They have Super Alloy technology and the LGA 1150 socket for Intel Haswell CPUs

I wrote about ASRock's collection of 9-series motherboards before, at least in part, but the products didn't go up for sale right away.

Now, though, the motherboard should be up for order, since the company has even set up a microsite for them.

The newcomers are known as the ASRock 9 series Super Alloy motherboard line due to the use of Super Alloy technology.

The technology consists of 12K Platinum Caps, NexFET MOSFET (lower temperatures, higher efficiency, better ESD protection), Dual-Stack MOSFET For CPU Power (low temperature, efficient power delivery), Premium Alloy Chokes (magnetic and heat resistance), and XXL Aluminum Alloy Heatsink Design (greater heat dissipation than on other mainboards).

Depending on the sort of computer you want to build, you will have to choose between the Extreme series for high-end PC or the Fatal1ty Killer Gaming series for elite gamers, as the company describes them.

The newcomers were designed for the newest Haswell processors that Intel unveiled last month and that will start shipping in a week or so. There are 27 desktop chips spread across the Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Celeron, and Pentium lines, though the Core line is the only one that will really demand the sort of specs that the new ASRock platforms boast.
