ASRock Unveils X870E Taichi OCF with 25 110A VRM Design, Plus X870 Taichi Creator & Nova

Alright, so I wandered into this tech space—no idea why they even let me in—but ASRock’s got this whole lineup of new motherboards they’re showing off at Computex. The big star on stage? The X870E Taichi OCF. It’s like they’re throwing a party for the AM5 crowd, and this one’s the charismatic DJ.

So, this Taichi OCF thing is getting all the love because it’s usually an Intel exclusive. Now it’s crashing the AMD AM5 party with a 25-Phase design and some 110A SPS power juju. Dual 8-pin connectors for the CPU, and these DDR5 slots that look ready to send you to space—over 9000 MT/s. It sounds like sci-fi, but I can’t be the only one thinking these numbers are starting to sound like SAT scores.

Around the edges, the board’s packed tighter than my junk drawer. You’ve got PCIe slots galore, M.2 slots for days, and more USB ports than I have old cables. Okay, maybe not, but close. Plus, 5 GbE LAN, WIFI7—sure, why not? There’s even a cool overclocking toolkit in there.

And then there’s this whole gold and black look—like a tuxedo for circuitry. Buttons and switches all over, just begging to be fiddled with. I guess it’s great if tech tinkering is your jam.

Next up, the ASRock X870 Taichi Creator, clearly trying to woo every content creator ever. It’s kitted out with a 21 Phase 80A SPS design and four DDR5 slots. If RAM was chocolate, you’d be in a sugar coma by now. It also has like, fifteen USB ports—probably enough to charge every gadget you own and still have some ports left over.

Then, there’s the X870 NOVA WIFI. Sounds like an epic sequel, right? Cheaper than its cousin, the X870E NOVA WIFI, yet still ready to rock the mainstream builder scene. They’re hinting the price will float between $250 to $300, which feels like the TV on Black Friday vibe when everyone’s holding their breath.

Last, we’ve got the budget-friendly A620AI WIFI board, with a name that rolls off the tongue if you’re a tech geek. It’s packing an 11-phase 80A VRM layout and keeps the DDR5 party going (8200+ MT/s, no less). It’s a mini marvel at around $100, which means you can probably still afford a pizza after buying it.

Anyway, that’s the scoop—or at least as much as I could gather before my brain melted. Expect more announcements soon.
