Customer Reviews

I bought this motherboard based on the reviews. In order to get it to work with ryzen 2xxx processors like the 2700 you will have to update the bios. THIS REQUIRES USING A 1*** RYZEN PROCCESSOR. Luckily I knew someone with a ryzen 1700x that let me use their processor to update the bios.... I really really like this motherboard. I didnt want to by the latest revision by ASUS. I wanted to give a new company a chance. I have been burned by MSI and ASUS. Im glad i went with ASROCK. Everything works flawlessly.I ALSO have a RTX2080ti. I can confirm that I have received no performance loss going from intel 6800k to ryzen and my fps is actually a little higher.WiFi can be turned off in bios and the motherboard comes with bluetooth!!!!!!!!!!. Network card is intel based so it has maximum compatibility. I haven't installed linux yet but i believe the network card is compatible.Bottom line is this is an amazing motherboard especially if you you have access to the previous gen ryzen procs to flash it to use the 2xxx series.

No problems from the motherboard in my build, gives me great control of all my fans and runs my 1800x well as far as I can tell. I did get this board with the intention of overclocking but I never took the time to so meh. Not sure if it's from the motherboard but the only small annoyance is when booting up there is a distinct 2-3 times where there is a low bump or pop that comes from my subwoofer. My speakers are plugged directly into the line out of the motherboard so I can't see anything else being the problem. I rarely restart or turn off my computer so theres no big deal, it was just something weird I noticed when I first made this build.Looks good, haven't experienced any problem that made me regret this purchase.

This is a stable board, paired with a Ryzen 1600, overclocked to 3.9 on stock voltage. I have 16GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400 DDR4 Ram ( 2x8GB ). It's only one FPS different from 3200 rated ram, I saved money on that. It came with 3.20 BIOS. Personally, I think this is the most stable, reliable X370 boards there is that is feature rich. I HIGHLY recommend making this your first choice in this board. Just read other reviews.

Just received the motherboard today. It was packaged nicely, even though, for some reason, the motherboard box itself was not sealed. In fact it appeared to have been opened before, although all contents were inside in relatively organized manner, and motherboard itself zip-tied to the foam base, inside it's anti-static sleeve.Started putting this new build together, got to the point where I unscrewed and pulled out the CPU cooler placeholder brackets and... wait a minute...Something new with every build - the AsRock TaiChi has some kind of goo all around the processor socket. I've posted pictures and, as you can tell, it's PRETTY noticeable. It looks like some sort of adhesive...DEFINITELY doesn't look like it belongs there. The placeholder brackets themselves felt oily, like there was a light kind of film on the surface, as if they had been painted with some oil based industrial paint.Now, on the off chance this isn't some oil-based, electrically non-conductive substance - and considering I'm putting together a 1500 dollar build and am too poor to gamble with that kinda cash - I decided to halt the process and wait for feedback from AsRock themselves, which REALLY stinks because this was and still IS a time-sensitive build...For a motherboard that seems almost unanimously 5 stars across the board I have to say I am REALLY disappointed in this. First time in my life a brand new board comes out of the box with some unknown substance slathered across one of its most sensitive areas...I'll update this review accordingly but as of now AsRock has just made me waste time and money on this. Not happy.
