| Flaming Blade brothers born to make Foxconn Quantum Force family more accessible |
|
Yantai, China, Mar. 5th 2009 – To build “mighty MBs for OCers and hardcore gamers” is the spirit that Foxconn Quantum Force (i.e. QF) team has been continually striving for. The global economic downturn nowadays affects maybe people’s consumption habit but doesn’t restrain enthusiasts’ passion on lusting computing performance. This is the core motive to inspire QF team to develop Flaming Blade (i.e. FB) and Flaming Blade GTI (i.e. FB GTI) another two models listed in enthusiast criteria but with competitive price.
“Wanna get a taste of the ultimate performance sensation but a 599 GBT is really out of reach? Why not stop dreaming and get your hands on a 911GT right now? Flaming Blade is made to amaze you that ultimate performance can be so approachable.” said a QF product manager when he was describing FB’s Market positioning.

 Latest Intel® 1366 socket i7 and i7 extreme processors support ensuring the outrageous computing performance! |
 Based on the Intel® X58 chipset, both FB and FB GTI support the new Intel® Core™ i7 and i7 Extreme processor families and 3 channel DDR3 memory |
 With support for Intel® socket 1366 Core™ i7 processors, FB and FB GTI unleashed the latest 8-threaded CPU technology for outstanding multi-threaded application performance. Thanks to Intel® Turbo Boost Technology single-threaded applications can enjoy boosted performance as the processor automatically increases frequency when at least 1 core is not being used. |
 Thanks to the integrated memory controller on the processor, lower latency and higher bandwidth is supported right through to the processor cores, removing the FSB bottleneck which can limit memory performance. FB/FB GTI features support for the latest 3 channel DDR3 memory up to 1800MHz, with a total of 12GB installed support across 3 DIMM sockets. |

Powerful graphics support for the ultimate gaming rig!
Users no longer need to choose between SLI™ and CrossFireX™ technology before purchasing their motherboard; Flaming Blade’s 2* PCIe2.0 x16 slots support both CrossFireX™ & SLI™ technologies, ensuring maximum flexibility for system configuration.
*Only Flaming Blade supports Both CrossFireXTM &SLITM

 Quantum Power – the most robust and complete motherboard power system yet!
With so many high-performance components supported by FB/FB GTI, Quantum Force designers have built the most complete and robust power management and distribution system yet. Quantum Power delivers the most stable power to components, whether under heavy loading or at idle.
Unique power solution brings you the best reliability and stability experience! |

 Quantum BIOS - the most elaborated BIOS for Ocers.
The Quantum BIOS is a BIOS setting which is intuitive; user friendly and elaborated and organized in groups of inter-related settings. Not only are there many more voltage options, but they are arranged into groups relating to the different areas that they affect …CPU, Memory, Northbridge & QPI, etc. Notable additions to the tweaking options are CPU for Core i7™overclocking –expected to be widely-used by overclockers pushing their Core i7™and Core i7™Extreme processors.
