Foxconn WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS
The Foxconn WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS
Foxconn manufactures a wide range of products, ranging from video cards, to connectors, and as we'll explore today, motherboards. Over the years, we've had some experience with Foxconn, and while their products have not always been hardcore-enthusiast friendly, they have produced decent products. Today we'll be sampling Foxconn's WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS, as they aim to bring an affordable, but high quality, SLI solution to the AMD Platform. Higher end motherboards from ASUS and Abit can retail for well over $160, and unfortunately many of us can't afford that. The Foxconn WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS currently retails for around $125, however, which is a much more reasonable price for someone who wants SLI. Unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees, so we're always eager to look promising products with affordable prices.
While putting the Foxconn WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS under the microscope, we'll be reporting on its features and benchmarking it using some of today's most commonly used applications and games. For $125, we're not expecting a plethora of special features and overclocking options, however we do expect decent performance at stock speeds, a compete set of BIOS options, and a stable, hassle free experience. All right then; let's take a look at what's included in the package, and the list the motherboard's specifications.
