Foxconn's next Quantum Force mobo looks like it might make an impression on the market the company is so desperate to get into.

that 'waterblock' can't act as a very good heatsink under air, the fins on the base are tiny.

but enough of all that, are you having fun in vegas timmy (assuming ur still there)?

I possibly misunderstood, but this isn't quite the final design - it's about 2 months away from launch.

Tiredness is starting to kick in... sleep is for the weak as they say, so I gotta stay strong.

Well, it'll be good enough for those only wanting a mild boost, or those who inherit the board after it's no longer the latest or greatest.

I know around here, new hardware usually gets bought by my roommate, I'll buy it when he upgrades, and what gets upgraded usually goes to all the parents. Seems to work pretty good for all of us.

To think I'm just down the road from CES and more importantly across the border in Yermo California, I'll be waiting for more info as It's put online.

liratheal · 8th Jan 2008, 07:23

I'll actually be interested in this board.

Looking forward to a review, try to get some water involved BT :B

Im pretty interested tbh, would of bought the Mars as well if it was about £20 cheaper, as long as its not stupidly priced and gets a good review from you guys its got a pretty good chance of finding its way into my system

Cthippo · 9th Jan 2008, 04:46

This is probably a dumb question, but whatr are those red, white and blue connectors down the left side of the board? eSATA? USB? I don't think i've seen a connector like that before???

Just got lucky and purchased the Foxconn Blackops for $140 shipped from Newegg! From what I see this is the best board for under $200!. My question is.... What memory works best with this board with a Q9650 chip set ? 'm looking at Cosair or OCZ! On a budget of about $1,000 to 1,200! Please help!!
