Socket LGA 2011-v3 platform

This ASRock Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7 motherboard accepts Intel Core i7 and Xeon processors in the LGA 2011-v3 package. The Intel X99 chipset provides quad-channel DDR4 memory across eight slots with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. It is built for workstations and high-end desktops that need many cores and large memory configurations.

Gold-contact PCIe slots and shared M.2

The two primary PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots feature 15µ gold contacts for durable graphics-card connections. Ten SATA3 6.0 Gb/s ports and one SATA Express 10 Gb/s connector handle storage, with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 supported by Intel Rapid Storage Technology 13. One Ultra M.2 socket takes SATA or PCIe modules up to Gen3 x4 32 Gb/s, while a second M.2 socket is limited to SATA and a Key E slot serves Wi-Fi/BT modules; several SATA ports are shared with these M.2 sockets.

Dual Intel LAN and 7.1 audio

Networking uses two Intel controllers, the I218V and the I211-AT, giving two gigabit Ethernet ports. Audio is handled by the Realtek ALC1150 codec delivering 7.1 channels. The board also supplies USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 headers alongside two PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots for additional expansion cards.
