ASRock Taichi X399 Review
VRM Cooling

VRM Cooling
Cooling of the power phases is undoubtedly the hot button topic of the moment. Whenever anyone talks to us about the latest high end motherboards they either begin with, or the conversation quickly turns to, VRM temperatures and the taming of same. With an 11 power phase design integrated with the Dr MOS technology a lot of attention has been placed on the power delivery by ASRock, and this is enhanced by connecting the two heatsinks with a heatpipe. This is something we've seen on a few other motherboards and it has always been successful, so we eagerly await seeing how the Taichi performs.

ASRock is seriously ramping up. I am following their stuff more and more in the recent times. As you have said Tom they could work on the design, but if they are competitive with the price many people that use X299/X399 really don't care how their PC looks. Just price/performance.Quote
I hope Asrock keeps on this track! I'm an Asus fanboy, but I'd love more options. MSI seems to always make rather huge mistakes, so I wouldn't touch them with a 10 ft pole, and Gigabyte is ok I suppose, but not in Asus' league. Options are good!Quote
Asus is the best one I thinkQuote
