Foxconn F1 Motherboard Prototype Preview

Hardware Secrets has posted an interesting look at a prototype Foxconn F1 motherboard.

Here’s what they had to say:

“During CES 2008 Foxconn showed us a prototype of a motherboard based on a non-revealed Intel chipset (probably Intel’s forthcoming P45 chipset) that will have four PCI Express x16 slots, allowing four video cards under CrossFireX using an Intel solution. It is not only that, this prototype – internally known as F1 – will come with a water-cooling solution to cool down the chipset and the transistors from the voltage regulator circuit, and below the north bridge block it has a thermoelectric cooler (TEC, a.k.a. “Peltier”).”

This is a high-end enthusiast motherboard if I’ve ever seen one! It will be interesting to see whether the F1 makes it to production relatively unchanged.
