Test: Foxconn Blackops - UK

Introduction

Foxconn are really making an efford these days to make themselves seen in the PC enthusiast community. The combined engineering staff are bending over backwards to find new ways of buliding a motherboard, and impress even the most hardcore users. To obtain this you grab an Intel X48 chipset, the very best components you can find, and add some very advanced chipset cooling. The Blackops motherboard is capable of using any method of cooling between passive and liquid nitrogen.

We are of course very interested in finding out wether or not the effords have paid off. On the next couple of pages we will take a closer look at Foxconn Blackops, and fire it up for some serious benchmarking.
