The reviewer considered this mobo an impressive mainboard with decent bundled utilities. It'll give you value for money, allthough the implementation of USB3 would have been nice, besides that there were some voltage issues during the overclocking process.

Conclusion:

Foxconn A9DA-S is an up-to-date product with little 'extras', so it should be affordable. Other mainboards with the same chipset usually have more and better features. The competitiveness will fully depend on the retail price of this mobo.

An AMD Phenom II X4 810 2.6 GHz was overclocked @ 3380MHz.
