Since their formation in 2002, ASRock have focused on bringing consumers great looking motherboards packed with a host of innovative features. Being relatively young compared to some of the other big guns out there, they are a top 3 motherboard brand in the world which is impressive. Consumers not only want a product that performs well, they also want one with looks to match at a price that makes their jaw drop.
ASRock are well known for their aggressive pricing on motherboards, usually coming in at one of the best priced solutions available, but do they have the enough performance to make it worthwhile for consumers? This is one of the things I intend to find out!
In particular today, I will be taking a look at the Z97E-ITX/ac motherboard which features built in Wi-Fi capability, 2 x DIMM slots which is down to the small M-ITX form factor and also features compatibility for use with the next gen CPUs (including Devils Canyon). Let’s get on with the review though, starting with the specifications…
