Preview - Asrock 990FX Fatal1ty 990FX Professional

post #1 of 266
Thread Starter 
Don't think this model is available anywhere in retail (worldwide?) yet but it just came in! Nope, Newegg doesn't list it and no web reviews either so far.

Pardon the rushed job with my PnS digicam, was trying to catch the last ambient light before dusk.

Hands down, pants down this mobo has the fiercest 12 + 2 Power Phase Design, outgunning all current competition easily - CHV Formula and GA-990FXA-UD7 are both only 8 + 2 in comparison.

Heheh, I am glad that we are both mature/forgiving enough to look beyond a silly silhouette in the UEFI background and enjoy the mobo for what it is.

Newly listed at the egg, still without any images... nice nonetheless!

The mobo sample came with very early beta L0.27 UEFI BIOS so it was promptly flashed to the latest P1.10 final release. Using my gifted AMD 560BE sample as sacrificial lamb for initial x3 unlocking and testing again.
