I quickly tested my 6GB ram kit on Blodrage.
These sticks are working well on this board. SPD timings and 1.58V (real)
http://www.aijaa.com/img/b/00018/3275619.jpg
These settings are 32M stable.
Next I'm starting to hunt better 965 cpu's :up:

thanks for all the info to date SF3D :up:
eye could live with 4.0 & 19,000 read :D
why only 3 dimm slots?
This board does look badass. I like the little round thingys with the little black squares and rectangles near the big square thingy. Looks like a little city where electrons live and work and play fps.
Why not? It's been talked about several times now...Quote:

Who needs 6 slots on an enthusiast board? IMO 6GB using 2GB sticks is enough, and you've got the option on upgrading to 3 4GB sticks later on. :shrug:
I see. I have limited knowledge of these things but I figured it was for good reason. Thanks for explaining this:up:Quote:

havent tried a mach 2 myself
but the board does have both 775 & I7 mounting holes
Found this on New Egg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186163
Seems like they are ready to receive the Blood Rage and they have it listed, at this time, as $299!
Damn.. that is only 218€. Too bad, that the old story about price in EU will never change. $--> €. You guys are lucky in US :up:Quote:

I have mine and have almost finished my build. Speaking of 775 mounting, the holes work but be warned that if your cooler (like my Swiftech Apogee GTX) has a backplate, the old backplate won't fit the new 1366 mobo's as they have a socket backplate already there. Your new backplate must have a hole in the middle like this (I found this out the hard way and had to order the 1366 backplate):
Hmm... you could've disassembled the socket. That would have definitely worked out well. :D
Sayaa,
The thing about the waterblock that is included is this.
First off people are wanting removable barbs so with G1/4 threading so that they can put whatever barbs they want in there, use their compression fittings and what not.
This is better for everyone so that they can whatever barbs they want so they can use whatever tubing they want.
Being an enthusiast board that includes watercooling parts you would have thought that this would have been a priority. Save you on cost of the block also seeing as the barbs that are on there now wouldn't be so you'd have less materials.
As far as the Bronze top, how is that going to effect corrosion. With like properties or whatnot, it's still not copper.
HAHA, no thanks! I think I'll wait the 1 day and get the right backplate! :p:
I agree most of enthusiasts would like to have exchangable barbs. I think that's probably a thing to consider for fuure products.Quote:

So I conclude - absolutely nothing to worry about. :p:
:p: I could have been so easy! (and cheap) ;)Quote:

I got the Swiftech 1366 backplate for the GTX and GTZ waterblock today and it worked perfectly!
Using the 1366 holes, correct? Isn't also correct the only way to use the 775 holes is without a backplate? And that no one here would ever mount a CPU heat sink without a backplate?
That is exactly true, the 775 holes are only for coolers without a backplate.
Or for all types if you dismantle the original metal socket/backplate. :p: ;)
Phasechangers (like me) have to do that anyway, as it's too hard to insulate well. The CPU is being hold down by your waterblock/aircooler or you could probably tape the i7's edges to the remaining socket (sticky tape, maybe some tesa power strips, if anyone here knows what I mean).
What your saying, other than the stray capacitor, the Blood Rage is really setup for LN2 testing. Except for that one capacitor, which an LN2 or Phase Change guy would change anyway, the analog pwm allows you more freedom for modifications and overvolting, you will probably run 3x1gb memory, never more. The NB is preconfigured for LN2. It is perfect...or at least best in class. The 775 holes let you use your phase change or LN2 stuff, which is low volume and slow to change.
However, for us workaday watercooled overclockers...
what a wonderful boards...
according to you is the dfi x58 better than BloodRage???
Hmm, why should the DFI be better? Until there's no review comparing both, noone could tell.
I really, REALLY, don't like this board. Theres so many things I could pick apart about the PCB layout and choice of components I won't even bother.
Then why post in the first place? :shrug:Quote:

As far as physical appearance goes, I have to agree with Ket. The layout and colors used on this Bloodrage board are god awful ugly.
I thought the attraction to this board was based on its performance and options. :confused: Were all the threads about people not being able to wait for this board to be released based on the fact that they liked the way the board looks, or does it offer certain things that the other X58 boards do not. I still haven't been able to figure that out.
Because red and black are just positively horrendous? :shrug:Quote:

