Today, we’ll be taking a quick look at the ASRock TRX40 Taichi Motherboard. It’s designed for high-end enthusiasts, and competes directly with Intel’s HEDT (high-end desktop) motherboards, such as the X299. It utilizes the TRX40 chipset, and supports all of the latest 3rd generation Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series processors, on a new sTRX4 socket. Unfortunately, both the 1st and 2nd generation Threadripper CPUs are not compatible with this motherboard.

The ASRock TRX40 Taichi comes absolutely packed with load of great features, including ASRock’s renowned SuperAlloy, featuring XXL Aluminum heatsink, an 8 layer, matte black, 2oz PCB, with premium 90A power chokes, 16 power phases and 90A Dr.MOS, as well as high-quality capacitors, and of course their unique Taichi design.
