The first motherboard in a long time that booted after build with no bios codes to sort out.

by andrew breckill star_border star star star star

I bought this after being disappointed with an asus x399 extreme alpha, and even more disapointed with the X399 gigabyte pro gaming. 1st board wouldn;t store bios and replacement from gigabyte won;t boot with any sata drives plugged in. Anyway the Taichi is on the small side so fitting the cpu power connectors was a bit af a chew. But they fitted after a couple of goes with no skin lost. Had a cloned nmve from my Laptop used that as boot drive and system booted first time, no chew all sata drives recognised, all peripherals as well. Very impressed with this board.
