Yes. Perfectly fine.So the qusstion is if its ok at 14125 for you? Max CPU temp reaches 51 C after 3 hours.

Pretty sure a guy in this forum or another peeled the "Extreme 6" sticker off a board recently and it actually said "Fatal1ty 990FX" underneath the sticker.
I don't see the problem.
Have you looked at the specs for the two boards? They're literally using identical components except for a few audio caps.
Yeah, as I understand it the EXT 6 was to be EURO only and then it showed up over here in North America. I imagine Asrock is off and on again about paying the royalty for that name and may not have such a good rep in some arenas. If it is a KILLER board then it has no CPU_LLC and that is a real bummer for overclocking. About like Gigabyte and so many of their newer AM3+ mobos.

Some people had a problem with it because it was advertised as a brand new board in the ASRock line up. The Fatal1ty Professional was supposedly a Crosshair wannabe while the Fata1lty Killer uses lower end components.

Yeah I get that about brand new. Companies PR most often just does not get it. Asrock saw no reason to throw good PCBs away when they made changes to the components to upgrade the to an EXT 6 or in a way make a cheaper EXT 9. Been awhile now for sure but at one time there were only a few places in China that could make the PCB. The mobo makes got in line to get their new PCB made up before they ran them thru the assembly lines to assemble the motherboard itself. A motherboard company can change the proficiency of a board with soldered on components and essentially bring to the game a new motherboard...but heaven help them if they put stickers over a name of an old board and call it new when users don't know what is really going on. Nothing much new in the AM3+ mobo build conditions in a long time. Just a juggling of Nics, VRMs and the like but we have companies saying it is all like new. Hehehe. Yeah right. Sort of glad Asus did the two big-boy boards with one revision change and they have stood the test of time so far.
Customer perception is the name of the game. If it were not so you would not see advertising in the media that hypes run of the mill products as the "king" of whatever.
RGone...ster.
And even on release it was noted that there were basically no differences between the boards.
As for the advertising part, what else would you call it besides "new" when you add a board to your lineup?
Don't you think a board with a different name underneath a sticker is straddling the border of being "shifty"?

If you have a board design that's literally the exact same with the exception of the LAN chip, audio caps, and heatsinks, why would you make a whole new PCB design?
Then call it the Fatal1ty 990FX Revision 1.1.
