I don't want to troll and spam. I still think this will be an excellent board. I hope I can get the problem solved.Quote:

What was the limiting factor. Your QPI is low. Your voltage is low. Presumably you have extremely good cooling system. Was the limit temperature based?Quote:

These doesn't scale with voltage and most cpu's can't handle more than 1.55V. Cooling doesn't help much, like we have seen.. some CPU's have cold bug at -50 etc.
Do I need to say more :D
So, this 32M run is worlds 20-30th fastest and this CPU is quite good even it doesn't look to be anything special. Those chips, which can reach really high frequencys are rarely retail CPU's. The key is to find leaky processor which can handle voltage or cooling well.
If I would have some way to find a golden 965, I could show some heavier results. It's all about connections and a bit of luck these days. My connections can't pick CPU's from factory or give me 20 samples to test. That's the truth.
hey petri thats a pretty nice m32 score you have there.. im curious what sort of ram voltage do you have to use to get past 1000mhz on those sticks ?? im guessing over 2.0v?
Yep Mikko! 2.05V. Like I said, these are not designed for this platform, but I don't have any overclocking tri-channel kit yet. A-Data should send me one soon.
Hey mate,
I just saw you're using a ToughPower 1.2kW... did you have similar problems like Anandtech experienced during their review? (I guess no, but asking is free :D)
Thanks,
Stefan.
I have a Swiftech GTX and the Bloodrage and I had to order the GTZ 1366 adapter and backplate to make it fit. The reason is not the adapter but the backplate itself. You need the one with the hole in the middle to fit the socket backplate through. Check out this post by Saaya for more info:Quote:

the board should still work fine, since you dont plan to use it anyways ask newegg to inform you when they have the board in stock again so they can swap it. its obviously a shipping problem and i dont think youd have any problems getting the board replaced, and until then just use the board, there shouldnt be anything else wrong with it, but then again, if they kicked it around hard enough to break off the spdif then there might be something else wrong with it :eek:
here here saaya da man :clap:
ya gotta dig a manufacture that supports thier product :up:
thanks man :) :toast:
fyi, G15 isnt all that bad :D

16x memory multiplier works fine now, so if you got some good mem you can run ddr3 2133 with stock Bclock now :)
What voltages are required for that?
My Co-axial SP/DIF connector was a bit bent, but not broken.Quote:

Just picked up my ups package yesterday.
box in good shape, could hear something moving around a LOT inside, it was the blood rage box, also in good shape, but too little packing material for my liking, havent opened the blood rage box itself yet, gonna make some coffee
first.
nostromo
I got mine last Monday. It worked right out of the box with no fuss! :) I have it on water now, but will post pics when I get home from work.
opened up box, everything looks good, motherboard looks even better
in person.
Still gonna be a while for me to set up, still deciding what to do about memory
and need to find a backplate for waterblock, I have a fuzion original. but not sure if i want to use it, or if it will be good enough..
and I think i wanna keep this 790I system as is, so i need a case, thinking of going TECH station on the I7 build...
Spoiler: what memory did you go with? and 920, 940, 965?
Nostromo
Spammed F5 for a good 3 hours straight. Finally got it ;p.
It came with no damage and the board so far works perfect. I had trouble with RAID 0 until I realized my drives had somehow failed but after that was taken care of I'm pleased to announce everything is in working order! (Or at least appears to be.)
I don't trust shipping companies and always hold my breath when I get a product delivered but this one seemed in prime condition.
(Had a keyboard come in once that was beat so hard it looked like a murder weapon.)
I'd highly recommend waiting. I love EVGA and Asus but quite honestly not over Quantum Force.
If you really want one you need to commit to checking Newegg every 10 minutes or so. Just start a long play list or movie and F5 after every song. Worked for me :)
Was able to hit 1924 with BCLCK @ 190 CAS 9 w/v1.70 (Gskill BSPI). Going to try over 2k tonight.:up:Quote:

What type of material is it made out of? :)
What do you think about the board so far? Looking forward for the BIOS screens and some overclocking/benchmark resutls. =)
If you had read this thread or used the forum search, you'd know what the block is made of...
We already discussed that several times. It's copper with a brass top and fixed 1/2" barbs.
Yeah..and if you read the whole thread you can see quite a lot of benchmark results :shrug: What kind of benchmarks you guys want to see, if these are not good for you?
BIOS screens will come soon. I have so much to do and some trips coming, that I haven't been able to pload them yet :(
3.8ghz (i7-p20)
Vclock:1.3
Cooler Master V8
80-90c Load (Prime95.)
Is this to much? I idle at 39c and on stock settings 39c idle with a 50c load.

Don't worry SF3D, I'll post BIOS shots tomorrow more than likely.

