Foxconn M61PMV Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Comment:
Simple installation, really effortless BIOS updating with included software program and also easy overclocking with integrated computer software. None Did freeze up when while beneath heavy CPU OC'ing load utilizing an Athlon 64 X2 3. GHz processor but after following reset instruction I effortlessly backed out and followed the recommendations offered by the Foxconn software. Also utilized an EVGA 512-P3-N982-B2 GeForce 9800 GT Akimbo Video Card - 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.two x 1GB DDR2 800 sticks of memoryWindows 7 Ultimate 32-bit

Uncomplicated, tiny and stable. I essentially like it really significantly. I ran the system from time to time for a week with out shutting down or giving it a rest. Appears to just keep on going. The PCI slots are a small as well close, but it's fine. I had no require for support, but if their website is any indication I don't consider I will acquire another board from them. They must run their website of a homemade 15 y.o. pc. It goes down a lot more typically than it stays up. the downloads are painfully slow. I mistakingly employed the BIOS overclock and I also utilised the Nvidia's program tools to push the card a bit. The combination won't operate properly with each other.

For a rather low-cost motherboard, it operates quite properly. The onboard graphicsare fine for regular use, nevertheless I did add a graphics card to aid out with streamingvideo. This board was employed to replace a dead name brand motherboard, and will be utilisedmainly on a 32 inch HD Tv, so far it’s doing a wonderful job. The board comes with greatdocumentation and a assistance CD. There are some neat applications integrated for overclocking, monitoring and Bios up-dating if will need be. All in all it does the job. Non so far What was special to uncover is that it has a 4 pin program fan plug in, along with a 4 pin cpu fan plug in. A lot of the motherboards only come with a three pin program fanplug in.

Worked just as I hoped it would without having any hassles. None. I wish it had much more memory slots but for the price I can't complain.

This is the first Foxconn motherboard I have worked on and it was as simple as all the other people makers. As for overall performance the other hardware like RAM and CUP has to assistance this board. The speed from the hardware installed was greater then expected, On-board video is really excellent for what it is(on max settings!), Fantastic 5.1 sound and I would make this program once again.Bios had the newest version installed!! Wooot!!! none.

Exactly where do I start? Nice compact style. Shipped with cables. RAID help!!! (I found that gem by accident) Consists of custom back plate. Very good board for the $$$. I plan on acquiring a lot more of these. No Firewire or DVI ports. For me that wasn't a issue. TIP: The motherboard and back plate fit Incredibly snug in my case. I very advocate pushing down on the the tiny metal separators with your thumb so that the ports fit a lot more flush against the back plate. I'm building 5 identical machines and I discovered that trick produced a planet of difference.

Price tag. My client has no complaints as of yet. None really. Initially encounter with an AMD board. I believed the boot time was a small slow, but the user doesn't notice a difference from the final board that died.

Installed this board into a buyer's HP a1700n to replace the stock motherboard. (Asus a8m2n-la) I just came across another undesirable board in the similar type machine so I will order an additional currently, since the fist one was about six months ago and I haven't any troubles about it yet. None at all.

Comment:
Quite great - solid motherboard for the value. I am employing it with a Athlon II quad core with no issues. The Foxconn utilities disk was far better than what is supplied from other motherboard manufacturers. Limited to two IDE devices.

Basic clean layout none This is a budget build. I put a Seperon 140 two.7 gigs and 2 gigs of gskill ddr6400. 250 gig seagate HD. In a micro tower with 380 ps. If your just going on the internet and playing simple internet games its best.Almost everything loaded fantastic with no troubles. I've built a lot of systems from low finish like this as well mid/high finish systems. This is a good spending budget technique.

Comment:
Fantastic price super straightforward to set up cool to appear at. I will update later on how it runs. A lot more ram slots But ehh it was a great price tag so yeah not really complaining. Cant wait to get this setup and running im soo going to OC this child!

Budget MoBo good future upgrading optionsfantastic onboard sound Floppy connector on quite edge of the board. difficult to use with mid tower.Metal backplate slightly oversized with two different circumstances

Comment:
I bought this for a spending budget AMD dual score program, have not had any issues at all brief bios password length, but that is how it is for most bios

Comment:
Decent board, price tag was ideal. The boards sata controller was obtaining intermittent concerns. I replaced the difficult drive thinking that was the challenge (it wasnt). I seriously doubt that three drives would all fail, so that leaves the sata controller. hopefully the replacement sata controller solves the dilemma, otherwise im going to have to replace the board.

