Lol yeah, was about to say, the only X370 board ASRock has that costs more than or about the same as the Crosshair is the Fatil1ty Professional Gaming. 

About the only thing the Crosshair has going for it, is it has a lot of USB ports on the back...  But the ASRock X370 Fatil1ty and Taichi have more things like the Wifi and ultra M.2. And in the case of the fatal1ty, the 5G lan for use with future routers. 



ASUS having "BETA"(user created) BIOSes I just couldn't bring myself to buy a board that NewEgg Reviewers give a 44% 5 Egg reviews and a lowly 27% give it a 1 Egg review.. Sorry ASUS ... This time anyways



The Taichi and Fatal1ty are 80% and 83% respectively 5 Egg Reviews. Handshake

It's a side effect of the buggy shoddy release thanks to AMD unfortunately. As much as we all may love the product, the fact of the matter is that we probably all should have held off on buying at least 6 months while the kinks got worked out. A rushed release is a rushed release, and some of us are impatient trying to get our very expensive systems working correctly. Can't fault people for that. Especially with all the rumors circulating about the issues being directly related to the AGESA code, everyone is stomping their feet waiting for the update. I personally had no plans to touch ryzen for a while, but since DDR4 prices are on a steady rise, and the sales hit right when I had the itch, bought the parts. Only to find exactly what I expected...bugs. Lots of them. lol

It's a shame that happened to you, but you know that bricked AM4 boards have happened to at least one other mother board manufacture (MSI), right?

So how can you guarantee to yourself that will never happen again?


i think he means he WONT flash under windows again mate
that is what i mean...so far i love my fatality ab350 other than the small bios issue.

i would tend to agree partly here with you
asus has flashback ON SOME motherboards the crosshair being one (allthough there was one bios that would still brick it ,and be unable to use the flashback usb device)
gigabyte has dual bios
msi used to have something called M bios or something (it was similar to the crosshair flashback via usb) im not sure am4 msi still has it

so yes if i were to give any feedback about the asrock taichi it would be to suggest a form of bios recovery on a £230 ($230ish) mainboard, other than that im happy with the taichi
(of course im one of the lucky ones to have my ram working at full 3200 from day one,and locked in a 1700 overclock to 3.9 within minutes) but hell did i do a lot of pre-planning with what ram to buy and read lots of reviews on the taichi before i choose that

I'm a happy Taichi owner too, and my ram also runs at 3200 cl14 no problem. It would be great to have a bios recovery option in case of corruption or bricking, just as other manufacturers have. Just saying.

I actually think everyone does.... this has been said countless times in many forums and many benchmarks... Probably that is why everyone runs like crazy waiting for the new AGESA that _ should _ up the OC potential / compatibility with most of the RAM sticks...
I also have high hopes that my quad kit will run @ at least 29xx (3000) speed.

Gigabyte: Zero AM4 mother board BIOS updates </span>include "AGESA 1.0.0.6a" in the description. Most if not all of the latest AM4 BIOS updates have the description "Update CPU AGESA 1004a".

MSI: I gave up after checking eight AM4 boards, their website is clumsy, four X370 and four B350. Nothing about "AGESA 1.0.0.6a" in any of the BIOS updates.
The beta bios with AGESA 1.0.0.6a is available both for Asus Crosshair Hero and MSI, it's on their forums.

Just saying.

And I've read the feedback for Asus CH beta bios and haven't seen anything about bricked boards. I've seen a lot of happy overclockers with their ram working at its rated speeds finally.?

The Taichi costs more than the top Asus board. I hope we don't have to wait month extra on the new bios.


I personally wouldn't run a Beta Bios on my board (Killer SLI A/C), but would like to see the option for others.

Most people just want to overclock their Ram to its highest OC setting, but I don't think they understand how important this is for Ryzen. The Infinity Fabric is directly tied to Ram speeds so that is my personal reason for wanting to see the new update.

As it stands right now my system is blazingly fast, chews through games like there's no tomorrow, and anything work related on the desktop is snappy.

I'm coming over from a MBP so obviously my case might be different than others that have been using desktops since forever and a day.
