Computex 2023: discounted Taichi and other motherboards from ASRock

The fixed back panel, the minimum 2.5, but rather 5 gigabit LAN and the many M.2 slots are common in the selection.

At the ASRock computexes stand, there were a number of motherboards lined up, and among them there were certainly some motherboards.

The manufacturer will soon launch the well-priced Taichi Lite product line, which cuts down the costs by simplifying the ribs and a few components, and according to the company representative, it will cost the customers up to 20 percent less compared to the normal versions.

The Intel offspring of the series is simply called the Z790 Taichi Lite, and its AMD counterpart is called the B650E Taichi Lite. The most important specifications of the solutions based on the DDR5 platform have been summarized in the table below for easier transparency.

In the field of boards receiving Alder and Raptor Lake code-named Intel CPUs, there were three more types on a pedestal with a Z790 control bridge (Z790 PG Nova Wi-Fi 7, Z790 PG Riptide WiFi 7, plus the Z790 LiveMixer), and just like their brand partners described above, the members of the trio boast a fixed I/O shield (which is a nice addition when assembling the computer, because it makes installation easier), but two of them already come with a Wi-Fi 7 wireless module.

Even the VRM of the most modest beast has 14+1+1 phases, and M.2 Key M connectors have started to proliferate, as at least four of them are installed on printed circuit boards. The most important characteristics of the new recruits are again detailed in a table:

Two paragraphs ago, we were not quite precise, as another SKU is coming, namely the Z790 PG Lightning WiFi, which embodies the entry level among the company’s Phantom Gaming series saviors, and with 16+1+1 phase VRM and 2.5 gigabit It has Killer Ethernet, but the Wi-Fi 6E/Bluetooth unit was also done by Killer.
