ASRock Fatal1ty X99 Professional Motherboard Review

Cinebench

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 .

WinRAR

WinRAR’s built in benchmark and hardware test can help us outline the performance differentials between each motherboard. We record the amount of data processed after a 30-second run.

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 4.36GB 720P H.264 movie (in the MKV container) to one in the MP4 container.

Generally middle-of-the-road performance is shown by the ASRock Fatal1ty X99 Professional in our CPU-heavy tests.

Cinebench puts the part a handful of points off the pace of competing boards with the same clock speed. The WinRAR test is dominated by ASRock motherboards, and the Fatal1ty X99 Professional maintains the trend of strong performance.

Handbrake, however, puts the board a few frames per second behind Asus' leading solution.
