A lot of what I’m describing has been covered by our ASRock X299 Taichi review couple of weeks ago but if you are missing something in this article then please check our other review.
让我们从包裹及其内容开始。
Large box is well described and has interesting design. It looks similar to previous Taichi products but has the gold touch which is suggesting it’s somehow special.
在框中，我们会找到我们需要安装和使用我们新主板所需的一切。有所有必需的手册，电缆，WiFi天线，IO屏蔽，驱动器DVD和Asrock贴纸。只需所有您可能期望在主板箱中找到。
The X299 Taichi XE motherboard is in ATX form factor and is based on 8 layer PCB. Improved PCB design helps with signal stability and let us not only to run processor and other devices at high frequency but helps in overclocking. Especially RAM is showing the difference and our results you can see on the next page of this review.
The Taichi XE is really well equipped. There are many premium components and various controllers which are above the standard. Motherboards are usually designed for gamers, overclockers or workstations. Here we have everything at once.
The motherboard has two 1Gbit Intel LAN which can work in teaming. I’m glad that Microsoft decided to add network teaming support in the latest Windows 10 updates. There is also Intel WiFi which is works in 2.4 and 5GHz mode and Bluetooth 3.0/4.2. On the motherboard there are also additional ASMedia controllers for SATA ( 2 SATA6G ports ) and ASM1074 chip which is adding more USB 3.1 ports.
Interesting is the fact that ASRock found enough space to install three M.2 sockets with NVMe SSD support and one of them can be part of VROC RAID array. Competition is usually offering two M.2 sockets or like ASUS in most their X299 motherboards ( non-ROG ), one standard and one vertical M.2.
It’s maybe not as amazing as ITX version of X299 motherboard ( which you will see soon on the FunkyKit ) but it clearly shows that ASRock has some great engineers.
与X299 Taichi相比，XE版本的最大变化是电源段冷却。改进的太极与热管有两个大型散热器。还有额外的8针连接器有所帮助，为最苛刻的处理器提供电源。
Taichi Xe仍然有13个电源相位设计，这是市场上最好的一个，所以即使在超频期间，我们也不必担心稳定性。
