I often wonder what these guys are thinking. Go to all the bother of these boards, and they obviously go to some effort to make them look ''cool'', and then do dumb ass things like that. Asus seem to be really bad for it, I have a P5Q P45 and they put the damn 20pin power connector right above the graphics card slot.

WHY!?

I'm not sure what to do really. Performance so far seems to be rather average. If it doesn't hold a significant advantage over the yorkfields, I think I'll get a SLB8V q9550. Too bad lately all the q6600 are crappy clockers. They have problems getting above 3GHz, mine does 3.6 without breaking a sweat. With its 1.3V VID it isn't even one of the great chips

Foxconn x58 rennissance, with speaker, looks pretty good. Selling price of 250. The one to get from foxconn is going to be the bloodrage. Let's see MB 250 DDR3 250 i7 900. I need to start saving.

Core i7 920 costs ~300 just OC it a bit and it is as good as the 965

I heard DX11 will bring much better support for multi-core CPUs and we know that Nehalem pwns with its HT in that sector. (8 threads) That's it...
I will wait till autumn when uni starts and get a badass Nehalem system. Better start saving hard till then. (job after army?)

Intel Core i7 920 300
socket 1366 cooler 55
Asus P6T Deluxe 250

HD 5870 X2 ?? 400
Steelpad Siberia headset 50
Steelpad QcK mousepad 12
Logitech G5 mouse 55

sounds like a plan

That would fit perfectly my red theme pc. And looks like to be REALLY awsome board. Almost perfect layout, great PWM and kickass looks. Probably OC's really well too.
And bundles with XONAR sound card!

too bad the price will be high and availability of Foxconn is pretty much none in Finland.

If I find this board from Finland with price less than 400€, consider it sold Foxconn.

Otherwise I get Asus P6T Deluxe.

Foxconn ha s some very reliable mobos that OC extremely well. Was thinking of getting one when I was building my PC the last time. Interesting in this case that they installed only 3 RAM slots and one of the PCI slots has a very odd positioning.

only bad thing about the pci-e layout is that it doesn't support 3-way SLi. But I can never afford that anyway.

The PCI-e 1x slot is in right position so u can use pci-e sound card, pci card and crossfire/sli.
The reason why there are only 3 slots is that it helps overclocking. Better have one stick / channel. Foxconn has decided to use some super quality stuff on the PWM as well.

If I remember correctly this board's bundle is well worth the extra 100€ compared to the P6T Deluxe.

UK Price list for currently released X58 motherboards. But fuck me, 375 pounds for a motherboard? And the cheapest you can get one is 220 pounds. That used to be able to get you the best of the best motherboards back with the X48 series.

And what the fuck is going on with that speaker as a northbridge cooler on the Foxconn?