Nice :)
do you know Setfsb PLL to yse with this board ?
Tried some, but none of them worked.
ok , i m installing vista but i see that Clockgenerator is the same as EVGA X58, ICS9LPRS139AKLF (EVGA X58 SLI)
edit :

Hey everyone,
I have a bloodrage on the way, My main concern is memory, I am running a 790i right now with mushkin PC3-8500 991601(996601) 2X2. It has SPD
settings for as low as 1.5V at 533 I am running it at 1840 with 1.9V
I was hoping to just get a third stick and put them in the bloodrage, or is this gonna be a no go?
Nostromo
It's going to be ok.
The SPD doesn't dictate the Voltage applied to the RAM by the BIOS, no need to worry.
You're running a 780i motherboard with ddr2 right ?Quote:

Any ideas why I would receive an error 19?Quote:

Here you go (Thanks for the list Peter Tan):
Award & Intel Debug Codes:
The most common Debug codes, what they mean, and how to work with them.
This Guide is intended for the Foxconn Blackops board, but the codes should be identical or very similar on all Mainboards with Award BIOSes.
If your problem isnt described in this list or the tips listed here dont help you, send a private message to Lardarse or me, or contact the Foxconn tech support. Before you do so, please search the foxconn section here on xs to see if anybody else has the same or a similar problem and post in that topic/thread or open your own topic/thread.
no LED all fans spinning
If the Board powers on with all fans spinning and all LEDs running but the DEBUG display doesnt display any POST codes and nothing else happens, then the PWM probably cant get enough juice. Check if the 8Pin 12V plug and the 24Pin ATX PSU power plugs are plugged in properly, make sure they dont bend too much or haven a lose cable. Check another PSU if possible. If nothing helps, power off the mainboard, remove both BIOS chips and wait a few minutes, then put them back in and power the mainboard on again. Make sure the BIOS chips are seated the right way around, the marks on the chips should face downwards.
FF then reboot
If the Motherboards powers on, displays FF for a couple of seconds with all fans spinning and the LEDs working and then restarts, the Motherboard is trying to detect the BIOS and read from it. This sometimes happens randomly when overclocking the mainboard, but if it happens several times in a row make sure the BIOS chips are seated properly and the right way around, the mark on the BIOS chip needs to face downwards. Another possible problem is that the BIOS is messed up as a result of a too high overclock or a bad BIOS flash. Power off the mainboard, remove both BIOS chips and wait a few minutes, then put them back in and power the mainboard on again. Switch the BIOS chips around or change the BIOS select jumpers to boot from the other BIOS chip in case the initial one is corrupted.
Note that the FF code is also used by the memory configuration and testing procedure, check the POST Code description for A0 and following for details
FF hangs with all fans spinning
If the Board powers on with all fans spinning and all LEDs running and the DEBUG Display hangs at FF, then the board is either working fine but you cant see it, or the boards BIOS is messed up. First hit the Num Lock and CAPSLOCK keys on your keyboard and check if the respective LEDs on your Keyboard turn on and off when hitting them.
Note that the FF code is also used by the memory configuration and testing procedure, check the POST Code description for A0 and following for details
A) If they do, then the System is working but you cant see anything on the display for some reason. Check if there is something wrong with the Videocard, the PCIE slot or BUS, the Monitor or monitor cable. Turn the Monitor on and off, switch the Monitor cable from one D-SUB or DVI plug to the other in case your Videocard has two. If this doesnt help then reboot and load the optimized defaults. If that doesnt help either try another Videocard if possible, or try the Videocard in another system to make sure its working properly. Try another monitor or try the Monitor on another System.
B) If they dont, then the System is stuck at the very early initializaton phase. This could mean that the BIOS is messed up or there is something wrong with the Mainboard or CPU. Turn off the board, remove both BIOS chips for a few minutes, then put them back and power the board on again. Switch the BIOS chips around or change the BIOS select jumpers to boot from the other BIOS chip in case the initial one is corrupted. If this doesnt help either contact me or Lardarse of the Foxconn tech support.
If this didnt help then make sure the CPU isnt missing , is seated properly and not damaged. Check the CPU in another board or check another CPU in this board to make sure the CPU is fine. Check if the cpu is seated properly and the pads and pins are clean and make good contact with each other, and make sure the socket is fastened well and the heatsink is seated properly.
FF with beeping
If the Mainboard powers on with all fans spinning and all LEDs running, but the Debug LED shows FF and you hear some beep codes, check if there is something wrong with the Videocard, the PCIE slot or BUS, the Monitor or monitor cable. Turn the Monitor on and off, switch the Monitor cable from one D-SUB or DVI plug to the other in case your Videocard has two. If this doesnt help then reboot and load the optimized defaults. If that doesnt help either try another Videocard if possible, or try the Videocard in another system to make sure its working properly. Try another monitor or try the Monitor on another System.
