Taichi at 10: From Flagship Boards to a Full Enthusiast Ecosystem
ASRock’s Taichi 10th anniversary is a celebration of an enthusiast brand that began with high-end motherboards and has grown into a complete PC hardware ecosystem, now spanning ASRock Taichi motherboards, graphics cards, liquid coolers, power supplies, and premium displays aimed at performance-focused builders. At Computex, ASRock built its booth around this milestone, including a display tracing Taichi’s path from the original Intel X99 and AMD X370 models to the latest platforms. According to Overclock3D, “What started off as a series of flagship motherboards has expanded to cover monitors, PSUs, graphics cards, and even liquid cooling solutions.” The retrospective underlined Taichi’s familiar design language of heavy heatsinks, clean lines, and gear-inspired motifs while setting the stage for a special anniversary wave of Computex 2026 products, from special edition motherboards to high-end OLED monitors and new cooling hardware.
Special Edition Intel and AMD Taichi Motherboards Lead the Lineup
The heart of ASRock’s Computex 2026 products is a pair of Taichi 10th Anniversary Edition motherboards for both AMD and Intel platforms, plus a striking new X870E Taichi White. ASRock’s X870E Taichi 10th Anniversary Edition targets AMD’s AM5 Ryzen CPUs with a 24+2+1 power phase design and 110A SPS for VCORE and SOC, 10 GbE networking, dual USB4 ports, and PCIe 5.0 support, positioning it as an enthusiast-class AM5 option. Wccftech notes that the AMD X870E and Intel Z890 Taichi 10th Anniversary designs carry the same core specifications as their standard counterparts but gain upgraded heatsinks and a reflective finish across the I/O cover and SSD shroud, turning them into collectible special edition motherboards. The X870E Taichi White extends this formula with an all-white aesthetic and dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, appealing to builders planning monochrome, high-end gaming or creator systems.
Taichi Aqua and HOLO: Premium AIO Cooling for High-End Builds
Cooling is a key part of the Taichi anniversary ecosystem, with ASRock moving the brand further into premium territory through its Taichi Aqua 360 LCD and Taichi 360 HOLO AIO coolers. The Taichi Aqua 360 LCD is the flagship, featuring a dual-pump design, a transparent water channel, and G1/4" expansion ports for users who want to extend or customize the loop. Its two-layer CPU block combines a clear RGB-lit enclosure with a secondary layer that holds a detachable LCD panel, which ships with a magnetic holder for mounting elsewhere in the case. The Taichi 360 HOLO focuses on visual flair, using a front-facing holographic effect on the pump top that users can customize with images or animations. Overclock3D also highlights a Taichi 360 HOLO 10th Anniversary version that keeps the holographic display while tying into the broader anniversary theme.
Anniversary GPUs and Safety-Focused PSUs Extend the Taichi Theme
ASRock’s latest GPUs and power supplies push the Taichi 10th anniversary theme beyond the motherboard tray. On the graphics front, the company displayed multiple Radeon-based Taichi models, including the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi 10th Anniversary card with a triple-fan cooler and a 3100 MHz boost clock, making it one of the faster RX 9070 XT implementations and using a single 12V-2×6 connector. Wccftech also describes a white RX 9070 XT Taichi that blends black and white on the shroud, plus a single-slot Radeon AI PRO R9700 with 32 GB VRAM and passive cooling for more specialized workloads. Supporting these GPUs are Taichi TC-1650T and TC-1300T 10th Anniversary PSUs, which are fully modular and incorporate ASRock’s TempGuard technology that can detect an overheating 12V-2×6 cable and shut down the system to prevent damage.
Taichi OLED Displays Bring High Refresh and QD‑OLED Panels
Rounding out the Taichi 10th anniversary ecosystem, ASRock introduced three Taichi-branded OLED displays aimed at high-refresh gaming and color-sensitive work. The TCO27USA and TCO27QXA both use QD‑OLED panels: one supports 4K at 240 Hz, while the other offers 2K at a blistering 500 Hz, each rated for 99% DCI‑P3 coverage and color accuracy of Delta E < 2. For esports-focused users, the TCO27QXB pushes refresh further with a 540 Hz RGB Tandem OLED panel designed for higher brightness and sharper motion clarity. These screens bring the Taichi design language into the display space and align with the brand’s goal of building a coherent, high-end ecosystem. For PC enthusiasts looking at Computex 2026 products as a guide for their next upgrade cycle, the new Taichi monitors signal that ASRock now intends to compete seriously in top-tier gaming displays.
