ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional Motherboard Review

Rating: 9.5.

With Bulldozer on the horizon, now is a great time to think about upgrading to a 990FX motherboard.  We have looked at a number of different offerings from the likes of Gigabyte and Asus, including the awesome Crosshair V Formula which sits at the top of Asus' range.

Today we are going to look at ASRock's flagship 990FX motherboard, the Fatal1ty 990FX Professional, which boasts a feature set to rival the Crosshair V Formula.  It also uses a very similar red and black colour scheme that is sure to appeal to many enthusiast users.  Some of the most prominent features are USB3.0 support and SATA-600 support across all six internal SATA connections.

The 990FX chipset is backwards compatible with all AMD's current Athlon and Phenom processors so you can prepare your system for Bulldozer now.  This means you can spread out the cost of the upgrade as you don't need to buy the CPU and motherboard at the same time.

KitGuru Games: Corporate nonsense has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy as game removed from over 170 countries

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
