Why should I get a Fatal1ty X399?

What's the benefit of spending the extra $100 on the Fatal!ty X399 over the Taichi X399? Is the difference really worth the extra $100?

Am I right? to be fair i think thats quite a broad sweeping statement and likely not to be very much accurate the rog community and namely elmor will be smashing bios revisions out faster than your daily evening meal the community as a whole will have countless brands and serial numbers for tested ram combinations within the first week of the board landing to customers and if you care to compare like for like between the top asus rog x370 board and the asrock fatality boards using ryzen and ram it shows the complete opposite of your statement we have seen with the x370 even QVL ram on asrock boards not working at quoted speeds and or not even working dont get me wrong im not slating any manufactuer here ( i myself have a x370 taichi) and im a happy customer BUT ALL x370 boards from any manufactuer have had quite a lot of beta testing from users and learning lessons on what ram ,what speed and what settings i have read many posts from asrock buyers moaning that the asus rog x370 board got better support and tech attention (some may have not been good as an example there was a very bad bios near launch but hey so did other manufactuers) i just had to point out your post wasnt the best informed information for the guy to make a buying decision on

the community as a whole will have countless brands and serial numbers for tested ram combinations within the first week of the board landing to customers

and if you care to compare like for like between the top asus rog x370 board and the asrock fatality boards using ryzen and ram it shows the complete opposite of your statement

we have seen with the x370 even QVL ram on asrock boards not working at quoted speeds and or not even working

dont get me wrong im not slating any manufactuer here ( i myself have a x370 taichi) and im a happy customer BUT ALL x370 boards from any manufactuer have had quite a lot of beta testing from users and learning lessons on what ram ,what speed and what settings

i have read many posts from asrock buyers moaning that the asus rog x370 board got better support and tech attention (some may have not been good as an example there was a very bad bios near launch but hey so did other manufactuers)
