Socket and chipset

The ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer is an ATX motherboard built around the Intel Z87 chipset and LGA 1150 socket. It accepts 4th generation Core i7, i5, i3, Xeon, Pentium and Celeron processors with Turbo Boost 2.0 support. The board targets enthusiasts who want overclocking headroom and gaming-oriented networking.

Memory and expansion checklist

Verify that your CPU cooler clears the four 240-pin DDR3 slots which support speeds up to 3050+(OC) and a maximum of 32 GB in dual-channel mode. Confirm your power supply provides the necessary ATX and CPU connectors for the three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots and four PCI Express x1 slots. Ensure your chassis can accommodate an ATX form factor before ordering.

Killer LAN and audio bundle

The onboard Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200 Series controller delivers 1 Gbps wired networking with traffic prioritisation for low-latency gaming. Realtek ALC1150 provides 7.1 channel high-definition audio for immersive sound. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 support complete the storage package.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Fatal1ty Z87 Killer and what must I buy separately?

The motherboard ships alone. You must supply a 4th-generation Core i7, i5, i3, Xeon, Pentium or Celeron processor for the LGA 1150 socket, up to four DDR3 DIMMs, a graphics card if the CPU lacks integrated graphics, storage drives for the six SATA 6Gb/s ports, a chassis, power supply and operating system.

Which memory speed should I choose from the listed DDR3 options?

The board supports DDR3 at 1066, 1333 and 1600 natively; speeds of 1866, 2133, 2400, 2800 and 3050 require overclocking. Pick a kit rated for your desired frequency and enable the matching XMP profile in the BIOS.

What does the three-slot PCI Express 3.0 x16 layout mean for my graphics cards?

The top slot runs at x16 alone. With two cards they operate at x8 and x8. With three cards the bandwidth splits to x8, x4 and x4 across the three slots.