Note that the FF code is also used by the memory configuration and testing procedure, check the POST Code description for A0 and following for details
2b
When the system powers on and the Debug LED shows the usual POST code sequence but hangs on 2b or you get a beep code as soon as the sequence reaches 2b, then the Mainboard cant detect your Videocard properly. Note that the POST code sequence might not halt at 2b but continue, so the final POST Code it displays could be FF, 1E or 7F which means the Maiboard booted, entered BIOS, or OC recovery kicked in and is waiting for Input to enter BIOS. Since the Videocard couldnt be detected properly you will only see a black Monitor and either 2b, FF, 1E or 7F. Check if there is something wrong with the Videocard, the PCIE slot or BUS, the Monitor or monitor cable. Turn the Monitor on and off, switch the Monitor cable from one D-SUB or DVI plug to the other in case your Videocard has two. If this doesnt help then reboot and load the optimized defaults. If that doesnt help either try another Videocard if possible, or try the Videocard in another system to make sure its working properly. Try another monitor or try the Monitor on another System.
7F
When the system detects that a critical error happened during the last boot attempt or several boot attempts failed, so OC recovery kicked in. There should be a message displayed on the Display informing you that OC revocery kicked in and that its waiting for your input to enter BIOS. If you cant see this message cause your Display stays black, please check the description for POST Code 2b.
1E
Your in the BIOS right now, if you cant see the BIOS cause your Display stays black, please check the description for POST Code 2b.
E0
When you get this error message the Mainboard cant detect the memory SPD, the memory itselft, or there was some problem while reading from the SPD. Shut down the Mainboard and make sure the memory is seated properly. Load the optimized defaults, if this doesnt help then try one stick of memory in slot1 or slot2, if possible update the BIOS, try another SPD on your memory, try another set of memory or try this set of memory in another system.
E1
Virtually the same as E0, check E0 for a description.
C1
If the Mainboard hangs during this bootup phase then its most likely a memory related problem. Please check the settings your tried and load the optimized defaults. Check if the set of memory has been tested by us or any other user, search for topics/threads in the foxconn section about this set of memory to see how other users are configuring it. During this phase of bootup the Level 2 cache is detected as well, if the CPU is overclocked or damaged or misconfigured it might trigger this POST Code as well. If the problem doesnt seem to be memory related for you, then search for topics/threads from other users who are using the same CPU and check how they are configuring it. If possible check another CPU in this Mainboard or check the same CPU in another Mainboard to make sure its running fine.
A0 and anything from 03 until 91
If you get any of the above POST codes it means the initial memory configuration and testing procedure failed. Check if the set of memory has been tested by us or any other user, search for topics/threads in the foxconn section about this set of memory to see how other users are configuring it. Check the detailled POST Code list below for more details on he memory configuration and testing proecures POST Code sequence.
54 with beeping
This POST Code is a part of the above initial memory configuration and testing Codes, but If the Debug LEDs display 54 with a lot of beeping, it might be something else. When you apply new settings in BIOS and hit save and exit you might get this error. It doesnt NECESSARILY mean that the settings you tried to apply dont work. Keep the power button pressed for 4 seconds to shut the board down - wait 10 seconds - then power the board on again. OC revocery will kick in, enter BIOS but just hit "save and exit" and see if the settings work now. If you get error 54 with beeps again the settings your trying wont work, most likely cause the memory cant take it. Check if the set of memory has been tested by us or any other user, search for topics/threads in the foxconn section about this set of memory to see how other users are configuring it.
A1
If you get the above POST code it means the initial memory configuration and testing procedure passed, but there was a problem when setting up the clockgen and the system clocks. Check your system settings, load the optimized defaults, if these tips dont help search the foxconn support section for topics/threads about the same or similar hardware you are using.
C5
When your system hangs and the Debug LEDs show C5 your memory or the chipset is most likely not stable at this setting.Check if the set of memory has been tested by us or any other user, search for topics/threads in the foxconn section about this set of memory to see how other users are configuring it.
80
80 or FF are the codes the board shows under normal operation.
Detailled list of Award BIOS Port80 and Intel X38/X48 POST Codes:
These POST Codes are generated by the Award BIOS Kernel Core using the Port80 feedback from the CPU.
Note that some of the Intel Chipset memory configuration and testing procedure Codes (BLUE) are identical to some of the Award POST Codes. The BIOS cannot translate those Codes and just forwards them, but from the context it should be clear what a Code means even if there are two possible interpretations.

