Built for Extreme Overclocking

Z890 Taichi OCF is the pinnacle of ASRock’s commitment to extreme overclocking. Engineered to meet the demands of professional overclockers, this motherboard delivers unparalleled precision, overclocking capability, and performance. As part of the Taichi family, it sets a new standard for those who push their systems to the limit.

A New Era of Taichi

ASRock's flagship motherboard lineup is undergoing a major overhaul, unifying water cooling, extreme overclocking, and all-around flagship models into a powerful Taichi family.

This expansion incorporates the highly acclaimed OCF series water-cooling motherboards and OC Formula series overclocking motherboards, resulting in the Taichi OCF for custom water cooling, Taichi OCF for extreme overclocking, and the all-around flagship Taichi/Taichi Lite.

This transformation refines product positioning, centralizing ASRock's flagship offerings under the Taichi brand to meet the diverse needs of high-end PC enthusiasts. This strategic combination enhances the brand's impact, delivering exponential synergy and reinforcing its status as a premier flagship motherboard brand.

22+1+2+1+1 Power Phase, 110A SPS

Dr.MOS design features the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It’s optimized for monitoring current and temperature of each phase, thus delivering smoother and neater power to the CPU with enhanced performance and OC capability.

Extreme Memory Overclocking

Derived from the “built for stable and reliable” designing concept, ASRock does not compromise on any details. This motherboard is built with high quality materials, enthusiasts are able to enjoy the boost of DDR5 memory overclocking performance by enabling the pre-tested profiles. Make sure the memory modules are Intel® XMP/AMD EXPO™ capable and overclocking can be made so affordable, satisfying and absolutely no sweat at all.

Memory OC Shield

ASRock's exclusive Memory OC Shield is a patented feature engineered to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) that could affect memory overclocking. By shielding memory modules from EMI noise and optimizing the layout, the Memory OC Shield enhances stability and reliability during high-frequency operations, enabling users to push their systems to the maximum potential.

Overclocking Toolkit

OC Buttons - Taichi OCF's OC Buttons offer hardware-level controls to enhance your overclocking experience and assist with extreme overclocking
V-Probe™ - - Allow users to detect the current voltage and OC settings via V-Probe™ onboard voltage measurement points.
6 x OC Profiles - You can customize six OC Switch functions via the BIOS. Users can control BIOS overclocking settings with physical buttons, making overclocking faster and more intuitive, greatly enhancing personalization.

Professional Overclocking

CPU Heater Header - Equipped with a heater header for easy connection of ceramic heating pads within the CPU socket, it prevents CPU SoC Tile from freezing during LN2 extreme overclocking with up to 42W of heating power by duty, aiming to enhance overclocking results.
ElmorLabs OC Panel Header - It supports the ElmorLabs OC Panel to enable precise temperature monitoring, voltage adjustments, and enhanced system control.

Dual Thunderbolt™ 4 Type-C

It enables lightning-fast data transfer up to 40Gbps and connects versatile devices with a single Thunderbolt™ 4 cable.

Premium PCB Solution

Server-Grade Ultra Low-Loss PCB - The server grade ultra low-loss PCB improves signal integrity, allowing motherboard to support PCIe 5.0 for both graphics card and M.2 SSD, it also improves memory OC potential to deliver the most extreme memory performance.
10 Layer 2oz PCB - The 10 Layer PCB provides stable signal traces and power shapes delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for memory overclocking! Thus, it's able to support the latest memory modules with most extreme memory performance!

Deluxe 6xM.2 Sockets

Supports up to 6xNVMe M.2 SSDs and one of which is able to accommodates the latest PCI Express 5.0 standard

DIY Friendly Design

Graphics Card EZ Release - ASRock redesigned the PCIe slot installation method to cater to user needs, allowing for hassle-free installation and removal of the graphics card effortlessly.
M.2 Toolless (SSD & Heatsink) - Besides the M.2 SSD toolless design on the motherboard, ASRock up a notch by introducing this industry first M.2 heatsink quick release mechanism on the motherboard. The user friendly toolless design helps installing M.2 SSD super easy & simple.
M.2 Bottom Heatsink - The M.2 bottom heatsink is able to dissipate heat of the M.2 SSD efficiently through the motherboard PCB, maximize performance while maintaining system stability.

Ultra-Fast Networking

802.11be Wi-Fi 7 - Wi-Fi 7 offers higher data throughput, lower latency, and Multi-link Operation. These features ensure a smooth and real-time interactive experience, making the VR/AR experience more immersive and connected.
Optimized 5 Gb/s Ethernet LAN - ASRock's 5Gb/s LAN Connector features an exclusive, patent-pending design, boasting superior electromagnetic interference resistance, ensuring high-speed stable performance and providing users with a better networking experience.
