Posted on by

INTRODUCTION

Before we begin, OCDrift.com would like to thank Zeon PC Trading for the opportunity given to test this mainboard and eventually making this review a reality.

Intel Z68 is the latest chipset supporting their 2nd Generation Core-i series. Before Z68, there’s H61, H67 and P67 chipsets. While Z68 chipset is certainly a not new but still, we reckon that it’s still a chipset worth to invest for. Why? Because the newly launched X79 chipset is mainly for enthusiast and big-spenders with high buying power as the Sandy Bridge-E processors pricing is currently on the high side now. As for the 2nd Generation Core-i series processor, widely known as Sandy Bridge is now entering the mainstream market providing one of the best price/performance ratio solution.

Asrock Z68 Fatal1ty GEN3 is the top of the line mainboard among Asrock Z68 mainboards. For ASRock high-end models, it can be easily identified via the Red-Black colour scheme and the “Fatal1ty” theme. We are glad to be given the honour to review this beast and please do continue exploring this review to know more about this mainboard.