This CPU is a lot better than previous ones. It is starting to look better, but of course this is a mile behind of those diamonds we have seen. Too bad it can't do 3DM06 any better than vantage.
But still, it's starting to look like 3-way SLI time (or Quad SLI) :up:
First the 32M. With some tweaks it could be better. Memory couldn't be maxed out, cause the CPU didn't scale any hihger.

Then 1100Mz 8-7-7-20 1T (2200MHz DDR3) bandwidth result:

Too bad I couldn't find perfect combination for 32M.. those timings and speed would have been great to have.
Then Vantage CPU score at 4.865GHz:

I think, that the efficiency is ok in Vantage CPU test
Tomorrow I will try single card (4870X2) vantage and 06 etc. I hope to beat my own records on those tests :up:
The Anandtech review seems to say that the retail board is going to have a bad BIOS bug right out of the box - something about a Force Reset needed if a BIOS change is made. Can anyone confirm this that has a retail board? Thanks!
I have a retail sample here for review, and I'm not having that issue.Quote:

And it's not a Force Reset button actually, it's a bit more complicated.
Bench, can you explain when I should be using said button on my retail Bloodrage board? Thanks!
Once I start OC'ing I will check if I have that problem or not also. :up:
SF3D: I'm paying close attention to all the results for this board and the DFI x58. Are those last screens still on water and air? Thanks.
I have not experienced the problems in the Anandtech article.Quote:

You don't need to push that button in any situation really. Bord will boot up if you just wait and try to push start button few times. If board doesn't boot at all.. power off PSU and try again.
Issues i have is predicted vcore in bios is wrong and i have to power off psu one time before to boot.Quote:

Try it Thomas and let me know how your board is working. Trust only direct voltage read from PCB.
It looks like AnandTech's issues were caused by the PSU they used.Quote:

I only had problems "starting" the board normally just once, I was pushing it too hard, and was on the edge of stability, and after saving and exiting the BIOS it tried to boot but it got stuck at A1 post code.
I just let it do whatever it wanted, without any user input, the board hang there with A1 displayed on the POST code LCD for 4 seconds, and then powered down itself.
It powered up again in 1 second, and shutdown instantly.
It powered up once again half a second later, and shutdown again.
It then powered up again and booted fine, and I got into the BIOS setup menu and altered my settings, and it worked like a charm again.
What do you mean by "predicted" Vcore Pt1t ?Quote:

And you can't get the board to boot afterwards without removing the PSU power plug ?
Can you give us a more detailed description of what you do, what happens, and what the board does if you don't remove the PSU plug to power on again normally ?
I don't have any problems ( nearly at all, except a few BIOS related bugs that I've tracked down and reported ) that seem to be sourcing from the Vdroop compensation option.Quote:

