Pioneering the future
Z890 Taichi AQUA sets a new industry standard with its pioneering hybrid cooling design, featuring the first-ever detachable VRM and M.2 water block. Additionally, the innovative All USB Type-C On Rear IO configuration marks a leap forward in connectivity. Our mission is to lead the future and establish a new benchmark for top-tier motherboards.
A New Era of Taichi
ASRock's flagship motherboard lineup is undergoing a major overhaul, unifying water cooling, extreme overclocking, and all-around flagship models into a powerful Taichi family.
This expansion incorporates the highly acclaimed AQUA series water-cooling motherboards and OC Formula series overclocking motherboards, resulting in the Taichi AQUA for custom water cooling, Taichi OCF for extreme overclocking, and the all-around flagship Taichi/Taichi Lite.
This transformation refines product positioning, centralizing ASRock's flagship offerings under the Taichi brand to meet the diverse needs of high-end PC enthusiasts. This strategic combination enhances the brand's impact, delivering exponential synergy and reinforcing its status as a premier flagship motherboard brand.
