by

ASRock would like to bring the H670 PG Riptide to the public for well under 200 euros. The PG stands for Phantom Gaming. Of course, an extensive armada of connection options and additional features cannot be expected here. Instead, the ASRock H670 PG Riptide is suitable for particularly inexpensive builds that want and should be limited to the bare essentials. But the cheap mainboard representatives do not necessarily have to be bad. This is one of the things we want to find out in this test.

That puts it in the mid-range of B660 pricing and, at that kind of price, it’s important not to expect too much. Though if you think about it, you can add an i5 and 32GB of DDR4-3200, with your choice of GPU, and it should easily be able to sit at the heart of an eminently affordable gaming system. But the big question is: Do you have to give up a lot of important features compared to more expensive motherboards?

ASRock Z690 Taichi – Chiphell

by

Compared with competing products of the same generation, the expansion configuration of the Z690 Taichi can be described as unique. For example, the onboard 2.5GbE LAN and Wi-Fi 6E network cards are the latest styles of the once-popular Killer brand, and supplemented with a classic I219V thousand Mega LAN. And the ratio of the storage interface is also “heavy SATA, light M.2”. In terms of audio, it still sticks to the classic ALC 1220 Codec configuration, and has not transitioned to the latest ALC 408x series.

ASRock Z690 Taichi Razer Edition – ITHardware

by

Visually, the ASRock Z690 Taichi Razer Edition looks almost identical to the model from this series tested a year ago for AMD processors on the B550 bridge. This means that, compared to the basic version, the modifications simply replace the standard Taichi line decorations with themes related to the Razer brand. The color scheme is subdued, using mainly blacks and shades of gray, and when it comes to LED backlighting, it is very rich, including the right edge of the PCB, the chipset cooling area, the I / O panel cover and the outputs of the integrated sound card.
