Ladies and gentlemen, may we present quite simply the greatest PC technology of 2014. COMPUTEX TAIPEI, the latest ICT exhibition in Asia, the major festival that all tech guys can never miss which is going to take place during 3rd to 7th this year. No matter you're a heavy gamer searching for shocking machines or a record-breaking overclocker looking for crazy gears or just interesting in discovering the latest tech products, ASRock's booth at L1018, 4F, Taipei World Trade Center, Nangang Exhibition Hall will serve you pretty well.
ASRock is all thrilled to present four different types of quality products lineup, including super-alloy components built Intel 9 Series motherboards, the award-winning gaming PC M8, Mini PC series, industrial PC series, and ASRock Rack Server/workstation series.
Stable & Reliable : Intel Super Alloy 9 Series Motherboards
ASRock 9 series Super Alloy motherboards provide great compatibility and fully support the 5th, New 4th and 4th Generation Intel Core Processors in Socket 1150. The product lines consist of the Extreme series for high-end PC, the Fatal1ty Killer Gaming series for elite gamers, and the OC Formula series for OC enthusiasts. The 9 series motherboard are specially designed with ASRock Super Alloy technology for more stabilities and reliabilities, including 12K Platinum Capacitors with the longest lifespan in the industry, the next-gen NexFET MOSFET, Dual-Stack MOSFETs (DSM), Premium Alloy Chokes, and XXL Aluminum Alloy Heatsinks. Clearly, ASRock has shown its ambition to redefine the horizon of motherboard craftsmanship.
Huge Breakthrough of Data Transfer Speed
Being the flagship of Extreme series, ASRock Z97 Extreme9 packs a PLX PEX 8747 Bridge and four PCIe 3.0 x16 slots to fully support the NVIDIA 4-Way SLI and AMD 4-Way CrossFireX multi-GPU technologies. Furthermore, Z97 Extreme9 has got another secret weapon - the Ultra M.2 PCIe Gen3 x4 socket. Ultra M.2 has not only the doubled bandwidth of PCIe Gen3 x4, but also an innovative direct linkage between the M.2 interface and CPU. The shorter signal route, the lower latency. This combo makes Ultra M.2 possess incredible read speed of 32 Gb/s, which is 6X faster than PCIe Gen2 x1 M.2. Meanwhile, Z97 Extreme9 also comes with two next-gen SATA Express connectors supporting data transfer speed up to 10Gb/s. There will be a live demo set up for delivering those awesome technologies straight to your eyes.
An Abundance of Unique Features
On the other side of the live-demo table, you will be fascinated immediately by the fierce appearance and massive red aluminum alloy heatsinks of Fatal1ty Z97X Killer, which just been honored with Best Choice Award 2014 of COMPUTEX! Fatal1ty Z97X Killer will display two of ASRock latest exclusive technologies, including HDD Saver and APP Shop. By adding a dedicated 4-pin HDD Saver Connector near the SATA ports, you can switch on and off the connected HDDs or ODDs via software when needed. HDD Saver Technology secures more privacy, saves more energy, and extends the HDDs' lifespan. In addition this HDD safeguard, ASRock also released APP Shop, an integrated and convenient platform that offers various apps and games for downloading. With this versatile platform, you can not only get the latest news and technologies from ASRock, but also optimize your system and keep your motherboard up to date very easily.
Meanwhile, Nick Shih's fast and furious Z97 OC Formula motherboard will wear its typical yellow and black speedsuit, plus an invisible layer of Conformal Coating for protecting the motherboard against conductive liquids, corrosion, dust and extreme temperatures. In addition, the former Connector Kit, Cooling Kit, Monitor Kit and Power Kits are also joined by a new member, the Jumbo V for adjusting CPU Vcore/Cache/VCCM voltage up to 3V.
Built on AMD A88X platform, FM2A88X Extreme6+ will showcase ASRock Cloud and make mobile devices connect to PC seamlessly. ASRock Cloud is a one-year subscription to Orbweb.ME Professional version, a personal cloud service which is $49.99 per year. It allows you to get connected with your PC's files, music, photos, and video clips remotely with tablets anytime, anywhere. Plus an additional one-month upgrade to Orbweb.ME Ultimate package with Remote Desktop function is also available. This is an exclusive free service for every ASRock user.
Mini PCs & An Award-Winning Gaming PC - M8
As for Mini PC series, ASRock M8, the iF Product Design Award 2014 winner, has won a COMPUTEX d&i Award 2014! This is not only a tremendous glory, but also a huge acknowledgement to the innovation and craftsmanship of ASRock. M8 is co-designed by ASRock and BMW Group DesignworksUSA. Its aesthetic design and powerful performance are surely going to charm everyone nearby. As if that wasn't enough, ASRock even made some upgrading works on M8, including the latest Z97 Mini-ITX motherboard, 12K Platinum Capacitors that offers industry's longest lifespan and Nichicon Fine Gold Series Audio Caps for better acoustic performance. Plus, this upgraded M8 is equipped with a 600W PSU for supporting high-end graphics cards like AMD R9 290X.
Led by M8, a lineup of HTPC will also welcome all visitors, including VisionX series, Vision HT series, and the MINI series that built on the latest Intel Bay Trail-D solution.
