Lets start with the negatives. The X99E-ITX/ac is an expensive motherboard. At £230, it's one of the pricier X99 boards we've tested. The Maximus VII Impact costs around £150, which is pricey, but not rediculous for a Z97 motherboard, however the X99E-ITX...

The ASRock X99-ITX/ac motherboard is a difficult product to describe, basically because there's nothing else quite like it! That in itself makes it special, but what makes it even more special is that not only is it unique, it's simply a damn good mother...

Support for the HaswellE CPU range and up to 18core Xeon processors on a miniITX motherboard, Strong overclocking performance – as good as fullsized LGA 20113 motherboards, Plenty of connectivity and highspeed networking options, PCIe 3.0 x4 (32Gbps) Ultr
More widespread support for AIO liquid coolers would be welcomed, Memoryintensive workloads may be hampered by dualchannel memory.
The ASRock X99E-ITX/ac mini-ITX motherboard serves as proof that Intel's HEDT platform does not necessitate the use of physically larger hardware. ASRock has overcome a major engineering hurdle in tremendous style, by offering the first mITX board to be e...
the structure is easy to understand and even if you're not a very experienced user you will find the things you'd like to change On another note ASRock is dedicated and ing hard did a pretty good job with this on but still, every here and there the perfo...

The X99E-ITX/ac combines the compactness of Mini ITX with the computing prowess of a Haswell-E CPU. A two-DIMM limit that seems restrictive by X99 standards is standard in Mini ITX, and our benchmark prove that more bandwidth is rarely needed. Being b...
Good feature set, Form factor works well, Very solid performance, Above average BIOS
Supplied CPU fan can get noisy
With the X99E-ITX/ac board ASRock has gone out to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Shoehorning the large, powerful X99 platform into a Mini-ITX form factor isn't high on most motherboard manufacturers' priority lists, but in keeping with recent traditi...
The most powerful ITX motherboard on the market (at time of review), Looks pretty good, Supports Haswell-E CPUs as well as Xeons; the server counterparts, Features the new USB 3.1 Type A ports, Built in Wi-Fi capability as standard, Doesn't sacrifice on
ILM LGA 2011-3 socket is very awkward for those with planned cooling methods in mind, Power connector placements may cause incompatibility in some small form factor cases, A little on the pricey size, Only supports DDR4 in dual channel (not a big deal th
Some might say an ITX board for such a high-grade enthusiast platform is pointless; I really beg to disagree. Everything is better small, well not everything but you get the idea; small form factor geeks have probably already made their mind up about this...

UEFI interface, performance, overclocking, power consumption, accessories, price/performance ratio
cooler compatibility
I like testing motherboards and as an overclocker I enjoy pushing the CPU and RAM as far as possible. That's why I am using top of the line boards for that. ASRock X99E-ITX/ac is a mini-ITX motherboard that is not dedicated to overclocking but capable of...
The ASRock X99E-ITX/ac is an odd motherboard, but sometimes odd is good. Its diminutive footprint is simply impressive considering the powerhouse that it actually can be with the right hardware. We are not sure who wants to buy this motherboard or why, bu...
X99 in the Mini-ITX form factor, SATA Express and Ultra M.2 support, WiFi + Bluetooth module, USB 3.1 (Type A), Solid performance
Limited to dual-channel memory, CPU cooler is loud and does not perform that well
The most obvious drawback when it comes to performance is that you are limited to a dual-channel memory setup and only a single PCI-Express slot. Now if you are able to get past those two things the only other drawback is the included CPU cooler. To be fa...
