ASRock has announced the cutest Socket TR4 Threadripper motherboard, the X399M Taichi. The product was earlier on teased at CES, but not gets specs. The 11 phase board Designed with an 11-Power-Phase Design, this motherboard features sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU.
The 8 Layer PCB comes with 4 sets of 2 ounce copper inner layers, providing stable signal traces and power shapes and delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking! Thus, it's able to support the latest DDR4 memory modules with most extreme memory performance.
Unlike traditional dual CPU power connectors which are located closely together at the same side, ASRock separates them to either side of motherboard in order to create wider trace for CPU VRM. This design brings better power delivery efficiency and lower temperature, thus improving system stability and increasing overclocking potential. Users are able to connect two LAN cables to this motherboard's rear I/O. Dual LAN with Teamingfunction enabled on this motherboard allows two single connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth, making data transmission more effective. This motherboard comes with a 802.11ac WiFi (2.4G / 5G WiFi) module which supports wireless networks and Bluetooth v4.2. Triple of the world’s fastest PCIe Gen3 x4 Ultra M.2 slots that deliver up to 32Gb/s transfer speed, it also supports SATA3 6Gb/s M.2 modules.
