Foxconn DigitaLife ELA motherboard review @ Elite Bastards

[news 28]

 

Hi everyone,

 

I hope you all had a good weekend.

 

As you'd expect from Intel's current mainstream chipset, P45, there are already plenty of motherboards out there sporting its functionality at their heart. However, Foxconn's DigitaLife ELA motherboard is attempting to differentiate itself from the pack based more on its feature set, and indeed does succeed in bringing some interesting additions to the table in hardware terms. So, do those additions make the ELA a purchase worthy of consideration? We take a look to find out in today's review.

"The expansion slot configuration is where the ELA gets really interesting - Aside from two PCI and two PCI Express 1x slots, this motherboard also offers up no less than three electrical PCI Express 16x slots. We've already covered that a standard P45 chipset motherboard can be equipped with two PCI Express 16x slots which both have eight lanes of bandwidth in a CrossFire configuration (with the full sixteen lanes of bandwidth available when using a single graphics board), so how have Foxconn managed to squeeze a third graphics board slot into this offering?"
