A Decade of Taichi: From Flagship Boards to Full Ecosystem
ASRock Taichi is the company’s premium, enthusiast-focused hardware brand that began with flagship motherboards and has grown into a full ecosystem spanning graphics cards, power supplies, monitors, and liquid cooling solutions for high-performance PC builds. At Computex, ASRock turned its booth into a Taichi anniversary floor, with a timeline running from early X99 and X370 boards through to the latest Intel and AMD platforms. The display underlined how Taichi’s clean, gear-inspired aesthetics have aged well while the specs have kept pace with each platform generation. 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,” and the 10th anniversary feels like a natural moment to show Taichi’s evolution from a single product line into ASRock’s seal of enthusiast-grade quality.
Intel and AMD 10th Anniversary Flagship Motherboards
Taichi started with motherboards, so ASRock’s 10th anniversary focus on new flagship motherboards feels fitting. The X870E Taichi 10th Anniversary Edition headlines the AMD side, ready for current and upcoming Ryzen AM5 CPUs with a hefty 24+2+1 power phase design and 110A SPS chips for VCORE and SOC, plus 10 GbE networking, dual USB4 ports, and a 64 MB ROM. A separate X870E Taichi White variant brings the same high-end platform with an all-white aesthetic and dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots for multi-GPU setups. On the Intel front, the Z890 Taichi 10th Anniversary board matches its AMD counterpart with refreshed heatsinks and a reflective IO and SSD shroud, turning both models into collector-grade centerpieces for Taichi fans who want performance and showpiece design in the same build.
Dual-Pump Taichi Aqua AIO and Holographic Cooling
Cooling is a major part of the ASRock Taichi anniversary story, highlighted by the new Taichi Aqua 360 LCD and Taichi 360 HOLO CPU liquid coolers. The Taichi Aqua 360 LCD is the flagship dual-pump AIO cooler, featuring a built-in flow indicator, transparent water channel, and G1/4" expansion ports for more flexible loops. Its waterblock uses a two-layer layout, with a transparent RGB-lit enclosure underneath and a detachable magnetic LCD on top that can also mount on metal surfaces inside the case. The Taichi 360 HOLO takes a different approach with a customizable holographic effect on the pump top and an integrated fan aimed at motherboard VRMs, plus 0 dB operation when the CPU is idle. Together, these liquid coolers push Taichi beyond styling into serious thermal gear for demanding overclocks.
Anniversary GPUs and High-End Taichi Displays
ASRock’s latest GPUs and monitors extend the Taichi ecosystem beyond core components. The Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi 10th Anniversary graphics card carries a triple-fan cooler and a 3100 MHz boost clock, making it one of the faster RX 9070 XT models, powered through a single 12V-2×6 connector and styled to align with the new Taichi motherboards. There is also a white-themed RX 9070 XT Taichi variant and a single-slot AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 with 32 GB of VRAM in a passively cooled design for compact professional systems. On the display side, three Taichi monitors—the TCO27USA, TCO27QXA, and TCO27QXB—move into high-end OLED territory, with 4K at 240 Hz, 2K at 500 Hz QD‑OLED panels, and a 540 Hz RGB Tandem OLED option, each rated for 99% DCI‑P3 coverage and Delta E < 2 color accuracy.
Taichi at 10: A Mature Premium Brand for Enthusiasts
With the ASRock Taichi anniversary, the brand steps into its second decade as a complete platform for enthusiast-grade PCs. The Computex 2026 reveals show how far Taichi has moved beyond its early X99 and Z170 roots into a broad ecosystem of flagship motherboards, high-refresh OLED displays, GPUs, PSUs with safety features like TempGuard, and advanced dual-pump AIO coolers. The 10th Anniversary Edition parts underline Taichi’s role as ASRock’s premium, performance-focused badge, connecting styling, power delivery, and cooling into one coherent look and feature set. For builders, that means they can assemble almost an entire high-end system—from board and GPU to PSU, screen, and liquid cooling—within the Taichi family. The next decade will determine how Taichi adapts to new CPU, GPU, and display technologies, but its footing as ASRock’s top-tier offering is now firmly set.
