A few weeks back at Computex, ASRock unveiled a pair of interesting motherboards: The Z790 Taichi Lite and the B650E Taichi Lite. As of today they have been officially announced. And I for one am happy to see them.
The idea behind the Lite series is simple. They're otherwise identical to their existing Taichi counterparts, but with a simpler aesthetic. At Computex 2023, an ASRock rep told me the complicated cogs and wheels heatsinks of recent Taichi boards were quite expensive to make, and swapping these out for something simpler allowed it to sell the same motherboard at a cheaper price. Hoorah!