It's working like anticipated. I purchased this motherboard a 2 gig memory chip and an amd socket am3 sargas two.7 ghtz for about 贓 and they are all working together nicely. none for this item but i'll be certain and let you know if i think of 1. ;) The benefit of acquiring an am3 chip and placing it into an am2 or 2+ board is the much less high priced memory. If you're poor like me it's anything to take into account since the am3 chips currently still have the controller for ddr2 memory as properly as ddr3.

Much more than what you paid for the expected for what you're paying for... *** For individuals who appear to get bummed out by the capping of 4gb ram- Honestly- Not to sound too oldschool but seriously... I am an avid gamer, techie, several O/S running I also do graphic design and video editing... so fairly substantially nobody beats on a machine like I do.. I nonetheless do not feel the want for 12gb of ram... As a matter of truth- I am operating CS4 master suite and have not toppled 3gb but- Its genuinely not worth mentioning 4gb limit unless you are preparing on utilizing this mobo for 15yrs... If you do use additional than 4gb ram- fairly considerably- you require to cease operating every single app identified to man and three AVs at the very same time- possibly go by means of that MSCONFIG and do some spring cleaning

This board is operating great.You seriously can't beat the cost.Took my AM 2 dual core ship and almost everything installed.Just bought this board to put together a low-cost computer system to sell. Its not major end for certain but it is a stable board. Would have been nice to have a lot more memory slots but not a massive deal.

Comment:
operates excellent. the drivers for my 7600gs pci-e gotgot messed up when i installed the drivers for the onboard 6100 chip but a driver rollback fixed the issue. all in all a good mobo. it even has oc potential (but i havent attempted any oc but) none none

Great value, rapidly service, uncomplicated install. Foxconn's drivers download at a really slow speed, if you want the newest ones it requires a handful of min to dl them. Highly advocate this Mobo for capabilities and price tag.

I mean hey, I only spent 44 bones for it. Does it's job for inexpensive. Can upgrade the amd 5000+ I place on it to any Deneb cpu, these prices are falling kinda promptly. DDR2 800 is nonetheless a viable selection in todays builds with am2+ cpu's. It didn't make my bed like a 1156 board would've. I had an AMD 5000+ 2.6 cpu laying about with some old ddr2 667 ram and a family that required a pc. I added an ATI 5570 and a WD 320 blue and put win7 pro 64bit and now it's a very good ole net surfing,video watching, lite gaming rig. Nuff stated. Good affordable rig created with great ole components lying about. I wouldn't have constructed it for myself, but it's still a viable build for folks that want to create cheaply and surf the web and stay intouch. I downloaded win7 and when I inserted the driver dvd, there wasn't any drivers to download.....win7 located them all ahead of I put the dvd in.Great! Didn't try the onboard video, I did once just before on a similar board by an additional business, but it left a lot to be desired. Get a cheap vid card to go with this, it will make the difference.

Comment:
Precisely as described. Got it on sale with virtually all operating components... Audio ports won't identify any audio device - fortunately the audio ports on my case do. It's a low end micro board, but even so an extra fan connection of two would have been good.

Comment:
Installed and booted without having a hitch. Could use a small more attributes, but it is a low cost micro atx board, but im quite pleased with my obtain! Foxconn is fantastic! I'm not sure if a speaker can be place on this board for troubleshooting. I had 1 and couldnt figure it out, but didnt need to have it!

Comment:
It has all of the essentials for a normal, low cost Pc. DDR2, AM2/AM2+ (along with AM3 with a BIOS Update), PCI-E, and an on-board video card (which actually isn't that excellent). CPU limitations. There truly isn't a lot of CPUs this board can handle, which is why I shall be upgrading right here soon. Performing BIOS updates are a real discomfort. I was only in a position to get it to flash by wasting a blank CD to make a Windows 98 boot-disk and did it in Command Prompt. No Windows-version of the BIOS Flasher is offered, as far as I know.This motherboard has gotten me by for a very good 2-3 years, and I do believe its an awesome board for the lost-costing buyers, but I need a new 1 for a new AMD CPU I shall be receiving here soon.

Arrived promptly, operates flawlessly. Low-cost replacement motherboard! None. Replaced a fried motherboard effortlessly and cheaply. Good obtain!
