Initial Setup
Getting this ASRock board installed and running is simply as you would expect: easy. The lighting provided is very minimal, but still present, eminating from the POST display and onboard buttons.
Once the OS was installed and ready to rock (as in having the drivers, software, and benchmarks all where they have to be), I captured my usual CPU-Z screenshot. As a gaming-oriented product, the ASRock Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7 does really well and behaved as one might expect.
