Test: ASRock X399 Taichi

Konklusion

ASROCK X399 TAICHI bundkortet var en fornøjelse at køre med i testperioden. Det har kørt superstabilt også under OC. Der er masser af funktionalitet at glæde sig over og rart at se at softwaren indeholder muligheder for at fintune f.eks. LAN kortene. Også lyddelen er der gjort lidt ekstra ud af. Det har været rart for en gangs skyld at se hvad ASROCK kan præstere på X399 fronten og se deres løsninger frem for at det altid er ASUS, Gigabyte AORUS og MSI vi har til test. Så konkluderende vil jeg runde af med at sige at ASROCK så afgjort kan være med helt fremme blandt de andre store producenter og deres kvalitet er også helt i top. Lidt malurt skal der dog i bægeret for det var samtidig lidt ærgerligt at se ASROCKS RGB software crashe adskillige gange, men det bliver nok rettet i fremtidige udgaver.

Innovation/Teknologi -  5
Teknologien må siges at være med helt fremme og så lige lidt til i form af de 64 Lanes som bundkort og CPU har at muntre sig med til bl.a. Storage.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Med til dette bundkort er der desværre ikke som der plejer at være lige lidt ekstra, og det er en skam da det er en af de ting som ASROCK altid har været kendt for. Der er kun vedlagt præcis hvad man kan få brug for til bundkortet.

Design/Layout - 4
Designet er jeg personligt helt vild med, rart at se lidt andet end lutter RGB lys spredt ud over det hele. Her er der kun en ring af RGB LED'er under den tandhjulsformede køleprofil til chipsættet, så LED lyset bliver mere indirekte.

Software/BIOS - 3
Softwaren der medfølger er noget vi har set før men det er også helt fint når bare det er velfungerende. Det var desværre et af de nye programmer ASROCKRGB ikke. BIOS'en var til gengæld helt fin og en fornøjelse at navigere rundt i og den fungerede selvfølgelig upåklageligt. På grund af den RGB software der crashede konstant ser jeg mig nødsaget til at give et 3 tal her. ASROCK har dog efterfølgende oplyst at på de nyere kort opdateres RGB LED Firmwaren automatisk og så skulle softwaren virke efter hensigten.

Ydelse - 4
Ydelsen af ASROCK X399 bundkortet kunne der for det meste ikke sættes en finger på og generelt yder det på højde med AORUS X399 bundkortet. Ved nogle af testene var ASROCK bundkortet dog minimalt bagud.

Pris - 4
Prisen på de 2586,- Kr. synes jeg er helt fin og meget passende for dette rigtigt godt ydende bundkort som har mange spændende funktioner og ikke mindst en CPU strømforsyning med 11 faser.

UK summary

ASROCK X399 TAICHI motherboard was a pleasure to run with in the testing period. It has been running super stable also during OC. There are lots of functionality to welcome and nice to see that the software contains options to fine tune for example. LAN cards. Also the audio portion has been made a little extra out of. It has been nice for once to see what ASROCK can perform on X399 front and view their solutions rather than it always is ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI AORUS we have to test. So in conclusive I would like to say that ASROCK certainly can be at the forefront among the other major producers and their quality is also top notch. However, a cautionary note for it was rather a shame to see ASROCKS RGB software crashing several times, but it will be probably fixed in future releases.

Innovation/Technology - 5
The technology must be said to be at the forefront and then some, in form of the 64 Lanes that this motherboard and CPU have play with, to storage for exsample. 

Bundle/Accessories - 3
Along with this motherboard, there is unfortunately not as there used to be just a little extra, and it's a shame because it is one of the things like ASROCK have always been known for. There are only included exactly what you may need for your motherboard.

Design/Layout - 4
The design is I personally absolutely love, nice to see a little different than sheer RGB light spread out all over the place. Here there is only a ring of RGB Leds under the gear shaped heat sink for the chipset, so the LED light will be more indirect.

Software/BIOS - 3
The software included is something we have seen before but it is also perfectly fine as long as it is functioning. Unfortunately it was one of the new programs ASROCKRGB not. The BIOS was, in turn, quite nice and a pleasure to navigate around in and it worked, of course, flawlessly. Due to the RGB software that crashed constantly, I feel obliged to give a grade of 3 here.

Performance - 4
The performance of the ASROCK X399 motherboard you for most part not put a finger on and generally it provides on par with AORUS X399 motherboard. On some of the tests the ASROCK motherboard however, was a bit behind. 

Price - 4
The price of the 2586 DKK I think that is totally fine and very appropriate for this very good performance motherboard which has many exciting features and not least a CPU power supply with 11 fases.
