Plus the fact that on a microATX board, everything is cramed together closer, they tend to run alittle hotter(mosfets/Chokes/North-southbridge then a full size ATX board.

Foxconn makes EVGA and XFX motherboards. No Foxconn isnt going out, its one of the biggest board/OEM and parts makers out there. Dont really like Foxconn but each to his own.

Of those the Bloodrage, and no, or else apple, sony, microsoft(xbox and zune), nintendo(wii), evga, xfx, and a whole lot of other companies would go into panic needing a new mainboard manufacturer.

If youve been over at the evga forums, the temperatures of the chipset on the micro are lower than the classified, its one heck of a board. "Its red and black for a reason";)
