Nakon recenzije Asusove X299 ploče, na red za test je došla i ASRockova Fatal1ty X299 Gaming K6 namijenjena novim Intelovim Core X procesorima. Baš kao i kod Asusa riječ je o ulaznom modelu u ponudi, pa su te dvije ploče i direktno usporedive. ASRockova donosi trostruki M.2 slot, Dual gigabitni LAN, USB 3.1, Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 3 softver, podršku za Optane tehnologiju, RGB LED osvjetljenje, Super Alloy dizajn 11-fazne VRM jedinice itd.

Kao što smo rekli, ovo je ulazni ASRockov X299 model i iznad njega su još tri ploče u trenutnoj ponudi – X299 Taichi (popularna Tajči), Fatal1ty X299 Professional gaming i9 i X299 Killer SLI/ac. Naš testni model dolazi u tower kutiji s ručkom na vrhu, a unutar nje je ploča zaštićena u debljoj crnoj kartonskoj kutiji. Na vanjskom se omotu mogu vidjeti svi detalji i sve tehnologije s kojima je ploča opremljena, pa kupac odmah može vidjeti ima li sve što on treba.

Bundle nije naročito bogat, te ASRock očito čuva bogatiju opremu za skuplje ploče. Sastoji se od dvije knjižice s uputstvima, naljepnice, medija s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, jednog 3-way i jednog 2-way SLI mostića, zaštite za stražnji I/O panel, četiri SATA kabela i tri vijka za M.2 sockete. Kao i obično, ASRock svoju ploču dodatno štiti u stiro-pjeni za koju je i pričvršćena plastičnim vezicama.

Ploča je standardnih ATX dimenzija i zapravo je vrlo čistog i jednostavnog dizajna. Mat crni je PCB prošaran sivom bojom, koja je naglašena na M.2 socketima i nadopunjuje vrh strelice na hladnjaku X299 čipseta. Konektori i utori s crni, s metalnim oklopima na tri PCIe utora koji razbijaju crne tonove. Hladnjaci su aluminijski, s gunmetal bojom, a zanimljivo je kako su nalijepljene izbočene X299 i ASRock Fatal1ty oznake na njima.

Layout je logičan i vrlo dobar, sa svim elementima posloženim tamo gdje trebaju biti. Jedino je možda bilo nepotrebno smjestiti horizontalno USB 3.0 konektor koji je odmah iznad SATA utora. Kabeli za USB 3.0 konektore u kućištima su dosta kruti pa je vertiklana orijentacija bolja, unatoč tome što kabel malo opstruira protok zraka. Sve ostalo je kako treba biti, a na ploči se nalazi i dovoljno 4-pinskih konektora za ventilatore – pet.

Zanimljivo, ASRock je dio elemenata odlučio prebaciti na donji dio ploče pa tu nalazimo Nuvotonov Super I/O kontroler i ASMedijn 1074 USB3.0 kontroler. Pločica koja je sastavni dio LGA2066 mehanizma je masivnije građe, a oba su hladnjaka na ploči za nju pričvršćena vijcima.
