ASRock’s Z890 Taichi OCF is a $599 overclocker-focused board for Intel’s latest platform. It’s also mostly great for daily use, though there aren’t a lot of USB-A ports.

The Unify-X still seems like the best of the three 1DPC OC boards for daily driver. I've been very impressed with the memory overclocking on the OCF and unless Asus/MSI are able to beat it with firmware updates seems like it'll be the memory OC champ this generation.

I do think it's interesting that ASRock opted for using a SATA controller to gain the sixth M.2 slot. I wonder if that's the reason for the lack of USB support though.

This board was on the table when I was picking parts, but ended up opting for the Carbon due to cost (though with current prices the OCF looks a lot better) and placement of the EPS12V.

If only those CPUs were any good... maybe that motherboard would have been a good buy, but now it is only a waste of money...

I thought about getting it but it's super ugly. I went with the Z890 Unify-X since the Apex is white.

The Z890 Taichi OCF will be my new toy in a few days, just order it. This is the must have motherboard for any serious overclocker.
In the past Ive had a OCF and was easily one of the best, most fun motherboards I've had.
