Introducing the Asrock Fatal1ty Professional Intel P67 motherboard is the pinnacle of gaming performance. Featuring a massive 16+2 phase layout allowing for ultra stable overclocks and enough power to fuel the most power hungry of overclocks. C.C.O., stands for Combo Cooler Option, is another exclusive hardware design on ASRock boards. C.C.O. provides the flexible options to adopt different CPU cooler types and matches your socket LGA775, LGA1155 / LGA1156 CPU cooler in the respective holes. Once again, ASRock has successfully expanded the utilization of PCB by the exclusive C.C.O. design.

Fatal1ty Mouse Port is a customizable technology for PC gamers that is a part of F-Stream. After plugging the USB mouse into the Fatal1ty Mouse Port and running F-Stream, gamers can use Fatal1ty’s personal preferred mouse polling rate at 500 Hz. F-Stream also provides the flexibility for gamers to adjust the mouse polling rate from 125 Hz to 1000 Hz. This is helpful for professional gamers to experience smoother game play and faster response time to the mouse. By adopting digital Pulse-width modulation (PWM), the Fatal1ty Series can provide CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly. Compared to analog PWM, digital PWM can optimize the CPU power solution and provide a proper and stable Vcore for the processor. Fatal1ty XFast USB Technology redefines the new standard in high performance computing. Proving once again to be the pioneer in motherboard industry, Fatal1ty XFast USB Series Motherboards integrate with the latest XFast USB Technology which delivers the world's fastest USB data transfer speed.

Hey,

Looks pretty good but its a lot of money for a brand that until now has been making the cheapest of the cheap. Have you guys tried one?

 

[Tweaker]

I have to admit, this is probably the best looking board they have ever done

 

[NathWraith]

Nice board, uncompetetive pricing though.

Eh? It is Asrock's flagship board designed to compete against the MAximus IV and P67A-UD7.

ASrock Fatal1ty - £199.99
P67A-UD7 - £279.99
Maxmimus IV Extreme - £319.99

A good £80 and £120 cheaper than both. How is it not competitive? Sorry but I fail to see why?

 

[Stormar]

I had a asrock board once it was ok but very cheap. Always gone asus since but this looks like a nice board and excellent price. If i was going sandy bridge i would consider it.

 

[Paracelsus]

I've always used ASRock mobos...IME don't let the price fool you, they are good quality, and innovative too. Still got an old S939 board in a media centre, it cost £35 originally, managed a 700mhz OC on an athlon 64 and even has a slot for a card that will take an AM2 CPU and DDR2 RAM lol! Current AM2 board I use was about £45 and does xfire as well....if I had a sandybridge intel cpu I would have no problem picking this board

Are AS rock ASUS's "cheap" brand?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASRock

Based in Taiwan and chaired by Ted Hsu, one of the co-founders of parent company Asus.

ASRock was originally spun off from Asus in 2002 in order to compete with companies like ECS and Foxconn for the commodity OEM market. Since then, however, ASRock has also gained momentum in the DIY sector and plans for moving the company upstream began in 2007 following a successful IPO on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

ASRock has garnered a reputation for good value (cost/performance) with tech websites, including awards and recommendations for some products.

Cheers....

I alwasys thought the "AS" signified some sort of link to ASUS, now I know

 

[Columbo]

Looks good but why are the ruddy P67 boards so expensive?

There's hardly anything for em to do with Sandy, I just just don't get it.

 

[pingu666]

voltage/power cpu circuity i guess. plus we dont know what intel charge for the chips and bits and bobs

think i got my msi p35 mobo for £65 new, a few years back

 

[pjansell]

It's funny seeing a £200 asrock board - i always remember how many asrock boards we used to get back for return/repair they were laughable quality back then and super cheap for a reason.

Personally i'd never touch one, but with the continual pressure exerted on system builders to drive down prices on pc systems, more often than not it's easy to guess what board goes in them.

Maybe ASUS came along and turned things around, kind of like what VW done with Skoda - the question is..... it's still a skoda, so would you risk buying one?

 

[Stormster]

ASRock are pretty solid boards IMO these days, I'd have one

 

[cplhardnut]

My experience with ASRock has also been a good one. Pretty all round solid boards.

 

[Stormster]

I've built hundreds of cheap systems around the N68C-S UCC board recently and not had any problems at all, one or two DOA boards and no returns due to faulty boards so they get my vote of confidence based on a 30 quid mobo

 

[bhavv]

One thing I was wondering about this board is that will a full length PCI-E soundcard fit into the top slot, or would it be blocked by the heatsink?
