SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.
Sandra is a (girl’s) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.
It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

In an overclocked state at 4.6ghz, the Intel Core i7 2600k produces some staggering results on the ASRock Fatal1ty motherboard. Memory performance at 2133mhz is also extremely impressive.
WOw that is a heck of a board. I think this will be on my list next month.
Arent they a part of ASUS? I dont know why people wouldnt expect them to be great if they are.
Nice looking product.
great boards from ASROCK. I bought their AMD board last month and its been flawless. good overclocking bios too.
Looks great, but fatal1ty in the bios as a picture? Id want to spend as little time in there as often.
They should do a cameron diaz version 🙂
I like these boards, I hope to buy one when I am paid, but I might go for asus as I had an asus board before and it was great. asrock are generally a bit better value.
Excellent im sold. Price isnt too bad considering
I like the layout, and the bios is great. Can you remove the fatality image in the bios? That would drive me nuts
Asus dont make these boards. As far as i know they are seperate companies now
