Asrock TRX40 Taichi AMD Motherboard

XXL ALUMINUM ALLOY HEATSINK & COOLING FAN
Extra-large aluminum alloy heatsink with cooling fan is able to effectively take away heat from the MOSFET, giving better performance and OC capability.

EBR Fan
The longer lifespan EBR bearing fan were used to ensure the best durability. Compares with normal sleeve bearing fan, EBR bearing fan has lifespan up to 50,000 hours, equivalent to 5.7 years of working under full speed.

Dragon 2.5 Gb/s LAN
The intelligent 2.5Gb/s LAN platform is built for maximum networking performance for the demanding requirements of home networking, content creators, online gamers and high-quality streaming media. Boost networking performance up to 2.5X the bandwidth compared to the standard gigabit Ethernet, you’ll enjoy the faster and uncompromised connectivity experience for gaming, file transfers and backups.

Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax
Welcome to the new Wi-Fi standard! ASRock’s motherboard equipped with next generation Intel® Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax adapter. The speed will be working up to 2.4Gbps and it will also natively operate with both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz simultaneously. Significant improvement in bi-directional MU-MIMO support is another attractive feature as well.

Dual Hyper M.2 For SSD
Supports the next generation PCI Express 4.0 M.2 SSDs, it is capable of perform twice the speed compared to previous 3rd generation, giving a lightning fast data transferring experience.

HYPER QUAD M.2 CARD
Extreme gamers and PC enthusiasts can never have too much high-speed storage devices to support their gaming cravings. The TRX40 Taichi comes bundled with m.2 cards which supports an additional 4 more PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe M.2 storage. It offers premium cooling solutions to ensure SSD’s always perform at its best.

STEEL SLOT WITH NEW-GEN PCI EXPRESS 4.0
The next generation PCI Express 4.0 is capable of performing twice the speed compared to previous 3rd generation. ASRock’s exclusive Steel Slot with extra anchor points are revolutionary added to ensure signal stability and also making sure heavy graphics cards to be well-installed in the PCI-E slot safely.

Server-Grade Low-Loss PCB
The server grade PCB prevents PCB bending and improves signal integrity, giving higher PCIe 4.0 and memory performance as well as system stability, giving a reliable and long-lasting system without any compromise.

Dr. MOS
Dr.MOS is the integrated power stage solution which is optimized for synchronous buck-set down voltage applications! Intelligently delivering higher current and driving up to 90A continuous current for each phase, thus providing improved thermal result and superior performance.

16 POWER PHASE DESIGN
Featuring sturdy components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Plus, it offers unmatched overclocking capabilities and enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced gamers as well.

Separated CPU Power Connector Design
Unlike traditional dual CPU power connectors which are located closely together at the same side, ASRock separates them to either side of motherboard in order to create wider trace for CPU VRM. This design brings better power delivery efficiency and lower temperature, thus improving system stability and increasing overclocking potential.

Metal Backplate with Thermal Pad
Strengthens the motherboard to prevent bending caused by heavy coolers or graphics cards with better airflow and enhanced stability. In addition, in the high temperature area on the back of the VRM, we use a thermal pad to fit the metal backplate, which can further transfer heat to the backplate, making the VRM cooler.

USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C
The latest USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C delivers up to 20 Gbps data transfer rate which is 2x as fast as previous generation, providing a blazing fast data transfer interface with reversible USB Type-C design that fits the connector either way.

Front USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C
Front USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C header delivers up to 10 Gbps data transfer rate and next generation reversible USB design to the front panel of computer case.
