Power, Heat And Efficiency

With half as many memory channels, fewer slots and a voltage regulator that ASRock said is designed for better efficiency, the X99E-ITX/ac draws a little less power than its microATX rivals.

An overall performance deficit of less than one percent allows the X99E-ITX/ac’s reduced power to translate almost directly into increased efficiency.
