Z97 ATX motherboard for LGA 1150 CPUs

This ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer board uses the Intel Z97 chipset and fits LGA 1150 processors from Core i7 down to Celeron. It supports dual-channel DDR3 and DDR3L memory at speeds up to 3200 MHz when overclocked. The ATX form factor provides six SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports, one SATA Express 10 Gb/s connector and a single M.2 socket.

Gamers and builders needing legacy expansion

The board includes one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot running at x4, two PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots and two conventional PCI slots. That layout suits users who still run older sound cards, capture cards or other PCI devices. Builders who only need modern PCIe x1 and M.2 devices will find simpler Z97 boards with fewer legacy slots.

Realtek ALC1150 7.1-channel audio

Onboard sound is handled by the Realtek ALC1150 codec driving 7.1 channels. The implementation is marketed under the Purity Sound name with dedicated PCB layers and Japanese capacitors. If your workflow relies on external DACs or professional interfaces, the onboard codec is less relevant.

Questions about this item

Will this board take my LGA 1150 Core i5 and DDR3 memory?

Yes, the socket is LGA 1150 and the memory standard is DDR3 or DDR3L up to 32 GB in dual channel.

Can I run a SATA SSD and an M.2 SATA drive at the same time?

The M.2 socket shares lanes with the SATA Express connector and two SATA3 ports, so using M.2 SATA disables those two SATA ports.

What RAID modes does the onboard controller support?

The Intel Z97 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across the six SATA3 6.0 Gb/s connectors.
