Foxconn DigitaLife X38A Motherboard Review

Mon 2008-03-31 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

X-bit Labs has just reviewed the Foxconn DigitaLife X38A motherboard.

Here’s what they had to say:

“As for its indisputable advantages, we should certainly point out excellent PCB layout, good accessories bundle, broad functionality of the Intel X38 Express chipset it is based on and diverse additional onboard controllers adding even more to this functionality. As for the drawbacks, the BIOS settings are a little confusing and the rotation speed adjustment for fans with three-pin connectors doesn’t work. The overclocking-friendly options the BIOS offers are very good, but prove useless, so the cooling efficiency of the Cool Pipe chipset cooling system will never be an issue, especially since it works just fine in nominal mode.”

This seems like a good motherboard, but the reviewer(s) was unable to overclock processors with it, and certainly not due to a lack of trying. However, TweakTown’s sample overclocked fine, so it seems like they just received a bad board. Nevertheless, keep this in mind if you are considering this product.
