ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer Motherboard Review

HandBrake is a fantastic free program that can be used to convert video files to many common formats for portable devices. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.9 version.

For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to MP4 format, using HandBrake's ‘Normal' profile, for playback on High-Resolution devices. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.

ASRock's Z87 Killer has no problems allowing the 4770K to flex its media conversion muscle. Our Handbrake test completed in less than 700 seconds which is in the same region of results that our previous Z87 test system could achieve.
