ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
The ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer is a basic yet resourceful motherboard for socket LGA2011-v3 systems. It brings only the features offered by the chipset (ten SATA-600 ports and six USB 3.0 ports), which is enough for most users. You may see the fact it has “only” four memory sockets and “only” two PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, but the fact is that only a few users will actually install eight memory modules and more than two video cards. It also lacks SATA Express ports, but this standard is not popular yet.
The highlights of this motherboard are the audio section, which uses a high-end codec with an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio, and the high-end Gigabit Ethernet controller. Besides that, it includes an M.2 slot that is compatible with both SATA and PCI Express M.2 modules.
In short, if you intend to build a gaming computer or workstation with an LGA2011-v3 CPU and do not want to spend money on a motherboard full of bells and whistles, the ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer is the right choice.
