Foxconn Digitalife ELA P45

Conclusion

The Foxconn DigtaLife ELA is certainly an impressive motherboard. With the huge bundle of accessories, well thought out layout and impressive extra features – such as the onboard power switches – it’s a damn good bit of kit. Performance wise it’s also impressive with it being highly overclockable and having plenty of options in this department.

One thing however lets this board down a lot, that’s the heavy price tag. With models similar to this from Asus for around £170, I know which manufacturer I’d be more comfortable with and it’s not Foxconn. That said, they seem to be on a roll at the moment, with lots of new releases. So maybe, the future is Foxconn?

Enough of the rant, the ELA’s a damn good motherboard; it’s just a shame about the price.
