The ASRock P67 Fatal1ty Professional motherboard uses a GUI based BIOS which has a staggering array of options at hand. It is well presented and covers all bases, especially for overclocking. Below are screenshots from various sections of the bios.
Overclocking the Core i7 2600k Intel processor didn't prove to be any issue at all. We have already detailed how to get 5.1ghz out of this processor on an Intel motherboard and we achieved the same results with the Fatal1ty board. This may sound slightly disappointing, but we are obviously at the maximum clock for this specific chip. Those users with high end watercooling kits or using phase change, should be able to push this even higher.

Looks the part, thats for sure. nice specs. They are never a company I consider when im looking at a motherboard however.
great looking product, no doubt about it.
Layout looks good, i wouldnt be so sure about jumping from Asus mind you yet, early days for them in this sector/
I wouldn’t mind one of these for my new system next month, but im waiting on an MSI big bang board whenever that is scheduled. anyone know?
Interesting to see ASROCk trying to break their older reputation for releasing poorly configured but cheap products. they seem to be doing well this year so far.
Excellent all round specifications and build quality. pricing isnt too bad either, although for 60 more you can get into the X58 sector.
I love red and black, wicked. Just hate to see that guys face everywhere, very annoying!
Previously I was only looking at Gigabyte and Asus (in that order) but lately I start to notice MSI and now ASRock… interesting…
There is almost no reason to get this board when the ASRock Extreme 4 is basically the exact same board without the silly fatality mouse port and red colors while being $40 cheaper.
And you don’t have to stare at the guy’s face while in UEFI :p
Oops, meant the extreme6, not extreme4
I just ordered one – hope its clocks my 2600k well
