Intel Z890 Motherboard Mega Guide (2025) — ASUS, ASRock, GIGABYTE & MSI

ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF — overclocking-first Taichi

Taichi OCF leans toward benchers and tweakers: stronger power delivery, generous fin heatsinks, and firmware that exposes granular AC/DC and DRAM knobs without burying them. Slotting maintains PEG Gen5 x16 and CPU-Gen5 x4 M.2, then builds out a healthy Gen4 population with toolless plates. If you want Taichi’s aesthetic/feature balance but with more OC runway, this is the variant.
