We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.5GHz and memory speed was 2133MHz.
As we test more Z87 motherboards on our updated test system, we will include comparison data to outline the performance differences between one board's overclocked configurations and results and those of competing products.
3DMark 11's physics score shows a strong improvement when ASRock's Z87 Killer is used to overclock our 4770K to 4.5GHz.
Cinebench registers a 14% performance improvement with the overclocked test system.
In Metro: Last Light, gaming performance remains constant despite the increased CPU speed. This title is heavily swayed by the performance of a GPU, not that of the CPU.
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
