facebook  linkedin  line  twitter

TAIPEI, Taiwan, December 8, 2014 – With technology advancing and space becoming rather expensive, the demand for small form factors such as micro ATX motherboards is growing as well. At one time, users held back to these micro ATX systems, assuming that they would be inferior both in hardware specifications and overall performance, but not anymore. Now that ASRock's X99M Extreme4 has picked up the Smart Buy award and Fatal1ty X99M Killer has collected the Approved award from the globally renown authority on tech – Tom's Hardware, ASRock has demonstrated once again "good things come in small packages"!

THG
ASRock's X99 motherboards are killing the spot! X99M Extreme4 picks up the Tom's Hardware Smart Buy award while Fatal1ty X99M Killer bags the Approved award. (Read the full review here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asrock-x99m-extreme4-fatal1ty-x99m-killer,3994.html)

Thomas Soderstrom, the chief editor of Tom's Hardware came to the verdict "X99M Extreme4 provides better-than average value within the Micro ATX class, on the other hand Fatal1ty X99M Killer appeals to network and game streaming enthusiasts. Either of ASRock's X99M series is capable of standing up to, and even dethroning other competitors' Micro ATX motherboards in value!"

THG Score
This chart clearly indicates how ASRock's X99M Extreme4 leads both in price and value.

ASRock X99M Extreme4 offers the same overclocking experience and performance as its full-sized sibling X99 Extreme4.

THG Approved
ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer adds a Killer E2200 PCIe network controller, and offers three months of premium XSplit service.

Size by no means hinders ASRock's micro ATX motherboard's hardware features and performance.
