Test: ASRock Fatality X99 professional

Konklusion

Jeg har altid godt kunnet lide ASRock's måde at gøre tingene på. De gør, hvad de kan for at gøre deres bundkort billige, men man får stadig ikke indtrykket af, at der mangler noget. Nu vil jeg så ikke ligefrem sige, at deres største spillebundkort er blevet lavet billigt, men ASRock viser os bestemt, at selvom de producerer bundkort, der er billige, kan de skam også levere varen i den anden ende af skalaen.

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Her vælger jeg at give et 4 tal, for ASRock har bestemt smidt alt, hvad de har at byde på af funktioner ned på kortet, og man får virkelig indtrykket af, at bundkortet er klar til at blive spillet på. Jeg forstår dog ikke bundkortets overclocking funktioner, for det har de deres overclocking serie til, men at bundkortet har disse funktioner, vil jeg bestemt ikke klage over.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Her vil jeg ikke give bundkortet 3, da jeg synes, det medfølgende tilbehør er ganske fint, men nu hvor det er et spillebundkort, ville jeg gerne have haft nogle spil specifikke ting, udover XSplit kuponen.

Design/Layout - 4
Jeg synes, ASRock har gjort det rigtig godt her, især med PCIe layoutet. Her er der fokuseret på 4 grafikkort, men også blevet plads til en ekstra PCIe x16 port sammen med hele 2 M.2 porte, hvor den ene er en Ultra port. Jeg tror dog, det er de færreste, der vil benytte sig af 4 grafikkort, men de røde PCIe porte kan også bruges til andet end grafikkort, så man burde være dækket godt ind med PCIe porte alligevel. Bundkortet som helhed kan jeg rigtig godt lide at kigge på, knapperne matcher temaet, men jeg ville nu gerne have flyttet tænd/sluk, genstart, BIOS vælger, LED display og DirectKey op til overclocking knapperne.

Software/BIOS - 5
Jeg har rigtig svært ved at se, hvad ASRock kan gøre bedre her. Softwaren fungerer utrolig godt og man har mulighed for at rode med rigtig mange indstillinger inde i Windows.

Ydelse - 4
Ja, bundkortet var en smule bagefter ved standard hastighed, og ved et overclock var der lidt små problemer med cache hastigheden, og kerne hastigheden ville ikke helt så højt op som de sammenlignede bundkort. Men det forhindrede bestemt ikke kortet i at følge med ved overclocket hastighed, hvilket jeg synes, er ganske imponerende.

Pris - 4
De sammenlignede bundkort ligger i en lidt højere prisklasse end bundkortet her, men det formår stadig at følge fint med og leverer en rigtig god samlet oplevelse, og for det skal kortet have 4.

UK summary

I have always like the way ASRock does everything. They always do what they can to keep the price down without slacking on quality and features. I can't really say that this gaming motherboard is cheap, but this shows that ASRock can deliver motherboards in every segment.

Innovation/Technology - 4
It will be a score of 4. ASRock has filled this motherboard with all kinds of features, you can' t really ask for more. And even though this is a gaming motherboard, you will get all the overclocking features from their overclocking series as well. I can't really complain about that.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
You get what you need and I think the bundle is just fine, but now that it is a gaming motherboard, it would have been nice to see some more gaming oriented stuff in the package as well, besides the XSplit coupon.

Design/Layout - 4
I really like the design of this motherboard - especially the way they have focused on the PCIe ports for up to 4 video cards. And still they have made space for two M.2 ports where one of them is an Ultra port. I doubt that most people will actually be using all 4 video card ports, so the good thing is, they can be used for other things than video cards, even though that is the main purpose of them. I like the look and feel of the motherboard, but I will say that the buttons for on/off, reboot, BIOS switch, LED display and DirectKey should have been placed next to the overclocking buttons.

Software/BIOS - 5
I can't really point out what ASRock should have done better. The software is flawless and you have a lot of things, you can change and optimise with the software in Windows.

Performance - 4
Well, the motherboard is lacking a bit behind when it comes to performance with the standard speed and it did have some problems with the overclocking of cache and core speed, but even so it was still performing great compared to its competitors. 

Price - 4
The competing motherboard is the test is from a higher price class and still our ASRock is in the game of terms of performance and overall user experience. We can't give it less than a 4.
