The Foxconn Destroyer is ready to be the flagship of your gaming system. This ATX motherboard is ready to deliver the firepower with the latest AMD Phenom Quad Core processors with HyperTransport 3.0 which increases the overall bandwidth between the CPU and other system components. Other Socket AM2 Athlon and Sempron CPU's are supported as well.
Deliver a devastating graphics salvo with 2- and 3-way SLI or 4-way graphics through the four PCI-e ports. Get incredibly playable framerates even at a 2560x1600 resolution. Onboard 7.1 channel HD audio with low ESR capacitors delivers outstanding audio fidelity – even in the high ranges.
Since one never leaves well enough alone, advanced users can take advantage of the Quantum BIOS functionality with a user-friendly menu that allows you to tweak a wide variety of settings. Up to 8GB of 4 dual-channel DDR2 RAM can be installed. Six SATA2 drives can be controlled – with RAID functionality available. Expand your options with six USB 2.0 ports, a pair of FireWire jacks and an ATA 333 slot along with Gigabit Ethernet LAN. Seek and destroy your opponents with the Destroyer.

Fine Board
- Pros: Board is rock solid with 9950BE..in spite of the fact that info from Foxconn never really says it will support the 9950 quad core. running the board at 2.6 default on the cpu and am gradually increasing the Voltage to see if cpu heating is effected. 31C avg--boots at 26C--have not seen it over 37C even after and during heavy gaming time. Everything works great except(see cons) on board
video. Easy install and good positioning on board for everything. Bios is over run with OC settings: multipliers, voltages, ram settings etc etc
Appears system will end up at 3.0 with no appreciable temp negs.
- Cons: Running a single Nvidia EVGA GTX 280--Had to disable the on board video in intense gaming in DirectX 10 to avoid--get this; yellow or white or grey screen of death. System would lock and require reboot. When Physix is finally written in to games and drivers, this will probably be fixed. Bios will NOT let you disable the onboard video--have to do it in device manager.
- Other Thoughts: System Info:
Vista Ultimate 64bit
Lian Li Armorsuit
EVGA GTX 280
8 gigs of 1066 Mushkin(bios sees it all)

Lite-on dvd and Lite-on divd r/w/rw
Dell 30 inch monitor
Logitech g-15 Keyboard, G5 Logitech mouse and Flexiglow gamepad
Silverstone 800 watt PS
All the above from Newegg except the Ultra cpu cooler from Frozencpu.
As Usual, the stuff from Newegg arrives before the tracking number..Newegg continues to be the very best!
amazing!
- Pros: ROCK solid board! didn't have ANY problems installing it with my vista machine, just took my old 550 motherboard out put this one in OS started as if nothing happened (except for drivers etc. but that's the least of my worries...)
Got my AMD 6000+ OC'd to 3.5Ghz on air, my old motherboard was only capable of 3.3Ghz, and for an athlon, 3.5Ghz is pretty amazing, specifically on air
I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever with this motherboard, and it comes with a ton of stuff aswell as the ability to do tri-sli and dedicated phsyx card, trust me, you get this motherboard and you will not be dissapointed, by far best 780a motherboard i've seen with a decent price
- Cons: Sata ports are sideways instead of pointing up...which is a problem in all scenarios in my opinion, same reason they shouldn't put power connectors on the back of a GPU, it makes it so you either have to move hard drives or wedge it inbetween the motherboard and metal piece holding your hard drives (if your hard drives point toward the side door for your case) but other then that, absolutely no problem
- Other Thoughts: Guy that reviewed below me said he couldn't disable the integrated GPU... but i was able to in the bios? i think he overlooked it as it doesn't exactly say what it is
AMD 6000+ 3.5Ghz
8800 GT OC (soon to be two in SLI)
4Gigs (2+2) OCZ Titanium DDR2 800 ram
400 gig OS drive + 750 gig data drive
600 watt 4-rail FSP group PSU
