ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer Motherboard Review

We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.5GHz and memory speed was 2133MHz.

As we test more Z87 motherboards on our updated test system, we will include comparison data to outline the performance differences between one board's overclocked configurations and results and those of competing products.

3DMark 11's physics score shows a strong improvement when ASRock's Z87 Killer is used to overclock our 4770K to 4.5GHz.

Cinebench registers a 14% performance improvement with the overclocked test system.

In Metro: Last Light, gaming performance remains constant despite the increased CPU speed. This title is heavily swayed by the performance of a GPU, not that of the CPU.
