ASRock Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7 @ techPowerUp

Gaming i7?  Is Asrock attempting to dictate to me how to build "my" systems?

Oh wait, you can't buy a LGA 2011 i5 I guess that makes sense the. happy smile

ASRock's updated X99 board for gamers, the ASRock Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7, is fitted with all the latest goodies, including a bundled NVIDIA HB Bridge so you can get the most out of your pair of GTX 1070s or GTX 1080s. Dual M.2, dual Intel LAN, this board is all about gaming pairs!

Personally I'm glad to see they are still building the Fatal1ty brand of gaming motherboards.  I never got to test one but on paper it seems like a really good match between gamer and hardware.

A few things to note.

  1. This motherboard doesn't support 4-way SLI anymore (thanks NVidia sad smile)
  2. It is one of those "revision" boards that ASUS likes to release to keep their products fresh.
  3. They added the popular metal braces to the PCI Express slots (me:to anyone?)
  4. Great looking I/O shield

Looks like I might have to hit them up for a sample.
