The Fatal1ty brand has added its moniker to many a product line, and now they are partnering with ASRock to add their special sauce to the Intel Z170 “Skylake” platform with a new motherboard. The ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Professional Gaming i7 motherboard is out now, and is said to to be for serious gamers.

The ASRock-Fatal1ty Z170 Professional Series Gaming i7 motherboard definitely comes as a mouthful to say, but it also comes loaded with features. The board supports the 6th generation Intel Core processors and the latest DDR4 memory modules, with robust 12 phase-power to make sure everything ticks along nicely.

While it features all three major digital display ports onboard (DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort), it also fully supports 3-way CrossFireX or Quad SLI with four PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots. Taking a look at the picture above though, I have to say it might not be as easy as stated. The placement of those slots isn’t quite conducive to having four dual-slot video cards.

Rounding out the spec sheet is a dual gigabit Intel LAN chip, as well as ASRock’s own Purity Sound 3 onboard audio solution. The data bus features SATA3, SATA Express, and Ultra M.2 slots for any conceivable storage configuration. Externally you’ll find both USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 ports.

The ASRock-Fatal1ty Z170 Professional Series Gaming i7 motherboard is available now for your favourite component retailer. Pricing wasn’t noted in the press release, but you can find some more info below.
