Moving up in the 9 series range we have the Zx7-Fatal1ty Killer, For those of us who think gaming should be black and red only, the Fatal1ty Killer has some nice features adapted for gamers.

To start with, the LGA1150 socket is powered by a 10-phase VRM. It’s wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots, and two PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots (electrical x8/x8 when both are populated). Other expansion slots include two PCI-Express 2.0 x1, and two legacy PCI slots. ASRock’s explanation for giving this board legacy PCI is that 10-year old PCI sound cards are still relevant today, because their output quality is still as good as it gets, even if their DSP features have become irrelevant. Storage connectivity that includes six SATA 6 Gb/s, from which two mod-out to a SATA-Express port; and an M.2, implemented in the same “superior” way as the rest of ASRock’s lineup. You get the same 8-channel Purity audio as the Zx7-Extreme4, but the wired networking is care of a Killer E2200 NIC. Display connectivity includes dual-link DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI. Six USB 3.0 ports, and dual-UEFI BIOS make for the rest of it.
