The X99E-ITX/ac combines the compactness of Mini ITX with the computing prowess of a Haswell-E CPU. A two-DIMM limit that seems restrictive by X99 standards is standard in Mini ITX, and our benchmark prove that more bandwidth is rarely needed. Being b...
Huge compute functionality, small footprint, USB 3.1, PCIe x4 M.2, SATA Express all present, Very efficient VRM, Great provided fan control, Great audio performance, Wide-open BIOS ready for tweaking to the limit, Dual-phase DIMM VRM for high-density DIMM
Limited platform functionality—only two ram slots and one PCIe slot, Bundled heatsink only truly good for stock operation, and provided watercooling bracket only works with select coolers, Wasn't a simple drop-in upgrade for other ASRock PC products
The ASRock X99E-ITX/ac will be available for around US$299. Huge compute functionality, small footprint USB 3.1, PCIe x4 M.2, SATA Express all present Very efficient VRM Great provided fan control Great audio performance Wide-open BIOS ready for tweaking...
First of all please note that we didn't include any gaming results as the Core i7-5960X isn't really any faster than the LGA1150 Core i7 processors which makes gaming tests rather pointless. The Core i7-5960X's advantages tend more towards photo/video edi...

Asrock's X99EITX/ac delivers the performance of a fullsized EATX X99 board in a 170mm x 170mm package that still manages to carry enthusiast trappings from WiFi & Bluetooth to SATA Express & M.2 connectivity.
The board's limitations include four less SATA ports (six vs ten) and two DIMM slots vs four, though dualchannel RAM doesn't kill the i75960X's performance. Be ready to rationalize the expense of a closedloop cooler.
Abstract: Mini-ITX boards are the smallest (170mm x 170mm), but often have to make some sacrifices, such as only a single PCIe x16 port. micro-ATX (mATX) boards are significantly bigger (244mm x 244mm), and can often be found for very affordable prices. Connectivi...

If you have gone on YouTube lately, you might have seen a video of a bully getting beat up by a victim half his size, with the victim knocking out the bully with a single punch. In some sense, I think of the X99E-ITX/ac as the little underdog that packs ...
Lets start with the negatives. The X99E-ITX/ac is an expensive motherboard. At £230, it's one of the pricier X99 boards we've tested. The Maximus VII Impact costs around £150, which is pricey, but not rediculous for a Z97 motherboard, however the X99E-ITX...

The ASRock X99-ITX/ac motherboard is a difficult product to describe, basically because there's nothing else quite like it! That in itself makes it special, but what makes it even more special is that not only is it unique, it's simply a damn good mother...

Support for the HaswellE CPU range and up to 18core Xeon processors on a miniITX motherboard, Strong overclocking performance – as good as fullsized LGA 20113 motherboards, Plenty of connectivity and highspeed networking options, PCIe 3.0 x4 (32Gbps) Ultr
More widespread support for AIO liquid coolers would be welcomed, Memoryintensive workloads may be hampered by dualchannel memory.
The ASRock X99E-ITX/ac mini-ITX motherboard serves as proof that Intel's HEDT platform does not necessitate the use of physically larger hardware. ASRock has overcome a major engineering hurdle in tremendous style, by offering the first mITX board to be e...
the structure is easy to understand and even if you're not a very experienced user you will find the things you'd like to change On another note ASRock is dedicated and ing hard did a pretty good job with this on but still, every here and there the perfo...
