Test Setup
For our tests, we used a test rig which includes the ASRock X399 Taichi motherboard, along with a Ryzen Threadripper 1950X at default clock speed of 3.4 GHz (boost speed 4.0GHz), as well as 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000 ram in quad channel mode.
All tests were conducted using AUTO settings in the BIOS. Monitor resolution was set to 1920×1080, with High or Ultra settings enabled.

| Ram | 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000 (4x8GB) |
| XMP 2.0 profiles | Memory timings : 15-17-17-35 @ 1.35v |
| SSD/HDD | Patriot Hellfire PCIE M.2 240GB SSD |
| PSU | Thermaltake Toughpower RGB 750W |
| VGA card | Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5 |

Note: We’ve tested the board with several DDR4 memory modules and we failed to enabled XMP profiles. It could be a BIOS issue or may be my ram isn’t compatible with the board. In the end, we conducted the tests at default DDR4-2133. We recommend to check the QVL to find out which memory is compatible with this board.
AIDA64 Info
CPU-Z Info
Idle Temps
Idle temperature looks really good at around 33 degrees Celsius. Must be cooler on that day 😉
Load Temps
Load temps was pretty low too with temperatures hovering around 49 degree Celsius.
With such high temperatures, we recommend that you invest in a very good CPU cooler. Getting an all-in-one liquid cooler (AIO) is highly recommended. I think air coolers are not up to the job.
