It's rare that companies give free CPU cooler.

My concern is that processors like i7-5960X, it's really hot. It's overclockable but sure it's also not sustainable by a heatsink that size.

Probably have to settle for the lesser processors.

i am happy about asrock's innovations. however x99 in an m-itx form imo is wasting a lot of extendability. (i.e. more ram slots, more pcie slots. maybe i cannot afford to do that yet hehe)

x99 is the chip that i will go for, but i will get atx or e-atx for long-term use.

i jz bought a h97 anniversarry...
is dat a gd board?
btw...
i saw it jz less a heatsink compare to other h97 range rite?

Your definition of a good board?

Oh man,that's a lot of USB ports and PCIe 2.0 x1 slots.

I'm urgently looking for original 3.5" ASRock USB 3.0 Front Panel exactly like pic below, used to come in certain ASRock motherboard bundle last time. Have searched high and low (Low Yat plaza etc), in the end manage to purchase similar one (oem) online, however wished the qc and finish were much better. Hope could find this ASRock version one, if anyone got this new or used in good condition to let go pls pm me! =)

I mean how does it perform comparing h97m,h97m pro4 & h97m anni?
Basically wat i see from d official web is h97m does have asrock super alloy,but h97m anni dun have...
I jz nid 1 pci-e slot...

Perform?Motherboard doesn't have performance like more FPS or less FPS..

It'll be fine..unless luck isn't on your side.

1. To cater for some people who want small form factor power house.
2. To make it to the news.

Thank you for supporting us.

The difference is processor based, chipset affects very little.

Wow looks like some really old stuff!

Nowadays most casings already come with USB 3.0 connection front / top panel.

i have to agree that these are honest answers

by the way if possible please consider selling usb-c addon cards separately. it's good for asrock users.

That's absolutely right.. only thing is because my old CM Sniper tower is still awesome to replace (design, transparent side panel, etc) so this front panel is exactly what i needed.

Last check with ASRock HQ - no plans to sell separately but will highlight to them the feedback.

Thank you for supporting us!

CM.Storm should take note of this user feedback too! hehe.

sweet thanks a lot. although i am out of slots i still wanna keep one hehe

Thank you for the tag, really appreciate it
Will definitely take note of that for this coming feedback.

Nobody in Malaysia so far can sell me a ASRock X99 WS motherboard even though you can find a few people in this forum listing it in their price list. lingloong from dotatech quoted me a price but went quiet after I asked for account details to bank in the deposit so that I can order the board. The rest just said not available even though some of them have it in their price list and ETechPC even has a lelong page selling the motherboard even though I've been told they also won't be able to sell me the motherboard. Amazing.

Nobody in Low Yat is selling it and all of them wouldn't even care to check with their supplier if it can be ordered without me asking them to do it (nobody called me back to quote me a price or tell me if it indeed can be ordered by the way). ASRock Malaysia is almost of no help. Only AMT so far is able to sell me the X99 WS but the minimum order is 5 pieces at RM1444. I do not need 5 pieces, I only need one. Almost a month and I still can't buy this motherboard. What a royal pain in the ass to buy an ASRock X99 motherboard here in Malaysia.
