ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Profess1onal Series Motherboard Review

ASRock have always been known for achieving a good price point. In recent months they are getting a name outside the budget market as they deliver quality products aimed at the more demanding enthusiast gamer. The Fatal1ty Professional makes a good counterpart to the MSI Big Bang and Asus Republic Of Gamers boards.

On a connectivity level there is nothing missing, we have dual GbE LAN Teaming, THX TruStudio Pro, SmartView, AIWI and a plethora of sata and USB 3.0/2.0 headers to name but a few. We like the front mounting USB 3.0 panel which also works as a housing for an SSD Drive.

On a performance level we encountered no issues during testing, with results matching other P67 boards we have tested to date. Board installation is straightforward and the layout is fantastic with no glaring placement issues apparent. Overclocking is equally straightforward and while we could push the 2600k no further than the Intel board in our labs (5.1ghz), getting there was much easier.

Overall, this board impressed the KitGuru team, ASRock have cut no corners with the bundle, build quality or performance characteristics of the board. Obviously with such a luxury product, the pricing is fairly high at around £190 inc vat but if you are looking for ultimate performance and want every luxury possible, then this should be right at the top of your shortlist.

KitGuru says: Quality build quality and killer performance.
