ASRock X870E Taichi Motherboard Review

Test Setup

For our tests, we will be using a test rig which is comprised of the ASRock X870E Taichi motherboard, along with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X @ default speed, and a GeForce RTX 4080 Super.

Although the motherboard was able to support both EXPO and XMPO memory modules, at the time of testing we didn’t have any EXPO memory on hand, so we decided to use XMP memory for our tests. We set the ram at DDR5-8000 speeds.

All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds at a minimum resolution of 1920×1080 or higher. High or Ultra settings enabled.

Load Temps

Using the Thermaltake 360 Ultra AIO cooler mounted with 3 x Corsair RX120 RGB cooling fans,  the processor produced a full load temperature of 93 degrees Celsius for the CPU, and about the same for the CPU package. It’s lower than I expected considering the TDP of the Ryzen 9 9950X is fairly high at 170W.

In any case, it’s always good to get yourself a good 360mm AIO Liquid cooler, if you plan to build a system with an AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors.
