Comparison between ASRock B550 Taichi ATX AM4 and ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Wi-Fi II ATX AM4?

The Taichi is better in every way except for the BIOS layout, though that doesn't mean that the ASRock board is unusable, it just takes a little more getting used to. The POST code is extremely useful, it's got proper x8/x8 support, better VRM, etc. 

 

Either get the Taichi or get something a lot cheaper (realistically, most people don't need anything more than what the B550-F provides, but at the same time there are other, much cheaper boards that do basically everything the - F does like the B550 TUF, B550 Steel Legend, and B550-A Pro).

Dont forget the b550m aorus pro p, dirt cheap but boatloads of i/o, its also matx so you can use matx cases but may look out of place in an atx case (function >>> looks)
