Refurbished ATX Motherboard for AMD Ryzen AM4 Builds

This ASRock X570 Taichi is a manufacturer-refurbished ATX motherboard built for AMD Ryzen processors using the AM4 socket. It ships with the I/O shield, two SATA cables and Wi-Fi antennas when applicable. The board has been tested by ASRock and confirmed fully functional, though it may show slight cosmetic signs of previous use. It arrives in an anti-static bag inside a plain box with an ASRock refurbished label.

Suitable for Builders

This board suits enthusiasts assembling a high-end ATX system who already own a supported second- or third-generation Ryzen processor such as Ryzen 9 3950X or Ryzen 7 3800X. It also works with Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 9 5950X provided the BIOS is updated using a compatible older CPU first. Builders who do not have access to a supported CPU for the BIOS update should look elsewhere, as the board will not post without that step. Systems requiring first-generation Ryzen like Ryzen 7 1700 or Ryzen 5 1600X are not supported.

BIOS Update Requirement Determines Usability

The single specification that decides whether this motherboard works for you is the BIOS update rule: a compatible second- or third-generation Ryzen CPU must be installed to flash the BIOS before newer processors such as Ryzen 5 5600X or Ryzen 9 5950X can be used. Without that older CPU on hand the board will not boot, making the update requirement the decisive factor for purchase.
