Foxconn F1

This thing looks crazy. It is probably the dream come true for people with water-cooled systems.

thats pretty insane and there are a couple of things I *really* like about that mobo layout. Top on the list - thats just about the closest to perfect I've seen a 3 or 4 way SLI/CF setup done - IMO all other options I've seen are very close together. Granted it doesn't look like you can have too many other components hooked up but at least the vid cards aren't choking each other.

I can't remember now where I saw it but IIRC there was also a prototype board floating around that came with a pot for LN2 or dry ice cooling and was easy for water hook up

I like this board but I'm not ready to jump into water-cooling just yet...

LOL i already commented about this board on the CES page.

Its massive and it looks like the barbs are pointed off the rear of the board.

i dont understand why they would do that when internal builds are the blingist. I guess its still production beta.


But i was calculating the cooling requirements for something this massive and i come out with this.

You would need at least 2 MCR-320's for 4 high end cards like that. Thats just GPU side.

Then you would need a 2MCR220's one for the cpu. and a MCR220 for the board.

LOL.... how you like that kind of setup. Talk about super massive.




ahaha.. sorry dont have much time lately to troll the forums. I go in and look for keywords like water, and then come out. Also look for builds where people give wrong advice and addin. Im working on the CM690 guide. I finished step1 need 2 and 3. So far theres a lot of editing needed.

ddr memory? i would at least think its ddr3, if not ddr2.

 

[Tempered81]

wonder if this thing supports P45 NB CrossfireX quad card 8-gpu 4xR680's?

that would have to be a typo...

You're probably thinking of the Foxconn BlackOps. It's got an...unusual?...BIOS, to put it mildly. (more pics)
