What the Taichi 10th Anniversary Lineup Represents
ASRock’s Taichi 10th Anniversary lineup is a family of premium PC components that combine high-end engineering, cohesive white aesthetics, and AI ecosystem integration to create a unified platform for enthusiast desktops. At Computex 2026, ASRock turned its booth into both a product launch stage and a museum for the Taichi story, tracing the line from the original X99 and X370 boards to today’s AI-ready hardware. What began as a flagship motherboard series has grown into a full portfolio that now includes ASRock Taichi motherboards, graphics cards, power supplies, liquid coolers, and OLED monitors. According to ASRock’s press information, the anniversary focus is twofold: celebrate a decade of design and performance, and show how Taichi will handle the next generation of AI-assisted gaming, content creation, and compact computing solutions.
White Design Evolution: X870E Taichi and Z890 Taichi
The centerpiece of ASRock’s Computex 2026 announcements is the X870E Taichi 10th Anniversary Edition, backed by a matching design philosophy that runs across the new Z890 Taichi 10th Anniversary board and supporting components. The X870E Taichi White is the first all-white motherboard in the Taichi family, pairing a digital sci-fi visual theme with a 24+2+1 power phase design, 10GbE networking, dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, and support for AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D Dual Edition processor. Overclock3D notes that the X870E Taichi Anniversary board also includes 10G Ethernet, 2x USB4 ports, and a 64MB ROM, underscoring its flagship status. This push toward premium white motherboards gives builders a new visual option that still feels consistent with the brand’s gear-inspired motifs, while positioning Taichi firmly in the high-end, AI-ready segment.
AI Ecosystem Integration from Motherboards to Mini PCs
Beyond cosmetics, ASRock is using the Taichi anniversary as a statement on AI ecosystem integration. On mainstream platforms, the H610M COMBO II allows users to choose between DDR4 and DDR5, while the Z890I Nova WiFi R2.0 introduces support for 4R CUDIMM memory and DDR5 One Sub channel technology, reaching DDR5 7400 MT/s with up to 256GB installed. This aligns ASRock Taichi motherboards with trends in AI workloads that demand high bandwidth and capacity. The company is also pushing compact AI systems with its DeskSlim and Tiny series, where systems like the Tiny H810 with Intel Core Ultra processors and Thunderbolt 4 target edge AI and computer vision use cases. ASRock demonstrated “customized AI software models for applications including sports performance tracking, sports performance analysis, computer vision analytics,” extending Taichi’s influence into real-world AI deployments.
Liquid Cooling and OLED Displays for a Cohesive Taichi Platform
To round out the 10th Anniversary ecosystem, ASRock is pairing its anniversary motherboards with premium cooling and displays that carry the Taichi signature. The Taichi AQUA 360 LCD aims at enthusiasts who want a semi-open, visually rich loop, using a transparent water channel, mechanical flow indicator, and G1/4 fittings. In parallel, the Taichi 360 HOLO and its 10th Anniversary version add a spinning holographic display above the pump, creating a layered 3D effect that can be customized with images or animations. On the visual front, the Taichi monitor line uses QD OLED panels, with models like the TCO27USA delivering 4K at 240Hz and the TCO27QXA offering 2K at 500Hz, both with 99% DCI-P3 coverage and Delta E under 2. These monitors, along with new ultrawide OLED options, give Taichi builders a unified, high-refresh display pipeline.
Power Delivery and Future Direction of the Taichi Brand
Power delivery is a critical part of ASRock’s Taichi vision, especially for multi-GPU and AI-heavy rigs. All new Taichi-branded PSUs are Intel ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant, with the Taichi TC 3000P at the top for extreme multi-GPU and AI training configurations. Overclock3D highlights the Taichi TC-1650T and TC-1300T 10th Anniversary units, which feature full modular cabling and TempGuard technology that can shut down a system if a 12V 2x6 connector overheats. Smaller Phantom Gaming SFX units and DeskSlim systems show that the Taichi philosophy now spans from full towers to 1.2L mini PCs. A decade after the first X99 Taichi, the anniversary lineup suggests that future Taichi products will keep combining distinctive design, premium white motherboards, and AI-focused features into a coherent ecosystem rather than isolated parts.
