90mm of height above the CPU socket is too restrictive for a decent cooler, Ideally ASRock would install a cooler in the chassis, for example like those used in many Shuttle SFF, The price is rather high, When the four 70mm fans run at full speed the nois
We first saw the ASRock M8 Z87 small form factor barebones in the second half of 2013 when it was reviewed by my colleague Luke Hill. This latest Z97 version is a relatively minor refresh with an update to Intel's latest Haswell compatible Z97 chipset. Th...

The ASRock M8 is a beautiful piece of design, both in terms of style and what it offers as hardware. It's a great foundation for a fairly portable and powerful gaming system. Gamers are probably the main target audience for this rig, but anyone interest...
Due to the fact that the Asrock M8 is a barebone system that can be configured with anything from an Intel Pentium G3220 (dual-core 54w TDP) to a Core i7-4790K (quad-core with HT, 88w TDP), not to mention the practically infinite range of GPUs that could ...
Affordable pricing, Everything you need except for drives, CPU, and VGA, all in one package, Huge capabilities inside a sleek and functional design, Support for nearly any VGA and Intel SKT 1150 CPU, Tiny size takes up a minimum of desk space, Fully-featu
Only supports SO-DIMM memory sticks, Limited aftermarket cooling compatibility due to size, Some assembly quality control issues, but nothing show-stopping, PSU can generate a fair amount of noise under high load, DVD/CD drive, not Bluray

Reasonably priced, the only game in town for a DIY
PSU is undersized for big cards, GPU tray is a little finicky

Small form factor systems that pack a punch is one of the ways this industry is moving forward. We only have to look at modern consoles and prebuilt systems like the Mac Pro to realize that people want everything smaller with no compromise in performance...

A gorgeous chassis that can house conventional enthusiast hardware in an unconventionally small space.
Not exactly the best value going while being harder to assemble and louder under load than we expected.
Asrock's M8 is a beautiful machine and we wanted to like it the moment we opened its box. In the end, the system left us with mixed feelings, even if its good looks and unorthodox layout kept us distracted from its shortcomings, which include a poorly wri...

Lacking any other barebones PC to compare, I built ASRock's M8 up as a competitor to Don's $1300 System Builder Marathon machine. And it did well, enjoying a 12.4% performance lead. There's still a matter of value though: A value loss of 3% is still a...

noisy sometimes
The ASRock M8 is a nice gaming barebone especially that it offers the choice of your own configuration. The chassis is built in steel and aluminum and sports 4 fans to cool the interior. It has room for a dual-slot graphics card, yet limited to 28cm, whil...
