Due to limited space, this board only features two DIMM-slots. Officially supported is DDR4 with up to 3200+ MHz. Also supported are Xtreme Memory Profiles (XMP) in version 2.0. If you equip both slots with 8 GB modules, rig with up to 16 GB memory can be assembled.
On the X99E-ITX/AC PCH as well as current converters receive separate cooling. Checking on the two VRM coolers we see there is no heatpipe connecting. Other than that the weight of this board is quite high, which is also partially due to cooling blocks. Subjectively speaking a high weight is a first indicator for a quality motherboard.
In total there are three fan headers on the ASRock X99E-ITX/AC which is enough, to provide a well equipped high-end system or also a workstation with fresh air. The fan headers are located around the CPU socket as well as spread over the motherboard. All headers offer 4 pins, which means that you can control fan speeds from within BIOS or Windows.
Looking at the external connectors directly at the back-panel ASRock equipped the X99E-ITX/AC with one PS2 mouse/keyboard connector, two USB 3.1 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, two gigabit ethernet ports, an eSATA connector as well as an optical out and an analogue audio panel. Furtheremore you'll also find a clear CMOS-reset button.

The the X99E-ITX/AC ASRock is conquering new land. No other motherboard vendor has an X99 based miniITX model in its portfolio. Overall ASRock did a good job, although there is simply not enough space to implement all features the massive X99 chipset offers. Therefore ASRock had to toss two DIMM slots and apart from that they're using an Narrow-ILM-type socket, which make the board only compatible to very few coolers. Nevertheless this little board leave an overall good impression. When it comes to performance you real world applications are not taking a significant hit from the smaller memory interface. Apparently it's only the theoretical memory bandwidth benchmarks, which show 50% lower performance. This in the end has quite an impact on our overall rating (average of all results), but as we mentioned, there is no noticable difference in realworld applications, since the memory interface acts as a bottleneck, which in this case is not at its limit. The storage flexibility you get with this tiny X99 motherboard is really good. This means there are enough SATA ports, there is a SATA Express header and there is also an Ultra-M.2 Slot. Also the I/O panel has been equipped with good mix of connectors. We like the fact, that there are eight USB connectors, including two USB3.1 headers. |

Layout | + | - | |
The ASRock X99E-ITX/AC's layout has been very well thought. Once more practical are the angled SATA connectors, but unfortunately there are no power- and reset-buttons. There is also no debug display which would have been very useful in case you should have issues with a component in your system or the board itself. Apart from that we like the fact, that there is an M.2 x4 slot, which allows for the installation of high-performance M.2 SSDs. |

Having a closer look at overall 2D as well as 3D performance shows that this board ranks last in both cases. The reason for that can be found in the memory bandwidth benchmarks, which are really pulling the average rating down, although not having a very small impact on real world performance. On another note we had a look at power consumption and it turns out that this board is quite a bit more power efficient than other models. | - Power consumption | - 3DMark Ice Storrm | |
Overclocking / BIOS | + | - | |
The BIOS of the X99E-ITX/AC is identical from what you get with other recent ASRock motherboards these days the only difference is the backgound color. This means the basic structure and also the design has not been changed. Overall 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 pushing hard did a pretty good job with this on but still, every here and there the performance could be improved. | - Clear arrangement - Sheer amount of options | ||
Recommendation | + | - | |
The ASRock X99E-ITX/AC is listed at geizhals for a price of 308 Euro. This makes it rather expensive if you consider that there are apparently not too many features. The price certainly reflects research and development costs, since it takes quite an effort to build such a compact high-end boar. If you want to build an X99 based ITX system then there is no way around this board, since (until today) there is no other miniITX X99 motherboard available. | - High-Performance-MiniITX | ||
