May 26, 201114 yr I was cleaning our carage last weekend and I was going to throw a box named "junk" to trash bin. I decided to check what was inside just to be sure. There was multiple motherboards inside which were all dead or damaged. There was also this beauty inside. Foxconn Dreadnought 790SLI There is some nice memories attached to this board and I decided to give it a try. Booted and working just like new! Cool! Now I need to figure out what I will do with it
May 26, 201114 yr Whoah! Awesome bios logo! //edit: you can fill the HWBOT database and put your best possible scores online http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/dreadnought?tab=info. For Dreadnought, it seems that ANY score will give you golden up haha
May 27, 201114 yr Author The board works like a charm. My pentium 4 661 hit 5Ghz at 1.44v and 5.4GHz at 1.5V. I think that 790i chipset was showing it's best part when fsb went a bit over 300 Now I do remember why I throw some of these boards in to junk box. Well.. this is a historical motherboard, cause so few was ever made. I will keep this as a trohpy or something.
May 27, 201114 yr You cant throw your old boards in the bin Petri! Dead board= part farm! Nice find though

May 28, 201114 yr Damn that Dreadnought was one good looking board! It's a pity it never made it to mass production. Please don't throw this one away Petri
May 28, 201114 yr Crew Nice find Petri, awesome find... does it have Sayaas signature somewhere ? Maybe the best 790 SLI ever made Edited May 28, 201114 yr by Leeghoofd
May 28, 201114 yr Author It was still shamino who send these samples. Saaya came in when X58 was getting closer. But I guess it would be best 790i ever made, if there would be Sascha's name on it
