Funky Kit Review: Foxconn P67A-S motherboard

We have been a long time supporter of Foxconn from their meager entry into retail motheboards to the height of their overclocking adventures.  What we have determined over the years is that they always mean well but sometimes miss their mark.

Case in point the P67A-S, this is a great board for the Sandy Bridge platform but is rather limited when it comes to overclocking and multi GPU support.

In this review, we'll be taking a look at the Foxconn P67A-S motherboard. It utilises the Intel P67 chipset, which we all know has been released at the same time to complement perfectly with Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors socket LGA 1155. The motherboard supports dual channel DDR3 channel memory, SATA3, USB 3.0, and dual PCIE x16 slots for Nvidia SLI or CrossfireX multi-GPU configuration.

The Foxconn P67A-S is aimed and targeted at the higher-end of the mainstream market, and comes with some suprising features which are normally found on higher-end enthusiast motherboards. These include solid capacitors, digital PWM, a 2-digit debug diagnostic LEDs, as well as onboard power-on and reset buttons. The motherboard uses a black colored PCB, and there's also a unique looking heatsink that somewhat resembles a shark-fin.

We did get a chance to review the Foxconn P67A-S during the Sandy Bridge and P67A launch, be sure to check it out.
