Just some feed back about memory timing.
Since many years I have a 1700 CPU and I was unable to get a DDR memory running higher than 2133 Mhz.
As I want to switch to a 3800X CPU, yesterday I flashed the bios 6.40 from 5.60.
And then bingo, my 1700 CPU is running DDR at 2600 Mhz (or higher)!
5.60 seems to be a crappy bios regarding memory timing.
Next step will be to insert the 3800X CPU.

This weekend I have updated the X370 Taichi with a 3800X cpu and a RX 6700 graphic card.
I flashed the bios 6.40 and then the bios 7.00.
The motherboard behaves properly at stock speed (for now) but I had to make a fresh install of W10.
Without a fresh install Windows was stuck on the logon with the rotating dots.
Windows is really a shame, needing a fresh install each time the processor is changing.
I tried the FarCry 6 benchmark and the average FPS is 98 frame/s in 1440p.
This motherboard is really rock solid.

I got some bios issue when using an add-on PCIe Raid controller card.
With some bios (i.e.: 7.00) I do not see the bios from the Raid card before the ASRock bios shows up.
Bios 6.40 was showing it properly.
Is there a workaround?

@SpotAnime "I really want to upgrade from my 1700x to my 5700x but have anxiety "
I did an upgrade from Ryzen 1700 to Ryzen 3800X.
Bios: 5.6 (1700) -> 6.40 -> 7.0 (3800X)
I did not have to reset any bios or change manually any bios value during the update from USB key.
But I got an issue: I had to do a blank install of W10 as the 1700 and the 3800X are seen as two different processors.
What a shame Windows!

"why did you stop at 7.00"
Well my computer is working well with 7.00 and W10.
I was planning to upgrade the bios when switching to W11 later.
What function do I miss with 7.00?

@quicknick I got a similar issue when upgrading this board from Ryzen 1700 to Ryzen 3800X.
All went well but the 2 processors are seen by Windows 10 as different and it needs a fresh install of W10.
I was mad at it but after loosing a lot of time I did a new fresh W10 install.
I do not use fTPM or Bitlocker and never get the message about them.

@quicknick "RAM model is CMK16GX4M2B3200C16"
I have the same RAM as you with 4 units.
It will never run at 3200 Mhz : with the 4 slots full you have to lower the speed (X370 chipset is rated to 2600 Mhz).
The best I got for now is 2800 Mhz with a 3800X and XMP profile activated in the bios.

You seem to be turning around the DDR behavior.
Make a simple test: go to the bios, select the slowest non XMP speed available in the DDR profile and test if all the system is booting well.
If it is booting well and stable: run the DDR at low speed until you by a new set more performant.
If it is not booting properly, it is that the issue is elsewhere.
For your tests with 2 different motherboards, it does not seem that the X370 Taichi is faulty.
Good luck.

The Asrock website specify the X370 Taichi with up to 300W of power available for the cpu.
Should be good for the AM4 socket.
