A Decade of Taichi: From Flagship Boards to a Full Ecosystem
ASRock’s Taichi 10th anniversary celebration is a hardware milestone that marks ten years of the brand’s evolution from flagship motherboards into a wider ecosystem of high-end displays, coolers, graphics cards, and AI-focused platforms, uniting enthusiast-grade features under a single design identity across multiple PC components. Launched in 2016 with the X99 Taichi and early Intel and AMD platforms, the series has long been ASRock’s halo line for PC builders who care about design and performance. At Computex 2026, the company set up a Taichi history zone that walked visitors from the first X99 and X370 designs through to today’s latest platforms. What started as a few distinctive boards has grown into a catalog that now includes power supplies, graphics cards, liquid cooling, and ASRock Taichi OLED monitors aimed at gamers and creators who want consistent aesthetics and top-tier specs.
Taichi 10th Anniversary and White Motherboards for AMD and Intel
Motherboards remain the heart of the Taichi story, so ASRock used the Taichi 10th anniversary to release commemorative AMD X870E and Intel Z890 Taichi 10th Anniversary designs with refreshed finishes and improved heatsinks. According to Wccftech, “both models look great, and for Taichi fans, this will be a nice collector's item to mark the 10th Anniversary of their favorite brand.” The X870E Taichi 10th Anniversary board offers 10G Ethernet, dual USB4 ports, a 64MB ROM, and a 24+2+1 power stage, paired on the show floor with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D Dual Edition for a flagship gaming demo. ASRock also introduced the X870E Taichi White, the first fully white Taichi motherboard, with 24+2+1 power, 10GbE, and dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, targeting builders who want high-end performance in a clean white colorway.
ASRock Taichi OLED Monitors: High Refresh and Dual-Mode Performance
ASRock Taichi OLED monitors are the most visible sign that the brand has expanded beyond mainboards, with new gaming displays that chase ultra-high refresh rates and low response times. The lineup spans both Tandem OLED and Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panels, many offered in black and white finishes to match different builds. The Taichi TC027USB is a 27-inch Tandem OLED with native 4K resolution and up to 240Hz refresh, plus a Dual Mode that lets users switch to 1080p at 480Hz for maximum responsiveness. Another model, the 27-inch TC027QXB OLED, runs at 1440p with up to 540Hz and can hit 720Hz at 720p in Dual Mode. Both panels deliver 0.03ms GTG response times and 99% DCI-P3 coverage, with HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and USB-C inputs, placing ASRock firmly in the premium gaming monitor segment.
Dual-Pump Aqua AIO and Taichi 360 HOLO: Cooling for Power Users
To support the power demands of modern CPUs, ASRock introduced new Taichi all-in-one coolers, led by the Taichi Aqua 360 LCD. This Dual-pump AIO cooler is built as a bridge between plug-and-play and custom loops, with a transparent water channel, a mechanical flow indicator, and standard G1/4 ports so enthusiasts can expand the loop. The waterblock has a layered design that shows off RGB lighting, tying into the Taichi visual theme. Alongside it sits the Taichi 360 HOLO, including a special 10th Anniversary edition that pairs with the commemorative motherboards and graphics cards. At the show, ASRock emphasized that these coolers move the Taichi line further into high-end liquid cooling, complementing its existing Phantom Gaming and Steel Legend AIOs with designs aimed squarely at overclockers and builders who want both thermal headroom and coordinated aesthetics.
Beyond Motherboards: GPUs, Memory Innovation, and AI-Ready Platforms
ASRock used the Taichi 10th anniversary to underline that it now offers a full enthusiast platform, not only boards. A 10th Anniversary Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi graphics card joined the lineup with a triple-fan cooler, a single 12V-2×6 power connector, and a 3100 MHz boost clock, styled to match the special edition motherboards. On the memory front, ASRock highlighted future-facing designs such as 4R CUDIMM and DDR5 One Sub channel support, with the Z890I Nova WiFi R2.0 board enabling DDR5 7400 MT/s and up to 256GB capacity. There was also a strong AI angle: compact AI computing systems and consumer AI hardware shared space with the new Computex 2026 hardware, signaling that Taichi now stands for a broader PC ecosystem. Together, these additions show ASRock’s strategy to move beyond traditional motherboard focus and build a cohesive, high-end Taichi product family.
