Foxconn A75M Review

Bundled Software

FoxOne
A dedicated on-board chipset which controls and monitors system performance; increase performance when you need to, reduce noise and energy consumption when you don't.

The use and development of this software on a higher end motherboard would make more sense as on a motherboard like this it is practically useless. Considering my APU is running at a cool 0°C (Temperature sensors do not work accurately) and there are no overclocking options, allowing me to increase the memory voltage just for LULZ while telling my fan RPM is too low with constant warnings and red flashing lights, could simply be misleading to the untrained mind. FoxOne does however have some nifty skins.


Fan speed too low, must cool that APU below 1°C!


A potentially useful tool that plots temperature over time.


A particularly useless tool in consideration to not being able to increase DRAM speeds.


Manual fan speed control.


A nice set of skins for a potentially useful come useless application.


FoxLiveUpdate
This feature is a pretty handy tool to help keep your BIOS up to date, allowing you to quickly and easily update the BIOS from within Windows. However, even with features like dual BIOS, and BIOS protect, remember that caution is needed when updating the BIOS. A power outage mid-update could spell disaster.


A useful application that allows you to keep the software for the motherboard up to date.
