Features Continued...

As
previously mentioned the 755FXK8AA-8EKRS (whew!) supports 939 AMD processors.
Since this is my first time seeing up front what a 939 really stands for I was
in awe thinking how many holes are in this sucker! It took me about 30 min to do
the math after counting one row and squaring it.. Notice the room around the
socket, of course when you mount the back plate it looks a little more crowded. I wish our other board had the metal rod Zif.

As previously mentioned Realtek
provides the audio and network on this board. A RTL8110s-32 takes care of
duties.

The SIS and Sil3114 SATA RAID
located on the far end of the motherboard which is good for you SATA 6800GT
owners out there.

This is a
huge part of why this board is clearly not suggested to be a board to be
overclocked to the max. No paste is a big fat minus in the scoring department
for Foxconn, regardless of its capabilities. I haven't seen anything like this
for awhile, and with the kind of heat and speeds even running default, chipset
reliability would be a concern.. We slapped some AS 5 on the SIS 755FX
Northbridge before testing.
