SeekerASRock B550 Taichi
The ASRock B550 Taichi -- and other B550 boards priced close to $300 -- are in a peculiar space. While the B550 Taichi looks the part and is, by most accounts, a premium motherboard, it still isn’t X570. But if you are willing to shell out $300 for a B550 motherboard, the Taichi has that high-end look, performs well, and brings enough features to stand with its peers.

Asrock's B550 Taichi is a great-looking motherboard with superb build quality, but it's lacking in some important areas such as in-BIOS overclocking support and RAM-tweaking stability.
