Fatal1ty-branded LGA1155 Motherboards in the Making
Leading professional gamer Fatal1ty has branded all kinds of PC hardware, including peripherals, headsets, sound cards, graphics cards, and even motherboards made by erstwhile Abit. Motherboards with the Fatal1ty branding are making a comeback, this time under the charge of ASUS. It is reported that a new manufacturer is designing some socket LGA1155 motherboards based on the Intel P67 chipset using the Fatal1ty branding. The company will show off its latest motherboards at CES 2011, which will also be the time when Intel unveils its 2011 Core processor family. Socket LGA1155 processors, coupled with Intel P67 platform is the key segment that targets gamers.
UPDATE: The board in question is made by ASRock, it's called Fatal1ty P67. It features a high-end VRM, 3-way NVIDIA SLI/CrossFire capability, a high-grade 16-phase digital CPU VRM, a unique USB port that automatically steps up polling rate of gaming mice, THX audio, four SATA 6 Gb/s, and two USB 3.0 ports. Fatal1ty detailed the board himself, in the TweakTown article linked below.

And I really liked eVGA, too.

:banghead:
Actually, I'm not that annoyed. AsRock make great boards with awesome innovation so I'll be interested to see how these boards turn out. As well as that red & black is my favourite colour scheme.
:rockout:
Anywho here is the closest I can get.
At least we know why they call him FATal1ty.
I don't know why so many of you are crying just because it got branded with some kid's name, it could be worse :laugh:
ASRock P67 Sarah Palin edition.
I think Sarah Palin is a GMILF.
It's one or the other, and neither makes my wallet happy.
-100 internet points to this
Also, the mentioned $250 price tagtells me it may be a good board, with $50 added on for "The Man".
I'll also reserve judgement on the final product itself. It actually interests me a fair bit, as it's the features that make or break a board, IMHO.
board looks nice yes, lets hope it will perform better than it looks, but again, its ASRock, when did they ever made exceptional performing boards
I pWnt failtality last year so bad he went into hiding for a while, seems the kid grew some ballz and decided to "come out to play-ee-yay" again.
.joke above.
So he wants to use his name on a few products, so what? Who cares? It's like you've been personally insulted by a leper. You people waste way too much time on something this silly. Grow up!
The fact that products with his brand on it tends to be ridiculously priced makes us care.
This is ruining a potentially great product.
