ASRock Z890 Taichi Lite ATX Motherboard, LGA1851
This motherboard is built around expansion headroom: six M.2 slots, a maximum-memory claim of 274877906944 bytes, and 5 Gbit/s Ethernet. Those specifications make it relevant to storage-heavy and memory-heavy builds with multi-gig networking. The accepted evidence does not establish CPU support, power delivery, PCIe lane sharing, wireless networking, firmware behavior, or measured thermals, so system compatibility still needs a separate check.
