Foxconn C51XEM2AA (Nvidia nForce 590 SLI)

10:44 AM - 12/26/2007 by Patrick Schmid

Board Revision: ?
Installed BIOS: 612W1P23 (07-20-2006)
Upgraded with: 612W1P36 (03-21-2007)

The C51XE is Foxconns's nForce 500 series. The C51CEM2AA is the high-end model, which is based on the nForce 590 SLI chipset. Hence it can be considered over average even today. A four phase voltage regulator is powerful enough to operate AMD's new Phenom processor and there are multiple interfaces and features to please enthusiast users. However, we only found a BIOS version, which is already nine months old. Hence we were not able to operate a Phenom processor on this motherboard.

too many vendors boycott the upgradebility they just dont want to release a simple bios update because they want to force costumers to buy a new motherboard. it would anger me i would have bought a am2 motherboard and the vendor was such a bastard to boycott the upgrade.today those bios updates are rare too find. so far i have only few vendors who upgrade there bios. apperently ASUS support it the best so that is why i will choose ASUS above all those cheap bastards from now on
