ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Profess1onal Series Motherboard Review

The ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Professional motherboard uses a GUI based BIOS which has a staggering array of options at hand. It is well presented and covers all bases, especially for overclocking. Below are screenshots from various sections of the bios.

Overclocking the Core i7 2600k Intel processor didn't prove to be any issue at all. We have already detailed how to get 5.1ghz out of this processor on an Intel motherboard and we achieved the same results with the Fatal1ty board. This may sound slightly disappointing, but we are obviously at the maximum clock for this specific chip. Those users with high end watercooling kits or using phase change, should be able to push this even higher.
