop the CPU voltage a few ticks lower than before, while maintaining the same stable clock speed (R5 3600 [email protected]) One thing I've noticed is that the hardware monitoring page in the BIOS displays the CPU temperature as about 10°C higher than idling in Win10 - I don't know if it's actually running warmer or if it's a bug, but it makes tuning fan curves a bit of a chore. To conclude, this isn't a budget-friendly board, but if you're looking for something to catch the eye, this delivers and then some, while keeping everything you'd expect out of a B550 plus a few little bonuses (front panel USB-C etc.) A tempered glass side-panel is required by law :)
