Question This board is.. too good to be true? (Foxconn Blackops)

http://www.foxconnchannel.com/produc...D=en-us0000385

This board is only £70-80 in the uk, and the spec is awesome? Whats up with that? Is this secretly a rubbish board?


Can someone please shine some light on this?

It looks good, but seems to suffer from RAM issues.

Wrong use of "too" Its just "to"

Plus yes, It is a great board. It was the "top line" for a bit.

Do you have any idea how many people will start yelling at me if I bump this thread in 40 years?

It's just tech that is phasing out. Of course it will be cheap.

No, he was correct.

But looking at the Newegg reviews, it's 23% at 1 egg, and most are bios or RAM issues it looks like.

Might be too good to be true, or just good enough for the price. Although I got mine for the same price and I've had no problems with it.

Yeah, I'm also pondering wether to get the 750i (an EVGA750iFTW) over this, It will definately get an e8500 to 4GHz..
