I'm gonna try tweaking the memory more as I think the 8 8 8 19 1T may be rather aggressive for default values!

How easy was it to get that off?Quote:

Stage 3: 3.2Ghz 3Dmark Vantage

I'd just rather not destroy the north bridge in the process :)Quote:

I haven't tuned a thing yet. 260s were @ 699|2300.
So far I've made 3.91GHz with turbo.
Hmm... must have been a duff board?
Finally got it finished :)

There's 06 @ 1920x on my rig.

I just put my old 192SP GTX 260 in with the two 216s.
Here's my first try with Vantage in Tri-SLi, default bench settings-

Woohoo 30k marks in Vantage very impressive!
I can get 4.0GHz on the EVGA.

It did a little for my Vantage score.
I gained around 600 points. It's now P30732

It didn't do a thing for FC2 or Crysis though. Since it requires a full 1.45v to hold IMO not worth it considering I can do 3.91GHz on 1.33v. I might increase the voltage back to 1.35v and see how far I can go. 4.0GHz only seemed to have a good pay off in 06 @ default settings. If I was on watercooling I might feel differently.
Blacklash- Please don't publish PhysX scores :( I was shocked to see 30K in performance preset, but it was not correct..
Good scores! :up:
After having a good play with the memory and voltages the best I can get this Foxconn to do is 3.5ghz at 3.5v 175 / 20Quote:

I dont think the renaissance is a good overclockers board so I have resorted to running it 3.2ghz default voltages which gives a good speed increase.
I was wondering if betting cooling on Northbridge would help but not really sure its worth modding.
I can run 189 x 21 1.36v or 193 x 21 1.45v. I think the former is a better choice on air.
So you must be using Turbo mode for x21 multi?Quote:

Do you know what a safe top limit for cpu and vtt volts are?
Hey guys I have a couple of question on the Foxconn Renaissance board compared to the Asus P6T Deluxe. I notice the Renaissance board only has 6 phase vs the P6T has 16 does this affect the OC of the board and memory?
I'd have preferred the NB heatsink on the prototype Renaissance motherboard, Over the speaker version any day.
I personally would not recommend this board for over clocking as it does not seem up to the job.Quote:

Well saying that I mean extreme overclocking, this does overclock but not as much as the competition.
It is however a good all rounder and hopefully once newer firmware is available it will become an even better performer!
I still think a heat sink / fan mod is needed to stabilise the north bridge.
Well for the record the speaker "tat" on top of the northbridge heatsink takes quite a bit of prying off.
Its attached using some double sided sticky elastic tape goo but if you work around the edge of the heatsink with a flat screw driver you can ease it off without dismantling the heatsink assembly.
The northbridge heatsink does indeed work very well with some directed airflow.
Got mine to 3.7gig, which is the best i can do on default voltage. aside from the o/c speed, anyone notice this board's sound card sounds tiny? or not in full range compare to their old build?
This seems like a decent choice if you ain't over clocking though...
I haven't noticed any problems with the sound card.:shrug:Quote:

Hi. I want to ask all people who has Renaissance X58. I got the board and it is Fab. D. version so not the final version that is on sale.
My problem is VTT voltage seems to be too high. Vtt must be 1.1 volt and BIOS PC Health Status page shows 1.724 Volt! (BIOS version P02)
http://www.pckoloji.com/attachments/...anakart-32.jpg
Fox Central Control Unit section under BIOS has voltage settings. It says CPU VTT is default and 1.707 Volt.
http://www.pckoloji.com/attachments/...anakart-40.jpg
Then i loaded latest BIOS version P10 and now it shows 3.4 Volt! :eek:
BIOS and FOX ONE desktop software reports 3.4 Volt now. System works fine with Core i7 920 CPU and 2 x 1 GB A-Data DDR3-1600X.
But i am affraid CPU will fry. Can you check VTT voltage from BIOS / Fox One? Anyone has same problem? Is there possibility to find pins on mainboard to measure VTT with voltmeter?
Thanks in advance.
Im using the default launch bios P07 and my VTT is indeed 1.1vQuote:

It was sent for review to me and I was not able to do it because of this problem. So it seems VTT problem happens only to pre-release version.
I wish I could measure VTT with a device. I cant find readpoints for VTT.
Read points VTT: http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/...2&postcount=48
Thanks a lot! I just checked C39-C40 points with digital voltmeter and reading is 1.17 - 1.20 Volt. So now i believe VTT voltage is fine and problem is sensor or BIOS based. Thanks one more time.
Is it possible to get a 920 @4ghz?
Mostly yes base clock 200 mhz and with multiplier 20.
Anyone have updates on this board? Are most getting up to 4ghz with the 920?
Anyone take the "Speaker" off of it yet? lol
This is the one thing that turns me off of buying this board.
Does this board got the potential for 4GHz+ with an i7 920 ?
VTT is beeing read wrong on pre release boards, why didnt you ask your foxconn contact about this? :confused:Quote:

Hi all
was recently given this board by foxconn to test and to go into my new companies water cooled custom pc The GT500 (work log over at bit tech http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=160848 ) one thing we've been trying to find water blocks to fit the vrm and n/b bridge but keep seeming to hit a rather large brick wall. ek water blocks dont fit, danger den or what ever we have seem to try, i am now at a loss as this build was meant to be complete for the latest iseries in a few weeks. any1 know of a solution or some1 who can make custom blocks on a very low budget??
cheers
I am very interested in finding chipset and mosfet blocks also :)
Does anyone have any good tips for this board?
I had another go at overclocking my c0 chip and the best compromise I could get was 170 bclk + Turbo 3.6ghz @ default voltage.
It would be great if other users posted their settings so we could compare results.
There must be more people out there with this board?
I was wondering the same thing.Quote:
