Since I only use a desktop OS on it I can’t say anything about its stability regarding virtualization.
But for that desktop use I’m quite happy with it (had the bad luck that my first unit was defective out of the box and it wasn’t an obvious defect so it took some time to find that out).
I wrote a little report on how I chose it, since I wanted Thunderbolt 3 I had to go with ASRock so it basically was a duel between the ASRock X570 Taichi and Creator (open the link for better text formatting):
Yeah, I get the reasoning of having to make a decision between the Creator and Taichi:
(+) Creator, (-) Taichi: Even better VRMs (but does it really matter? Memory stuff is said to be more important for Ryzen and the Taichi’s VRMs shouldn’t have any issues even with a 3950X)
(+) Creator, (-) Taichi: 10 GbE (but just the Aquantia stuff, I personally prefer Intel but they are of course much more expensive)
(+) Taichi, (-) Creator: (TB3) Only 2 x 15 W, not 2 x 100 W power delivery (Taichi + Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge for Über-Thunderbolt 3)
(+) Taichi, (-) Creator: (TB3) That weird ASRock TB limitations (@wendell didn’t mention them), only 3 Thunderbolt devices per port instead of 6, NO eGPU support (unsure, that limitation is listed on the Taichi’s product page for the use with ASRock’s TB3 Revision 2 AIC that also says only 3 devices per port so I assume all “pure” ASRock TB implementations have these limitations)
[asrock-x570-creator-TB_limitations]
(+) Taichi, (-) Creator: (TB3) Better TB chipset EMF shielding with the Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge AIC and a Taichi instead of ASRock’s “bare” onboard components (unsure how important that is, cp. my solved Taichi-TB thread where another user is reporting about Thunderbolt display issues that have been resolved with the GC-Titan Ridge)
(+) Taichi, (-) Creator: Taichi with 8 x SATA via AMD’s chipset, the Creator only has 4 via AMD’s chipset, the other 4 are supplied by ASM chips that are said to be sh***y.
(+) Taichi, (-) Creator: The Taichi has T-topology wiring for the DIMMs, potentially allowing higher memory frequencies when using all 4 DIMM slots concurrently. the Creator doesn’t have that T thingy in its production revision, only in pre-production samples - the retail revision uses daisy chain.
I looked at it all of these points and since I already use separate ethernet controllers anyway and wanted that TB/USB-C power delivery feature I eventually chose the Taichi/GC-Titan Ridge combo.
PS: I’m a little sad that…
