Hardware Secrets has posted an interesting look at another prototype Foxconn motherboard, the Blackops.

Here’s what they had to say:

“During CES 2008 Foxconn displayed the prototypes of two motherboards targeted to overclockers: F1, which we have already talked about here, and Blackops. Blackops is based on the forthcoming Intel X48 chipset, have three PCI Express x16 slots, a myriad of overclocking options and a cooler that refrigerates the chipset and the transistors from the voltage regulator circuit that can operate as a simple passive cooler, as a water cooler or adapted to accept dry ice or liquid nitrogen. Sounds impressive? Read on.”

Wow, this DDR3 motherboard makes the aggressive F1 appear almost bland in comparison. It will be interesting to see whether it overclocks as well as it looks.
