Synaesthesia Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 This motherboard is seriously cheap, where I stay (SA), so I would really like to know if it works, the Foxconn 45GMX-V. Here is a link to the Newegg Page It uses Realtek 8111C ethernet and ALC 262 Sound BTW. Anyone have any success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 This motherboard is seriously cheap, where I stay (SA), so I would really like to know if it works, the Foxconn 45GMX-V. Here is a link to the Newegg Page It uses Realtek 8111C ethernet and ALC 262 Sound BTW. Anyone have any success? Although not the exact same, I built two based on the Foxconn 45CMX. Can't remember 100%, but not sure if the onboard network worked. Either way I stuck in a cheap Encore wireless and everything else is good.

gabrusch Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I have this board with an Intel Dual Core E6600 and it works like a charm. Network and Audio with Kalyway native and no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Anyone else using this? Nice price. The OP's link is dead, but this one is similar. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...CONN-_-13186139 Brand Foxconn Model 45GMX CPU Socket Type LGA 775 CPU Type Core 2 Duo / Pentium D / Celeron D FSB 1333(OC)/1066/800MHz North Bridge Intel 945G South Bridge Intel ICH7 Number of Memory Slots 2×240pin Memory Standard DDR2 667 Maximum Memory Supported 2GB Channel Supported Dual Channel PCI Express x16 1 PCI Express x1 1 PCI Slots 2 PATA 1 x ATA100 2 Dev. Max SATA 3Gb/s 4 Onboard Video Onboard Video Chipset Intel GMA 950 Audio Chipset Realtek ALC662 Audio Channels 6 Channels LAN Chipset Realtek 8111C Max LAN Speed 10/100/1000Mbps PS/2 2 COM 1 LPT 1 Video Ports D-Sub USB 4 x USB 2.0 Audio Ports 3 Ports Onboard USB 2 x USB 2.0 connectors support additional 4 ports Form Factor Micro ATX With the VGA out I'd be using a separate card, possibly a passively cooled 7300GS or the like. But the ALC662 audio and 8111C nic seem to be somewhat problematic. I wonder if the board that gabrusch used has these chips, and if so, what kexts Kalayway uses as I'd be doing an EFI+Retail install. EDIT: I just noticed this review on NewEgg: Pros: Cheap as hell, works OOB with EFI + Vanilla Kernel OS X. Cons: Overclocking is iffy and not too stable. Using the stepping provided, I could only use levels 1 and 2. 3 causes an instant fail to post. An even after using levels 1 or 2 after being powered down for a while it reverts to default clock speeds. Other Thoughts: I'm using a discrete card for graphics, but the ALC662 audio on this mobo works with OS X if you use the most current version of Dr. Zombie's HDA Patch from Insanely Mac.
