The Quantum Force has descended and the Mars has arrived - with DFI engineers behind it, could this be the enthusiast motherboard to die for, or is it too little too late from Foxconn?

lol. Great quote.

As for the board; interesting. To be honest, I never really thought of Foxconns as OCers. I use their boards repeatedly for customer builds, as they're solid yet cheap boards. Aesthetically, I like the color layout on it.

The blacksite commercial covers some of the text. Admittedly this is on Firefox/Ubuntu

Only when you scroll over the advert with a mouse, it doesn't do it otherwise - we won't accept them if it's automatic.

Must be a problem with Firefox/Ubuntu because I have the same issue with the advertisement.
On topic...Foxconn has recently released some really exciting boards. No one ever thought of using Foxconn for overclocking up until a couple of years ago. Biostar has also been producing some really great overclockers.