"Trust no software" is a good MOTO when it comes to talking about voltages :p:
Hi everybody. I gotta buy a new mobo 'cause my UD5 is dead. So i've searched for this mobo but seems that isn't out. Is there any shop/man that already sells this mobo?
Sorry for my bad english :down:
I received an email confirmation from Newegg that they ship out this week.
Welp, I have to say I am experiencing strange issues on the SAS controller when oc'ing this board.
When changing the vcore, it loses my drives. Sometimes the Marvell controller comes back with CTL + ALT + DEL, but mostly the QF button sets it right.
Able to get 190 x 19 @ 920.
vCPU - 1.36 actual (+90)
vVTT - 1.20 actual (+100)
vIOH - 1.12 actual (Default)
Havent been able to get anything more stable. Still cooking..

i can't find it anywhere:(:(
i need this mobo because my homemade cpu pot has only 775 bracket and my phase also:shrug:
can anyone pvt me a shop?:confused:
Are you sure of that? :DQuote:

Wrong, try again. This isn't some unique feature only exclusive to the Bloodrage board.Quote:

As far as them backing that up, I can't comment ;)

As far as shipping to Canada goes, I've contacted Newegg.ca and awaiting their response to availability, in the meanwhile, I will find another online retailer, US or Canadian as soon as the the mobo becomes available.
So it's just a matter of when and where ;)
Damn, i have to buy a new mobo next week, nothing to do, so i'll get EVGA or Gigabyte :(

We may not want to rush out and get the next Bloodrage available on NewEgg. Anandtech updated their preview and said that Foxconn figured out the incompatibility with some > 1000watt PSUs: they've replaced 3 SMT resistors. However, who knows if the board you buy has that problem corrected, especially since it's doubtful the resupply this week is going to have the fix. I'm using a Corsair HX620 right now, so if I bought a Bloodrage now I wouldn't have a problem, but if I upgraded the PSU in a year or so and discovered the problem, then who knows if I could RMA it (and then there's the hassle). So I would think we'd need the board revision number of the good board and know that's what we're buying from NewEgg, et al, before clicking the Buy Now button.
It doesn't look a major issue.
At least not at the moment, because there are only 3 models listed to have those compatibility issues, and some people report no problems with them, so you'll have to hit the "wrong" revision of the PSU.
Rushing is not a good option in everything in life though :)
Ouch the best comes with problems that's what happens with such a huge Market with so many differnt sets of ram, grapics cards and psu let alone CPUs when the range grows later this next year. Nothing is perfect a least conpaterbilty is not such a big problem at the begin of a new chipset. Think about it!
Nobody is selling this mobo?
Where are you located ?Quote:

I was so thrilled. The packaging was great. The included materials were awesome. The quality looked wonderful....until.
I lift the mobo out of the box and hear something rattling. It was the S/PDIF input rattling around, completely broken off. My friend screamed bloody murder. I just sat there in silence.
I am not even mad, I am so disappointed. I am sure tomorrow the shock will wear off and I will get the "mad".
The odds of me getting this board in, any time soon, is slim to none. I built my new system around this and am totally dejected that I might have to adjust mid stream...
So sad. :shakes:
The worst part is I don't even know if that connector will even matter to me. But the idea that it was broken, right out of the box makes me want to hurl.
I hope no one else encounters this.

This also confirms email confirmation I recieved from Newegg that the Bloodrage is now shipping ;)
the first sad story of blood rage. ask for a rmb, use it until you see the board in stock again, then send it back and switchQuote:

it doesn't have teh 775 mounting holes
Asus acted like a copycat and "copied" Foxconn's idea on the new revision of the P6T.Quote:

looks a nice board, love the red and the post screen LOL but however it seems to me that it lacks the quality of the rampage II will be intresting to see what OC results come off it.
Oh my what a c**nt
:eek:

Foxconn Bloodrage

A-DATA 1600X (Micron D9GTR) this kit is designed for X48, but I use three of them.
Foxconn GTX 280
Thermaltake 1200W
Here is 32M at 4970MHz:
Attachment 92287
32M is scaling directly with CPU speed now. Tweaks are getting less and less important, so you can do these pure MHz runs easily.
