ASRock has officially launched five new AMD X870 and X870E chipset motherboards, adding to its already growing lineup of AM5 solutions tailored for enthusiasts, creators, and gamers. The new models include the flagship X870E Taichi OCF, the X870 Taichi Creator, Phantom Gaming X870 NOVA WiFi, X870 LiveMixer WiFi, and the more accessible X870 Pro-A WiFi. These boards are designed to deliver exceptional performance, cutting-edge connectivity, and refined aesthetics for every category of PC builder.
Flagship X870E Taichi OCF Sets Overclocking Standard for AMD
Leading the launch is the ASRock X870E Taichi OCF, a powerhouse motherboard inspired by ASRock's highly regarded Intel-based OC Formula lineup, now reimagined for AMD’s AM5 platform. It features a premium 22+2+1 power phase VRM with 110A SPS, engineered for extreme CPU and memory overclocking. The board uses a one-DIMM-per-channel (1DPC) design to maximize DRAM signal integrity, aiming at breaking memory speed records.
Connectivity-wise, the X870E Taichi OCF includes high-bandwidth options such as USB4, multiple USB Type-C ports, and the latest WiFi 7 for low-latency, high-throughput networking on both 5GHz and 6GHz bands.
X870 Taichi Creator and NOVA WiFi Offer High-End Versatility
For creators and professionals, the X870 Taichi Creator brings top-tier features at a slightly more affordable price point. It integrates a robust 18+2+1 phase VRM configuration, support for Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, dual LAN ports (10GbE and 5GbE), and WiFi 7. Despite having a slightly less aggressive VRM design than the OCF, it retains high-level performance and multitasking capabilities.
Meanwhile, the Phantom Gaming X870 NOVA WiFi is designed for gamers seeking top-end specs and aesthetics. It includes advanced power delivery, USB 40 Gbps connectivity, WiFi 7, and reinforced PCIe 5.0 slots for future-proof GPU and NVMe configurations.
LiveMixer WiFi and Pro-A WiFi Cater to Streamers and Budget Users
For content creators and streamers who value flair and functionality, the X870 LiveMixer WiFi offers reliable performance with a distinct visual identity. It comes equipped with WiFi 6E, USB4, and solid VRM design suitable for mid-to-high-end builds.
At the entry level, the X870 Pro-A WiFi delivers excellent value with a 16+2+1 phase VRM, WiFi 7, and high-speed USB connectivity. It’s designed for users who want premium features without exceeding budget constraints, making it a compelling choice for gaming and productivity setups.
ASRock’s new lineup emphasizes modularity, overclocking readiness, and full-spectrum wireless and wired connectivity, solidifying the brand's role in the enthusiast AM5 motherboard market.
