ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional Motherboard Review

Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third-person shooter. The player controls Isaac Clarke from a third-person point of view, looking over the character’s right shoulder. The game features no HUD elements, relying on holograms projected from the player character and his weapons to show information such as messages and ammunition count, respectively. Player health and stasis is shown by a visual indicators located on Isaac’s back. Isaac must fight an alien organism that infects and takes control of human corpses, turning them into “Necromorphs”, mutating their bodies.

Necromorphs must be dismembered as the alien organism controls host bodies via tentacles extending into their limbs. Other, larger types of Necromorphs that cannot be dismembered will often have yellow, glowing pustules, indicating weak spots. Occasionally, when an enemy gets close enough to Isaac, they will grab a hold of him, and the player must repeatedly press a key to fend off the enemy, with failure to do so leading to death of the player character.

In Dead Space 2 we achieved extremely impressive frame rates even at maximum settings before overclocking.

  1. hard to believe that they used to be seen as a ‘budget’ model maker. Great product.

  2. Maybe this has been asked before but some people on a forum I visit say they are actually ASUS, is this right?

  3. Looking forward to bulldozer, but some figures leaked dont look that impress. if they are right.

  4. ill wait until I see some bulldozer reviews before b uying, but this is on my shortlist.

  5. Hi Francis, they used to be Asus’ “sister” company, but made the break some years ago now.

  6. I have a 1090t and ordered this today. if bulldozer is worth the upgrade ill move over !

  7. Excellent again. t hey seem to be on a roll lately with some great products released every week. Im an intel guy, but this is great

  8. The only thing that puts me off this product is having to look at his face in the bios! can that be switched off?

  9. How often do they tend to make bios updates? I had a bad time with my last gigabyte board and thats why I moved ot asus as they are more regular.

  10. Seems to me that ASROCK are really stepping up their game. I currently have two ASROCK boards at home. One of them is about middle of the road and the other is a very budget board running a HTPC. I was very impressed with both boards and they have been running for about 6 months each 24/7 with no problems. Seems to me that both of mine come with pretty cheap looking graphics and UIs but for the feature set vs price you really can’t beat it at all.

  11. You could set a really sh#t clock by AMD CPU releases, intel must be pissing themselves.

  12. I am waiting on parts and will be building a system with the Buldozer and this motherboard. I would be happy to post any info on the results of the build if either Henry Butt or his readers are interested. I chose this Asrock board based on features, reviews and price. So far the board seems to be impressive in all catogories.
