Was browsing the locals and saw this pop up, did some reading and it looks like an insane board. comes with its own crappy LN2/DICE pot for NB lol VRM looks pretty serious , aparently made in colab with Shamino? havent seen that name in the OC scene but i could wrong i just like to buy bizzare looking stuff
Will see how it works when i get it in. foxconn made the 680i boards and i had a good experince with one of there cheap 939 board got 4000+ to 3ghz on it 1.5v

Shamino is one of chief in house Asus engineer.
He is notorious for 25 years now.
Shamino and Frediyama are the backbone of Asus R&D team.

Ah I see haven't heard of his name till I saw this article im always living under a rock. Really cool Board it's a whole experience to be the first to touch really old hardware that's not been used in 10 years Had a sit down last night and did some Overclocking with it. Managed to flash the latest bios. I read the bios with my programmer to check for previous CPU strings that usually appear at the top few code readouts and this board has never been turned on before SAD!  So far encountered a few issues, Can't seem to get any of my ram to run at about 1450mhz or higher just hangs on C3 memory post code (was using my Powerchip Modules) Have to disable C1E or 0.5x multies won't work even if enabled in bios Couldn't get my Q9550 E0 past 3.5ghz stable no matter the settings used. Maybe lack of support for latest step quads bios date early 2009 latest bios Oh the LN2/Dice pot that I thought was metal is actually plastic , wouldn't that go brittle when LN2 or dice touches it? There was some Military style Dog tags in the box with issue number on the 5245 so maybe there was a limited amount of these boards out there |

hmm.. the plastic pot sure is confusing... plastic is not a good heat conductor.... did it also come with the water cooling bits?

Couple of hose clamps also. Might be getting some watercooling gear in so may have a crack at my first time on water or chilled water |

Oh yes. Once you try chilled or better on your overclocks, you will be addicted.

The block might be worth getting, depends on the fittings. if it's G1/4 then yes.. the tubing and rads aren't... it's 1/8" tubing and rads if they didn't take care of it the rad will be clogged...
the pump and res, those friction fit together and rely on a rubber 'O'-ring to seal. if the ring is OK, then it could work, you can change out the input/output fitting to G1/4.
just to be clear, this could work for benching, I'd never install that stuff in a daily rig.

Yeah will definitely grab if it remains cheap
Was mainly looking at the pump was thinking I maybe could run it through a small bucket of ice water. Too old for daily cooling may leak and destroy stuff
Is it possible to make a custom loop from like a fishtank pump some tubing and a block running through chilled water. Like I've seen this done before but I'm not sure what type of equipment I'd need to get

Like I've seen this done before but I'm not sure what type of equipment I'd need to get I used a 15$ submersible pond pump. Found it at a local hardware store. I think it had 8 to 10 feet of head lift. So it was perfect. Bucket on floor, drop it in, Bag of ice from the gas station and away we go!!! Some chips might even cold bug on you! XD |

Pond pumps are how everyone did it back in the day before we had any decent 12V options, and they're still pretty cheap. Just need to pay attention to a few more things when using them (like never, ever run them dry, they'll die quick)

Necro but, ... What a beautiful motherboard.  I love Foxconn's high-end boards like the Destroyer, Bloodrage, Avenger, of course the BlackOps, and especially the Dreadnought (790i equivalent). Shamino went on to work on EVGA motherboards after Foxconn, and his departure basically killed Foxconn's consumer motherboard division soon after. He & Oskar Wu are two true geniuses. |

Well that explains why foxconns boards are defunct, no high end boards after ivy (z77) and no more boards after haswell refresh? (apparently they have a weird h97m thats literally just a rebranded asrock with minor diffs) Guess foxconn actually made some decent enthusiast boards and not just crappy lowend boards, never really seen much of their stuff aside from a broken x58 flaming blade at 3$ that im trying to buy alongside 3 other broken boards at the same price but really uncommunicative seller |
