ASRock Z370 Taichi

"It's got fantastic audio on the rear panel and an excellent M.2 layout that allows you to use three drives without any issues (NVME, SATA and Optane all at the same time), a decent VRM that can push more power than you're going to need, and a simple, almost LED-free aesthetic to keep the ASRock Z370 Taichi from burning holes into your eyes through the fan's ventilation holes or your case window.

If you're lucky and happen to have a CPU that can do 5 GHz 24/7, this board is ready, but just make sure you get that perfect RAM kit to match to make that process all that much easier." - TechPowerUp.com

"ASRock's Z370 Taichi is a welcome addition to the Taichi legacy, offering a solid set of features with great quality components at a very reasonable price. Its aesthetics are in line with what we have come to expect with the Taichi series, all the way down to the few RGB LEDs built into the motherboard.   The dual Intel NICs, wireless AC, and high amount of internal SATA, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 offer an easy way to expand port count and storage

Overall, I was impressed with the Z370 Taichi, and I foresee it being an extremely popular motherboard as it strikes the right balance of features versus price." - TweakTown.com

"We’ve found in the past that ASRock’s Taichi boards are solid performers, and the Z370 Taichi follows that tradition. The former black and white colored boards are nice, but we feel the more neutral color scheme opens up a really nice board to a bit larger audience. With a $220 street price, the ASRock Z370 Taichi is an affordable choice with a great level of performance. It placed at the top of pretty much all of our benchmarks right out of the box which is impressive enough, but we managed to hit a peak of 5.2 GHz but we hit out very best Cinebench score yet on the i7-8700k." - ProClockers.com
