ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer mATX Motherboard Review

Luke Hill February 11, 2015 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

3DMark

We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike’ benchmark which is designed to be used on gaming PCs. We opted for the Normal setting, NOT the Extreme mode.

Sandra Processor Arithmetic

Sandra Memory Bandwidth

All three of the system-related benchmarks see ASRock's X99M Killer putting in consistently strong scores. The chart-topping results in 3DMark's Physics test and Sandra's Memory Bandwidth benchmark are clearly aided by the ASRock board's 10% boost in CPU cache frequency.

There's little stopping us reaching similar levels on the competing motherboards with no more than a few clicks.

Did you ever get the RAM issue with reboots with high speeds sorted? I am having the same issue, although when my PC reboots it doesn’t fail to start up, but with tight timings on my current 16GB set (CL12@2666) or high speed (CL14@3200Mhz) I can’t get the PC to stay turned off, but other than that the RAM runs fine for day to day use if I keep the computer turned on. I am on the latest 3.30 BIOS revision as well.

Thanks

You’d probably be better off with the newer USB 3.1 revision of the board, it has the OC Socket with extra pins and is way better for RAM, especially overclocking.

Thanks for the reply! I may look into that, but not really in a position to replace the motherboard. It’s been a little over a year since buying. Wonder if they could offer some form of trade-in for this issue since it does look like a BIOS bug/glitch? Or I would probably assume this would fall under a clause of, “Not officially supported RAM, so nothing we can do”. Anyone have any experience working with ASRock on these kind of issues?

I bought exactly the same setup 2 years ago. The the Asrock F-Streaming overclocking software could not get a stable result. Not even at 4.0ghz. Read the article and emulated your 4.6ghz settings at 1.36v. Stable as a rock. Ended up at 1.33v. Below that it becomes unstable. Aircooled (noctua NH-D14) never get’s above 60c under load and idles around 25-30c. Was thinking about getting a 7700k but there’s no need for that now. Thanks.
