The ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Professional Series Motherboard is the hottest and latest product from ASRock which will be looking at in a more detailed manner later this month. We used this board for all our Core i7-2600k testing today. The board remained rock solid and delivered high levels of performance, even with an early bios.
The board is populated with Gold Capacitors which offer 2.5 longer life time and 100% Japanese made high quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors. As expected it fully supports the new K series of processors and delivers an advanced V16+2 power phase design. Included in the bundle is a front mounted USB 3.0 panel, a rear USB 3.0 bracket, a plethora of cables including an SLI Bridge 2S card and software disc with detailed literature on the product and bios. Cyberlink DVD Suite is also included with the package.
The board can handle memory up to DDR3-2133mhz via OC profiles. Quad CrossfireX and 3 way SLI configurations are supported. It really is a stunning design, in menacing red and black. The heatsinks which help improve heat dissipation, do not interfere with any coolers we have tried, including the Noctua NH D14.
If you need maximum connectivity, then this is the board to deliver the goods. Dual gigabit, Six Sata 3 connectors, Four Rear USB 3.0 ports, a single eSATA3 connector and two IEEE 1394 ports are included. Additionally there is 7.1 CH high definition with Content Protection (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec), with THX TruStudio Pro and Premium Bluray audio support.
Wow, those are mega processors. have to get me one
Great article and they really are good improvements. poor amd 🙁
These are certainly impressive, especially considering the price points they have achieved, which I certainlyw asnt expecting.
Compared to the last generation they have certainly delivered much faster processors. I wasnt expecting such huge gains
That ASRock fatal1ty board looks stunning doesnt it ? Very impressive overall platform from everyone involved.
Thumbs up from me. waiting in line like everyone else for my chip now 🙂
Those intel boards are really nice designs, they seem to getting better and better as the years and releases continue.
Well I had almost bought a 1100T from AMd, and now I really don’t know what to do 🙁 these are so damn good and the price points are excellent. the 1100T costs around the same as the 2600K and it wont really go past 4.3ghz.
There is a clear reason Intel are market leaders, and this is a good showcase of why.
Excellent, count me in when I get the funds up.
AMD need to answer this with something good in 2011, but I am not sure they can anymore. I remember the good old days of FX processors when they led the way. whatever happened 🙁
not that much faster than the 2010 core cpu’s people who say they are are complete idiots on avg perormance increase is about 10%
Francis, you’re completely wrong, it’s not that much faster at all, it’s anywhere between -5( meaning slower) to +10 as john already stated
