Foxconn A7DA-S Motherboard Review – AMD 790GX Chipset

“The Foxconn product itself then. Excellent build quality, good layout. I liked it. Though I feel that it's a bit of a flaw that it lacks digital audio output. Surely this could have been done easily and HDMI will carry that digital signal, and most HTPC users prefer a SPDIF/TOSLINK connector ... by far. As stated the layout is good, we spot nice passive cooling, HDMI/DVI/VGA connectors, plenty of connectivity, the small micro switches to quickly power-on and off your mainboard. Really, I like what I see here. Obviously with this mainboard you also will be able to utilize CrossFireX as you'll get two X16 PCIE slots.

The 790GX mainboard will cost you roughly 125 USD. For the money you get a very decent set of options and features, the performance is quite interesting as well. It's very recommended if you do not plan to do anything crazy tweaking wise. Baseline performance is just really good. The performance is and feels snazzy fast and speedy and everything ran absolutely stable.”
