ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer / 3.1, AMD 990FX motherboard - Socket AM3 + [990FX KILLER/3.1]

Who wants to combine the latest AM3 + -Prozessorgeneration AMD with multiple graphics cards from AMD or NVIDIA, finds a good platform with this motherboard. When ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer / 3.1 is a high performance model with 990FX chipset. Accordingly, it not only looks damn good, but it also has a very extensive facilities including a number of OC features at Bo (a) rd.

The 990FX is based on the 890FX. Like him, he has over the smaller series of 800er- and 900 series mainly through better connectivity of graphics cards, as 32 instead of 16 lanes are available, thus enabling a higher bandwidth. For this reason, the 990FX is predestined for multi-VGA configurations.

Opposite the 890FX not only combinations of several AMD cards (= CrossFireX) are possible, but also the use of multiple NVIDIA cards (= SLI). The 990FX Killer / 3.1 this provides the opportunity to have up to three or even four NVIDIA AMD graphics cards work together. For this, three PCIe x16 available. In addition, two PCIe x1 slots available. In addition, the 990FX has a higher compatibility and is fully applicable to AM3 and AM3 + CPUs.

A little highlight of the ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer / 3.1 is also that - as the name suggests - included an ASRock PCI-Express x1 expansion card with two brand new USB 3.1 ports with Type A and Type-C jack is.

Even with the other connectivity and number is not stingy with ASRock, making a total of seven USB 3.0 ports and ten USB 2.0 ports are available. For this purpose, five SATA 6G ports, an eSATA port, a M.2 SSD socket, the eponymous killer LAN and six audio jacks joined by an optical S / PDIF output, controlled by the ALC1150.

Up to six fans Killer / 3.1 can be connected to the ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX. Thus the ATX board and contains nearly everything you could want. High-quality Japanese capacitors and the large heatsink which in a chic, yet aggressive design are bound to secure an absolutely stable operation even with a large load conditions.
