HandBrake is a fantastic free program that can be used to convert video files to many common formats for portable devices. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.
We used the latest V 0.9.9 version.
For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to MP4 format, using HandBrake's ‘Normal' profile, for playback on High-Resolution devices. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.
ASRock's Z87 Killer has no problems allowing the 4770K to flex its media conversion muscle. Our Handbrake test completed in less than 700 seconds which is in the same region of results that our previous Z87 test system could achieve.
Thats a great board for the money.
Wow! Look at those graphs!
There… are no comparisons at all! Sweet! Thanks for wasting my time.
Hi Chris,
This was the first board tested on an updated system, hence the lack of comparison numbers (as stated on the testing methodology page).
Our latest motherboard review includes comparison data for other Z87 motherboards, including the ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer. It can be viewed here: http://www.kitguru.net/components/motherboard/luke-hill/msi-z87-g43-gaming-motherboard-review/.

Stay away of As Rock and the fatality boards.
They do not perform any quality control. Mine was blown up and the copper lines on the back side were literally falling in pieces.
I contacted the client support and they confirmed this was normal…. WFT!!!!!
I have never seen conductive lines of an electronics board detaching never ever.
Do not waste your money and time. avoid AsRock
