Sitting in one corner of the large Foxconn stand is an innocuous-looking CrossFire system, run off an Intel 1975X motherboard. Nothing too surprising there.



On closer inspection of the accompanying TFT, however, reveals that it's home to Fox One, Foxconn's OS-based hardware-monitoring/tweaking system that's similar to, say, ABIT's uGuru and MSI's CoreCell. These facts intimate that Foxconn wants a larger chunk of the enthusiast-orientated retail market.

Fox One provides the user with a plethora of information on almost every voltage- or speed-related parameters. Once turned over to manual mode the user is free to change FSB, memory, PCIe, and fan speeds and to toggle CPU, VGA and memory voltages, all from within an OS environment.

Fox One is the first iteration of what Foxconn believes will become the best overclocking/tweaking piece of software available. We'll take another look at it when Foxconn releases it to you, the public.
