AMD X470 Motherboard Review Collection
In this review, we look at a new motherboard from ASRock, this time with the X470 Taichi. A motherboard that positions itself in the high-end range of X470, nicely built motherboard really and good looking is what it screams. I specifically say high-end, as ASRock designed something nice here, but priced it accordingly as well in a €229,- (similar in USD) you get the benefits from the X470, and overall a very nicely built motherboard really.

The motherboard also offers up very neutral aesthetics, which is great since most people want that. The Taichi brand has a very well known reputation in the enthusiast community, and there is also a normal X470 Taichi, so let’s see what the X470 Taichi Ultimate has to offer.

Although an ITX motherboard is significantly smaller than its ATX cousins – a mere 17cm square rather than 30×24 – the Strix still squeezes on almost everything we could hope to find. Dual M.2 ports, AC WiFi, SupremeFX audio, AURA SYNC and USB 3.1 ports are all available.

I’m going to check out what Asus has done with their X470 models, test the performance to see how it compares to the two other X470 boards I’ve tested, check out the cooling situation, and then run down and see if it’s a good buy for someone looking to build a Ryzen 2000 Series build.

Apart from the odd aesthetic omission, the only significant cutbacks you’ll notice at a glance are a drop to just one M.2 heatsink and also slightly less elaborate power circuitry and cooling, with an 8+3 phase design and none of the dense, heat-pipe-linked heatsinks of the more expensive board.

The most evident refinement from Gigabyte is entirely practical, though. Witness the Gaming 7’s monster VRM heatsink. This cooler starts with a six-millimeter-diameter copper heat pipe that comes into direct contact with the thermal pads beneath.

We received our sample of the Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero Wi-Fi as part of the press kit that AMD delivered for the launch of Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 2600X CPUs. As we expected, the Crosshair VII Hero is a high end motherboard that is loaded with overclocking features and while it looks and feels really solid, our initial testing suggested that performance was nothing special.

MSI has announced five different motherboards for their X470 line up designed for different kinds of gamers and PC enthusiasts. The MSI X470 Gaming Plus is the most affordable motherboard in the line-up and they sent this to us to check out. What’s in the box? The front of the box has the typical MSI…

This £175 board ships with a healthy feature set, including an M.2 heatsink, a further M.2 slot on the back, 12 edge LEDs for the oh-so-obligatory RGB, high-quality audio, Gigabit LAN, 802.11ac WiFi/Bluetooth 4.2, and a PCIe x16 slot. Getting all of these on to the form factor is no easy task, but after having had a play around with it for the last couple of days, Asus has done a reasonable job.
