The Z370 Taichi, launched in September 2017, may not have looked dramatically
different from other Taichi motherboards of its time, but it introduced two
major innovations:
* First Taichi motherboard with a front-panel USB Type-C header: Following the
trend toward USB-C connectivity on PC cases, the Z370 Taichi was the first Taichi
motherboard to support a front-panel Type-C connection.

* Dedicated Clock Generator: Designed for hardcore overclockers, it enabled
finer adjustments to the CPU base clock (BCLK) and other overclocking
parameters, helping users squeeze out every last bit of performance.



Today, front-panel Type-C has become a common feature, while dedicated clock
generators have become increasingly rare as automatic CPU boosting technology
has evolved.

The Z370 Taichi not only witnessed the evolution of PC hardware, but also
captured an era when pushing every last bit of performance was part of the
overclocking spirit.
