Nvidia Nforce 780a in Quantum Force style

After
the initial introduction three months ago, Foxconn has finally introduced its Quantum Force Destroyer motherboard based on Nivida's Nforce 780a SLI chipset.

The new Quantum force series Destroyer comes with support for AM2/AM2+ CPUs, DDR2-1066 memory, HyperTransport 3.0 and four PCI-Express x16 slots for those that love SLI or Tri-SLI setups. The PCI-Express slots can be set to work in x16,x16 for the SLI, x16,x8,x8 for the tri-SLI, and four x8 mode if you decide to plug in four graphics cards in it.

The entire motherboard is cooled by a unique heatpipe cooling system which has a heatsink that ends up behind the memory slots. It is nothing innovative, but a rather strange looking cooling system called "extended heatpipe solution".

Other notable features include 7.1 channel HD audio, six SATA 3.0 ports, two eSATA ports, dual Gigabit LAN, 100% solid capacitors, support for Nvidia Geforce Boost and HybridPower Quantum BIOS, Aegis panel and much more.

According to the press release, the Destroyer motherboard will be priced at around $299 and it should be available sometime this month.
