I'm now running the latest BETA BIOS and that seems to be helping so far. Every time I power up the system now, it has been working.

My X399 TaiChi sometimes won't POST! I power it on, fans spin up, no KB/MS power, and nothing on the screen. I hold down power button until it powers off, then press power button again, and then it normally will work again. I got latest BIOS v3.30. Why does this board have issues powering on? I tried taking out memory and all cards except for GPU, and it still won't power on sometimes.

Config:
64GB - Crucial 16GB x4 DDR4-3200MHz at 2933MHz.
EVGA Nvidia 1080TI.
EVGA 1000w PSU

Update: I have removed the X399 TaiChi from the MB, and tested with a new PSU that is working on another rig. Same conditions as before, LEDs on the MB light up but no fans and no post. I have swapped the CPU Power Cables too with the same results. I have updated the BIOS flash via a USB following the instant flash instructions and successfully updated to 2.30 and 3.30 (using "creative.rom" and the USB slots to the right of the Audio on the bottom, and holding down the BIOS Flash Button on the MB. The MB cycled through flashing green lights until stopping which is the success state. Cannot get into BIOS to confirm, because of a lack of post). I've tried reseating the CPU itself, this did not help the situation.

Going to RMA both the CPU and MB to be safe, as I just purchased the parts this week.

Gentlemen, I'm having a very similar issue as the previous poster, except that I'm most certainly using a (4+4)pin for CPU power location 9 and a (4)pin for CPU power location 2. I get blue and green lights on the motherboard, yet not fans spin and the Debug LED does not show any post codes. I'm stripping down the case in the morning to try to post just the MB (TaiChi X399), CPU (1900X), and a single stick of RAM (Trident-Z 3200MHz CAS 14) with the PSU (1000W Seasonic Prime Titanium). Unfortunately I don't have a molex to fan connector, but the PSU does come with a tester for the 24 pin MB cable.

Thoughts?

"I sent a note to G.Skill Technical Support asking about the quad kits I posted above.  Will report when I hear back."
Response I received from G.Skill Support:

They will be available once motherboards/BIOS can fully support them. It takes a long time because our products are typically created much sooner than other hardware like motherboard to support them. We can't release them because people think new hardware can run at full speed, and if it doesn't they think it is a problem with RAM, when in actuality their system is just not capable of it yet. The RAM will always be capable of the specs, that's what we offer
Enjoy, John.

sdlashley, I would suggest you see if Intel has a driver for its WiFi for Linux.  Aquantia has Linux drivers but ASRock has made mods to the W10 driver and may have changed the Device IDs.  I would suggest you try the Linux driver but they well may not work.  A number of users work on fan control and hopefully they will comment.  Enjoy, John.

WiFi works!
For other OS's (meaning now Windows) have to enable in Bios. I did and it worked.

Unfortunately, ASRock has no drivers available for linux so I'm pretty much on my own.
I don't need wifi, but, it would be nice to get it working.
Bluetooth worked fine (keyboard, mouse).
Tried Ultra Fastboot and that does not work, drops me right back into setup.
I believe I'm on BIOS P1.30... I haven't changed anything yet. Going to run with that for awhile to make sure everything is stable. Using defaults for everything. No SVM mode.
Linux does see all 128G! Trying to push the M2 drives to see if I can get to 1M iops. That takes a bit of doing!
I'm so newb... its almost (well, it actually is) embarrassing. All my previous builds (probably 10 or so) were simple. First experience with water cooler & linux. I should clarify, I've been on Linux for like forever but never dealing with bleeding edge hardware. I think ubuntu 17 has some software and settings to get the hardware monitoring that 16 doesn't have so I haven't got that running.
Again, if I can indulge, how should I setup my fans and cooler? I plugged the cooler into mobo location 1 (which I think is Chassis Fan 3) and its set to auto.  In the setup, I see PWM Mode (which I can switch the cooler to and DC Mode. How should I set those up?
Remember... no plans to OC but I definitely will run some tests which will put the machine to its edge. 
Anything else I should be concerned with?
Any other place I should post cause I'm guessing a few folks will want to see this can be done (or maybe not).
Again, thx in advance.
