But all power users and hardware fools who opt for a Haswell-E / X99-team, get in return not only the brachialste, never before encountered in the consumer area processor performance, no, they also acquire more features, over which yesterday was rumored still awesome as "tomorrow": So Intel's hexa-core and octa-core monsters come first with integrated DDR4 memory controller so that X99 motherboards have appropriate RAM banks in which the even faster, while more energy-efficient DDR4 RAM tinkers.
In addition, many X99 boards have the next-gen interface for SSDs called SATA Express (SATAE) and Pattern 2 (NGFF), the first time with the Z97 chipset and the 1150s Intel mainstream processors ("Haswell refresh" / "Devil's Canyon") reached the market. But unlike the latter, the Haswell There are not only 16, but all 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes available, which is why the fastest M.2 SSDs also via 4 lanes can be connected (via compatible motherboard slots) with maximum speed without abzuzwacken data lines of the graphics board.
When unique ASRock X99E-ITX / AC is a very well equipped X99 motherboard, which represents an ideal basis for the mega strong Extreme processors the Core i7-5000er series with its 6 or even 8 cores. The overloaded acting 17 x 17 cm large board in Mini-ITX format combines all this technology, which is normally installed on ATX boards, yet has space for a powerful WiFi module! This is made possible, among other things through the use of a special cooling solution in the form of a narrow ILM CPU cooler. The black and blue board comes with two DIMM slots for DDR4 memory in super snappy quad-channel mode.
As sound chip of Realtek ALC1150 is at Bo (a) rd, can spend more than five audio jacks and an optical S / PDIF connector 7.1 sound. The further connectivity falls on the high-end chipset from adequate, the ITX motherboard provides in addition to two USB 3.1 type A ports total (partly external and partly internal) six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports available and manages hard drives and SSDs on six SATA 6G ports (incl. RST and partly RAID support) and an ultra-M.2 slot (PCIe 3.0 x4) and one external eSATA port. For graphics cards and other expansion cards provides the board a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and one Mini-PCIe slot available.
The ASRock X99E-ITX / AC convinced bargain with quality 12K capacitors from Nichicon, a very large aluminum heatsink that cools both the MOSFETs and the chipset, "Server Grade Power Design", "12 Power Phase Design", "Full Spike Protection "," HDD Saver Technology "," Purity Sound 2 ", integrated WiFi and Bluetooth module, which even supports the particularly fast ac-Fi standard and two Gbit LAN ports and many other useful features.
Among the unique features of the ASRock X99E-ITX / AC are included with delivery next to the ASRock WiFi 2.4 / 5GHz- antenna for the 2T2R 802.11ac WiFi module with dual-band mode is also supplied, processor cooler of the brand Dynatron. Because normal CPU cooler can not be mounted on the narrow-ILM-mounting system of ASRock X99E-ITX / AC, ASRock provides the Dynatron R24 for royalty CPU cooler with the same. This uses the narrow-Independent-loading mechanism of the server area, that very market sector to which Dynatron specializes.
The so primarily for 2U server designed CPU cooler can even a heat loss of 160 watts TDP are Lord, which is quite a lot in ITX area. But he can the 60-mm fan on maximum speed dizzying 7,000 U / min, at a noise level of 47.5 decibels. At lower speeds the volume with 32.9 decibels at 3500 rev / min, or even only 16.0 decibels at 1500 rev / min, however, is significantly lower. The dimensions of the CPU cooler will be 112 × 84 × 67 mm and show why ASRock has decided for this little powerhouse. For advocates of watercooling solutions ASRock delivers with a corresponding holder which can, however, absorb only selected CPU cooler.
