Up Close with V8 (continued)

The CPU sockets are on the 771 slot, above we have two of the high end 3.0ghz models.

Mounting the CPU’s is a painless experience and intel supply a heavy pure copper cooler with each processor.

Moving to the audio connectors, if you look closely you can see “Foxconn” on the top of the port (we have circled it in red). Intel have worked closely with Foxconn for quite some time and many of their reference boards are supplied by Foxconn.

We will close this page with some close up pictures of the motherboard, we know many people will want to see the board layout and components.
