The X570 Taichi is a solid board, but we’d rather pay $20 less for it and have the convenience of easy M.2 slot access. We’d also like to see a firmware update that brings a default RPM slope to the 6000 RPM fan.

An aggressively priced eight-core CPU, AMD's Ryzen 7 3700X is a powerful general-purpose processor with low power consumption, straddling the border between prosumer flamethrowers like AMD's Threadripper and mainstream chips like Intel's Core i5.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is a brilliant piece of hardware. With a TDP of just 65W, this chip is capable of delivering raw performance that would take other processors much more power to equal. The reasonable price tag is just a bonus.
