Pros: Ran everything together well. Plenty of room for upgrades. This is a good mobo for 1st time builders like myself.

Cons: For the Ram it never says what slots to put them in so it's the 1 and 3 slots (starting at the cpu). Had a bit of a problem with a sata input, but all is well now.

Other Thoughts: Also I've heard about how Foxconn has bad customer support, but I had absolutely no problem when I contacted Foxconn about the sata input.

Pros: Have used several of these boards paired with Phenom II 925X4 clocked to 3.4-3.5Ghz The light blue and red Gskill Ripjaws DDR3 1333 (888-24) have used it with HD5770 and HD5850.Thie 5770 setups are scoring around 17,700 on 3dmark06 and the 5850 around 19,500.Either system is a performance per dollar monster.

Cons: Not gonna nit pick nothings perfect but this is a great board.

Other Thoughts: Have used at least 7 of these not 1 problem yet

Pros: Incredible Support Utilities
Super cool temps
Great BIOS
Easily Overclocked
Easy to Install


I love this board. Still not a single problem to date, and the utility that comes with it, flashed my BIOS for me to the most up to date version, without a glitch.

Cons: admittedly, foxconn is a little slow with their tech support, but you have to have patience, and actually know what your calling about and you won't have any problems, so it's not really to big of a con compared to MSI, who'll refuse to admit they forgot to install your sata ports.

Other Thoughts: I've been using foxconn and foxconn only for 5 years now across 15 different rigs i've built for people, and myself. They are amazing. Very user friendly, very stable, VERY FAST, and still cheap.

People who know motherboards, know foxconn.


Amazing, Amazing board.

Pros: Well it didn't fall apart, and was decently cheap

Cons: Didn't support advertised speed of DDR3-1333, Computer was unstable till Over-clocked processor by 10 mhz fsb. Tech support Hah, still haven't gotten an answer. CPU temp gauge stuck at 40C doesn't rise this causes CPU to overheat if using variable fan speed setting in bios. Turns out that is a bios problem.

Other Thoughts: other people complaining about issues with this motherboard, although hardware is sound the bios's released are horrible and i wouldn't recommend it until they fix it. Some people have gotten a hold of beta bios's that fix the 1333 support and the 40C temp problem but no official bios out yet

Pros: Everything on this board is excellent!!!

Cons: No cons yet

Pros: NONE

Cons: Worked about 2 months then died. Tried RMA, website nightmare, no phone. 3 Days just to get case ID and RMA form via email. Then had to call California # to get RMA before shipment, but NO ONE ANSWERS the phone.
Still stuck with dead mobo after many phone calls, and months later. My fault, should have stuck with ASUS or Gigabyte. Never buy Foxconn again

Other Thoughts: Foxconn RMA support missing in action. Warranty no good.

Pros: Great Board, I was lucky enough to get this when it was cheaper. No issues and I have my 955 clocked to 4.2, been running it since the board came out.

Cons: none

Pros: Looks nice seems stable if you can get windows to load correctly. The driver cd that came with works for the most part. Still had missing smbus drivers and can not find any as of yet.

Cons: My son bought this board for his first build. All ready thinking about another manufacturer for replacement. All ways have to load network connections manually as he moves his pc around to other locations. We needed to re-install windows twice to get it loaded correctly.

Other Thoughts: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO TO FOXCONNS WEBSITE BEFORE U BUY THIS PRODUCT AND DO A "TRIAL" DOWNLOAD OF DRIVERS. We spent the entire weekend trying to download his drivers and still have not gotten the chipset drivers to d/l without data corruption. It took 30 minutes to d/l 30mbs. Their website is the worst i have ever seen. You are lucky if you can even get web pages to load. If u buy any of foxconns products DO NOT expect any other driver updates. I feel sorry for the people that d/l updated bios versions. If you think you will never need driver updates then buy it but if you want a mobo that will give you ongoing support go somewhere else.
Foxconn should be ashamed of the support they give their customers. Myself and my son will never buy another Foxconn product and i am sure word of mouth will result in further customer loss. Good luck to the rest of you that need driver support later.

Pros: There's nothing wrong with this board at all and running windows 7 64-bit ultimate no problem! Everything runs just fine.

Cons: When clearing the cmos, watch out, for it's backwards..

Other Thoughts: A7DA-S 3.0 mainboard
800-watt "A-power" power supply
620 quad core processor
8800 gtx graphics card
1-terabyte western digital HD

Pros: Interesting OC utility software.

Cons: Crashed at bearly above the memory spec (1333 Mhz). Can't think of OC memory.
Very slow posting with a blank/black screen to stare at.

Other Thoughts: First time Foxconn, perhaps last time too. No wonder so many negative feedbacks here.
