Please log in for more thread options A few years back Asus made Intel's boards, but they switched to Foxconn. Intel makes no motherboards themselves. | |||||||||||||||||||

As long as Intel writes the manual, provides tech support, handles warranty issues, updates the BIOS, it shouldn't matter that Foxconn soldered it together. It is Intel's reputation that gets damaged, if it is a bad product, so they'll do whatever is necessary to protect their reputation. Paul | |||||||||||||||||||

Yes/no/maybe That doesn't really help a user who buys a board that Foxconn cut too many corners on. Foxconn is still using their designs, their manufacturing techniques, etc, which are not as good as Asus', IMO. Used to be that buying an Intel board meant you had a top-notch board, even if a bit limited in configurability. Now I don't see any good reason to choose one, though they do still have the preferred chipset platforms for their processors. | |||||||||||||||||||

They most likely provided some parts. I've got an MSI video card that has the Foxconn label on the DVI connectors. Besides,I,m very happy with my "Winfast by Foxconn" motherboard(LOL). | |||||||||||||||||||
