Features
ASRock Killer Series features the Killerâ„¢ E2200 Intelligent Networking
Platform is built for maximum networking performance for online games and
high-quality streaming media. Featuring Advanced Stream Detectâ„¢, Killer E2200
automatically detects and accelerates game traffic ahead of other network
traffic for smoother, stutter-free in-game performance and the competitive edge.
With this exclusive, automatic traffic prioritization, games and real-time chat
get priority over low-level system chatter, giving you the lowest latency for
game data on the most controllable network hardware available.
5X Network Performance
Boost networking performance up to 5X for time-sensitive UDP (User Datagram
Protocol) based applications, such as online games and high-quality media
streaming.
Killer Network Manager
Use Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Manager to classify and prioritize
online games, HD video and high quality audio for better quality and fewer
interruptions in your online experience.
See which applications are hogging bandwidth and tune performance for each,
so they don't interfere with your online gameplay or other streams. Monitor and
manage the health and performance of your gaming rig with graphical displays,
detailed logging and complete redesigned user interface.
M.2 Socket (PCI-E Gen2 x2/SATA)
ASRock’s motherboard is the world’s first and only motherboard that
implements a Gen2 x2 M.2 socket. The onboard M.2 socket is a new interface for
connecting Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) solid state drives or other
devices with a smaller and more flexible physical specification, together with
more advanced features.
Each M.2 card is identical in width (22 mm) and thickness (approximately 3
mm), they differ only in length. ASRock’s M.2 motherboard supports all 42 mm, 60
mm, 80 mm and 110 mm versions, offering flexible options to satisfy users’
various needs.
ASRock’s motherboard supports M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s modules and M.2 PCI
Express modules up to Gen2 x2 10 Gb/s, which is 2X faster compared to other
M.2 Gen2 x1 solutions that are limited to 5 Gb/s. It pushes your NGFF SSDs to
their limits while reducing tons of load time and boosting overall
performance.
Based on stringent CrystalDiskMark read tests conducted by our
engineers, we have proved that with the new M.2 SSDs our PCIe M.2 interface is
3X faster than the SATA M.2 interface!

This frequency response chart was tested with 32 ohm normal headphones. It
indicates how traditional audio solutions frequency response drops drastically
at low frequencies. Compared to traditional audio solutions (2.0dB) at 20 Hz
bass low freq area, Purity Sound still maintains its frequency response (0.4dB)
and provides better bass with the TI NE5532 amplifier,
improving the bass quality by 20% (1.6dB)!

Key Master
What good is a weapon if you are unable to wield it proficiently? Key
Master consists of two major features, Sniper Key and Macro Key. It can enhance
your mouse and keyboard with customizable macros, sniper modes, key repeat rates
and repeat delay, turning your boring old keyboard and mouse into lethal
weapons. Key Master may be prohibited by some games. We suggest disabling Key
Master if it violates the game's end user license agreement.
Sniper Key - Use Sniper Key to shift the mouse speed when you're in sniper
mode, it will greatly sharpen your accuracy.

Macro Key - Tired of those repetitive keystrokes? Create your own set of
keyboard hotkeys and macros with Macro Key to save the trouble.

