The ASRock X570 Taichi is equipped to support AMDs Zen 2, the 3rd generation of the Ryzen Processor family.The chipset features PCIe Gen 4, giving you plenty of headroom for high speed solid state drives and supported PCIe Gen 4 graphics cards, native USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports and an overall more powerful chipset. The chipset uses active on board cooling, through the use of a mini heatsink and fan, or direct contact heat pipes (dependent on manufacturer), to ensure constant cooling delivering consistent and ultimate performance.The Features of the ASRock X570 Taichi:Supports AMD AM4 Socket RyzenTM 2000 AND 3000 Series processorsIntel Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax (2.4Gbps) + BT 5, Intel Gigabit LANSupports DDR4 4666+ (OC)3 PCIe 4.0 x16, 2 PCIe 4.0 x1NVIDIA NVLinkTM, Quad SLITM, AMD 3-Way CrossFireXTM7.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC1220 Audio Codec), Supports Purity SoundTM 4 & DTS Connect8 SATA3, 1 Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4 & SATA3), 1 Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4)3 USB 3.2 Gen2 (Rear Type A+C, Front Type-C), 8 USB 3.2 Gen1 (2 Front, 6 Rear)ASRock Polychrome SYNCSpecification:Format- ATX Form Factor 12.0 inch x 9.6 inch (30.5 cm x 24.4 cm)Chipset- AMD X570Socket- Supports AMD AM4 socket RyzenTM 2000 and 3000 series processors- Intersil Digital PWM- 14 Power Phase design- Supports ASRock Hyper BCLK Engine IIRAM- Dual Channel DDR4 Memory Technology- 4 x DDR4 DIMM Slots- AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Matisse) support DDR4 4666+(OC)/4400(OC)4300/4266/4200/4133/3466 ECC & non-ECC, un-buffered memory*- AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Pinnacle Ridge) support DDR4 3600+(OC)3466(OC)/3200(OC)/2933/2667/2400/2133 ECC & non-ECC, un-buffered memory*- AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Picasso) support DDR4 3466+(OC)/3200(OC)/ 2933/2667/2400/2133 non-ECC, un-buffered memory*- Max. capacity of system memory: 64GB- 15 Gold Contact in DIMM Slots*For Ryzen Series CPUs (Picasso), ECC is only supported with PRO CPUs.Please refer to Memory Support List on ASRock\'s website for more information.(http://www.asrock.com/)STORAGE- 8 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug - 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s)(with Matisse) or Gen3x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Pinnacle Ridge and Picasso)*- 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s)* - 1 x Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_3), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s)* *If M2_3 is occupied, PCIE5 slot will be disabled *Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks *Supports ASRock U.2 Kit Graphics- Integrated AMD RadeonTM Vega Series Graphics in Ryzen Series APU*- DirectX 12, Pixel Shader 5.0- Shared memory default 2GB.
