Only two of the fan headers are PWM while the rest are 3-pin… including one of the two CPU fan headers. Again, I didn't notice a difference verses using a standard mouse port, but others might disagree.įatal1ty endorsements aside, the only true cons I found with this board have all been covered in other reviews. This board also has a “Fatal1ty Mouse Port” which is supposed to give improved mouse sensitivity with increased polling. I've had several boards with Killer NIC and I can’t say it does much (or anything?) for the average gamer. It looks good, it runs good, and I think ASRock has really made a quality product for a price that’s hard to pass up.Ĭons: Let’s be honest, you’re getting a lot of gimmicks with this board. This board has a lot going for it and really punches above its weight class. From what I've read, this is typical of ASRock boards. and this is using an older Intel M25-X SSD on the test bench. I get to the desktop before the fans even settle down to their cruising speed on a cold boot, about 5-7 seconds. I’m amazed how fast this thing boots up using the Windows 8 UEFI Ultra Fast boot. The UEFI is one of the best I've seen with organization, available options, looks and feel. All of the overclocking bells and whistles one expects in a more expensive Z97 board are there. With this board, I was able to overclock my i7-4770K to a stable 4.5GHz. The new BIOS adds support for the Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition, by the way, so anyone looking for a cheap OC rig keep that in mind.

The board came with BIOS v1.10 and I immediately updated to v1.20 prior to putting it through its paces. Set up and Windows installation went without any problems. Pros: To start, this is my first experience with an ASRock product and I like what I see.