Fatal1ty Mouse Port
Fatal1ty Mouse Port is a customizable technology for PC gamers that is a
part of F-Stream. After plugging the USB mouse into the Fatal1ty Mouse Port and
running F-Stream, gamers can use Fatal1ty’s personal preferred mouse polling
rate at 500 Hz. F-Stream also provides the flexibility for gamers to adjust the
mouse polling rate from 125 Hz to 1000 Hz. This is helpful for professional
gamers to experience smoother game play and faster response time.
Limitation:
1. Some USB mice may not support 1000 Hz mouse polling rate.
2. The
Fatal1ty mouse port does not support USB 2.0 mouse.
3. The Fatal1ty mouse
port may not support some wireless USB mice.
4. The Fatal1ty mouse port does
not support the USB mouse which is connected to the USB hub.
F-Stream
F-Stream is Fatal1ty's multi purpose software suite with a new interface,
more new features and improved utilities, including Key Master, Fatal1ty Mouse
Port, EZ OC, Auto Tuning, XFast RAM, OC Tweaker, System Browser, Live Update,
Tech Service and a whole lot more!
Premium Gold Caps
This motherboard uses Premium Gold Caps that are 100% made in Japan. These
solid capacitors are sleek, high gloss caps with a premium gold coating that
represents its long lasting durability and ultra stable performance.
8+2 Power Phase Design
Designed with a 8+2 Power Phase design, this motherboard features sturdy
components and completely smooth power delivery to the CPU. Hence, this
motherboard offers unmatched overclocking capabilities with the best system
stability, plus enhanced performance with the lowest temperature for advanced
gamers and extreme overclockers.
Digi Power
More Precise, More Efficient
Unlike traditional motherboards that use analog power, this motherboard
uses a next generation digital PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) design, which
provides CPU Vcore voltage more efficiently and smoothly, so that the stability
and lifespan of the motherboard is greatly enhanced.
DTS Connect
Tired of listening to crappy audio that makes your ears bleed? Experience
high-quality surround sound from your personal computer. DTS Connect is a
blanket name for a two-part system, including DTS Interactive and DTS Neo:PC, it
is used on the computer platform only, in order to convert PC audio into the DTS
format.
DTS, DTS-HD, the Symbol, & DTS or DTS-HD and the Symbol together are
registered trademarks of DTS, Inc. DTS, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
FAN-Tastic Tuning
Configure different fan speeds for respective temperatures using the graph.
The fans will automatically shift to the next speed level when the assigned
temperature is met.
Easy Driver Installer
For users that don’t have an optical disk drive to install the drivers from
our support CD, Easy Driver Installer is a handy tool in the UEFI that installs
the LAN driver to your system via an USB storage device, then downloads and
installs the other required drivers automatically through the internet.
Completely no CD or optical disk drive required!
UEFI Tech Service
Contact ASRock Tech Service by sending a support request from the UEFI
setup utility if you are having trouble with your personal computer. Users may
try to choose the category of the issue they have encountered, describe the
problem in detail, and then attach an optional picture or log file for our
technical support team.
USB Key
In a world where time is money, why waste precious time everyday typing
usernames to log in to Windows? Why should we even bother memorizing those foot
long passwords? Nobody has time for that! Just plug in the USB Key and let your
computer log in to windows automatically!
Fast Boot
With ASRock’s exclusive Fast Boot technology, it takes less than 1.5
seconds* to logon to Windows® 8 from a cold boot. No more waiting! The speedy
boot will completely change your user experience and behavior.
The boot time may vary with a different configuration.
OMG
Limit and control your children's time spent on the internet. ASRock OMG
(Online Management Guard) technology allows you to establish an internet curfew
or restrict internet access at specified times. Administrators are able to
schedule the starting and ending hours of internet access granted to other
users.
Restart to UEFI
Fast Boot is so fast that it is impossible for users to enter the UEFI
setup utility during POST. Therefore, ASRock Restart to UEFI technology allows
users to easily enter the UEFI setup utility automatically when turning on the
PC next time. It is designed for those who constantly need to enter the UEFI
setup utility.
Dehumidifier
Dampness kills most electronics, so
it's a better idea to keep your personal computer dry. Now users may prevent
motherboard damages due to dampness by enabling Dehumidifier. When it is
enabled, the computer will power on automatically to dehumidify the system after
entering S4/S5 state.
XFast RAM
ASRock XFast RAM fully utilizes the memory space that cannot be used under
Windows® 32-bit operating systems. It shortens the loading time of previously
visited websites, making web surfing faster than ever. And it also boosts the
speed of Adobe Photoshop 5 times faster. Another advantage of ASRock XFast RAM
is that it reduces the frequency of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to
extend their lifespan.
