ASRock desarrolló la primera placa base con formato first mini-ITX no solo compatible con el socket LGA2011 v3 sino que también incorporando los cuatro canales de memoria denominado EPC612D4I. Lo que sí tengamos en cuenta es va a ser una plataforma orientada a servidores por lo cual se espera que su costo sea muy elevado.
El EPC612D4I logra implementar el quad-channel al utilizar ranuras más chicas del tipo DDR4 SO-DIMM, en vez del tamaño estándar DIMM. Como una plataforma de alto rendimiento, soporta los procesadores Xeon E5-1600 V3 y E5-2600.
No tiene prestaciones de overclocking para el CPU porque utiliza el chipset Intel C612. En expansión dispone de una ranura PCI-Express 3.0 de 16x. Incluye cuatro puertos SATA III de 6 Gb/s y por si fuera poco la placa madre viene con soporte oficial y drivers para los sistemas operativos Windows 2012 R2/2008 R2 SP1, SuSE Server 11 SP3, RHEL 6.5, CentOS 6.5, Fedora 19, Ubuntu 12.10, y FreeBSD 9.2.
