Product overview
ASRock’s X670E Taichi Carrara launched September 22, 2022 as a special 20th‑anniversary AM5 board in the X670E family for Ryzen 7000 processors. It remains on ASRock’s product list with ongoing BIOS/driver updates into 2026. Positioned in the enthusiast tier, it exists for builders who want maximum AM5 connectivity and next‑gen readiness without moving to a workstation platform. It offers an EATX layout for roomy builds, dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, multiple M.2 options, DDR5 support across four DIMMs (up to 128 GB), Wi‑Fi 6E, 2.5G LAN, and abundant USB including USB4—suited to expansion‑heavy gaming or creator rigs that use many NVMe drives and add‑in cards. Unique: the Carrara marble‑themed special edition bundles a matching 120 mm fan. Not discontinued as of 2026.
