💪 ASRock B550 Taichi: Unleash the Power of 3rd Gen AMD AM4 Ryzen Processors & Future AMD Ryzen CPUs with this High-Performance Motherboard Review

Mostly bought because it supports BIOS flashing which made my 5600x easier to install. The RGB is good and the polychrome sync beta recognizes my RGB RAM so it looks good. Polychrome Beta does not appear to support Razer Chroma RGB. The option is there, but it cannot be selected. Otherwise it works great, no problems with RAM compatibility.
