We’ve taken a look at the middle and the high-end, and today, we get a look at the entry-level (although not perfectly entry-level) X299 motherboard from ASRock, the ASRock X299 Killer SLI/ac. That name might give the wrong impression; there are no KillerNIC controllers present on THIS motherboard; rather, we’ve got a tasty Intel i219V LAN controller on this board.

With a price equal to the MSI X399 Pro Gaming Carbon AC there is tight competition for your money if you’re wanting something to squeeze your Threadripper CPU into, but the folks at ASRock have picked up the gauntlet of high performance and rich feature sets and seen about planting themselves firmly in the group of companies at the top of the motherboard chain.

Maximising upon the CPU’s peripheral potential and building around that huge, 4,094-pin socket and eight DIMM slots requires solid research and development. MSI tips its hat into the ring with the Gaming Carbon Pro AC, priced at £325 or so.

Equipped with Triple M.2 with Thermal Guard, 120dB SNR ALC1220, Killer E2500 Gaming Network, Front & Rear USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, Intel Dual Band 802.11ac WiFi+BT4.2, and so much RGB lighting, we could write a whole review just about that. This motherboard is crammed with hardware, and so much so, we doubt most users would even need or use it all. Of course, it’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
