Product overview

ASRock’s Z390 Taichi launched in October 2018 alongside Intel’s Z390 chipset and 9th‑gen Coffee Lake Refresh for LGA1151. It’s part of Intel’s 300‑series platform and supports 8th‑ and 9th‑gen Core processors.

Positioned as a high_end Z‑series board, it exists to unlock CPU overclocking and deliver extensive I/O in a standard ATX build. It’s well‑suited to overclocking‑focused 8th/9th‑gen builds, expansion/multi‑M.2 storage setups (three M.2 plus eight SATA), and high‑speed memory with four DDR4 DIMM slots. Connectivity includes integrated 802.11ac Wi‑Fi, dual Intel Gigabit LAN, and plentiful USB including USB 3.1 Gen2 Type‑C. Unique note: it features dual BIOS (main + backup) in addition to its three M.2 slots.
