Tweaktown X870E Taichi White Review

I like the direction ASRock took with the White version. The combination of 10G LAN, WiFi 7, USB4, and five M.2 slots makes it pretty easy to build a high-end system around this board, and the cooling results are encouraging too.

The price difference compared with the regular Taichi is probably the biggest thing I'd think about. For someone who isn't specifically building a white-themed PC, the standard Taichi seems hard to ignore at its lower price.

One thing I'm curious about is the memory support. Since the review mentions the lack of official high-speed memory support, how well did the board handle DDR5 kits around 8000 MT/s in actual testing? I'd be interested to know whether the limitation is mostly an official-support issue or whether there are stability concerns at those speeds.