Could you list your actual bios settings.Quote:

I was surprised I was able to get one too. I saw it in stock on Christmas Eve, so I jumped on it. I will post some more pics a little later on in the water cooling section, but here is one of them:

Spoiler, that is sweet!:up:
wow, beautiful systems there spoiler and kiyka! :slobber:
what case is that again spoiler? the whole thing is painted, even inside, looks damn nice...
is it good paint? does it scratch easily or is it rather resistant? how about dust sticking to it?
now all you need is a side panel for that case wich is almost entirely plexi glass to keep people from sneezing and slobbering watermarks onto the thing :lol:
good to hear nobody else had problems with the spdif or anything else beeing broken.
any updates on that broken spdif thing then? any pics? what about newegg, they will replace it fine right?
I hope they dont blame the shipping company and then they blame newegg etc... let me know if you have any trouble getting it rma'ed, just send me a pm :toast:
EDIT: kensek, we are still working on 30+ cpu multipliers, for now 30/31/32, depending on the cpu, seems to be the highest that works reliably.
saaya, so many people want this board and can't find it. When will it become readily available ?
I had the issue with the stock cooler. At load it would reach 100c load. I took it off and put the Cooler master V8 on it. Stock would net me 55-60c load and at 3.8 It was 100c load again.Quote:

Now I get 95c load at 3.8 and, 55c stock.
I've installed plenty of heat sinks so I'm pretty sure it's not a mounting issue.
I was thinking maybe CPU is uneven and needs lapping but I don't want to void warranty the same week I just got it.

I've had the system running for a week 24/7 with no leaks whatsoever! Definitely a solid waterblock.
Thanks for the swift reply. Good to hear. If I don't spot any cracks when I get the board (havent ordered yet though, because it's not in stock) I would definitly connect it. :)
within the next weeks it should be better as we ramp up production.Quote:

Sorry for not beeing able to supply as many boards as people want to get one atm ... :(
not that i know of, the block has a solid 2mm thick copper base and then a brass top which is soldered/brazed together and pressure tested.Quote:

Foxconn: copper base with bronze/brass top and 1/2" barbs
Asus: copper base and top with 1/3" aluminum barbs
Gigabyte: bronze/brass base, top and 1/3" barbs, covered with a thin layer of copper
Im a little surprised and the enthusiast in me is dissapointed that asus and gigabyte both stopped offering waterblocks on their high end boards... asus at least leaves the option to add a waterblock on their board, but for a 400$ board not adding a basic 10$ waterblock is kinda dissapointing. Our block costs about double that, and the board costs only 300$... i figured its worth it and i hope you guys think so too.
For those of you who dont, hold tight, there will be a new board very soon, BloodRage GTi, without the waterblock and Ln2/Dry ice pot, and without the SAS option and it will cost even less than the current board :)
Thanks Saaya! Yes, I did downsize those pics quite a bit but I also need a new camera, those were taken with my Japanese cell phone! :p: :rofl:Quote:

I would also like to mention the RAID capabilities of this board. Unfortunately, you are unable to use both the Intel and Marvell controllers at the same time. I also noticed a TREMENDOUS difference in boot up times vs the 2 controllers.
Intel = <=10s boot up time (starting from the rolling Windows XP GUI)
Marvell = >=20s boot up time (sticks on the rolling bar for about 2-4s)
Still waiting for some Everest/NB temps (idle/load) screens. I hope it will reach Greece no later than early february :up:
I'm only hitting 35C or so on my Northbridge at 4.2Ghz (200x21) at 100% load with Prime for 8 hours +. I throw up some screenshots later.
Since its still out of stock... I ended up finding it at Ewiz for $265.88. Just ordered it now. Go get them!

Show us your settings in the Quantum BIOS menu, the All Voltages menu, and the Memory Timings menu ;)
I had to run +.400mv uncore to get GSkill F3 1600 to 2153MHz @9-9-9-24-2t everything on auto except trfc-88. Uncore voltage is the key for my set-up.
I'm thinking about getting this board, but I have one concern. Looking at the images, it looks like if you put a card (Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty for example) into the PCI-e x1 slot, the top might end up touching the NB heatsink? I can't imagine this board would have gotten released if such a problem existed, but still... they look very close together.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi everyone.
I nearly have all my parts together for my bloodrage build.
I am stuck on what memory to get. Help me out?
I have a i7 920 and my target will be 4.0 and would like to run my memory as
high as possible. I have seen people get 2000+ with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145224
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231238
this has an 1800 XMP profile
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227388
What about this stuff? no idea how high it will go, but seems to have best timings I have seen at 1600.
http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/...ail.asp?id=730
What should i get??
Nostromo
It's suppose to show FF when everything's working right.
I've never seen 80 after FF on this board or any of the other foxconn boards that I've owned.
As long as you use DDR1600 you should hit 4.0 without a problem (at least RAM wise). Some DDR1333 could reach such clock but 1600 could definitely do it since 920 at 4.0GHz will bring the RAM up to it's rated speed.Quote:

I have a noob question, how do you flash the bios? The last board I had was the A8N32 s939 board, which uses floppy to flash, and I am not planning to install a floppy on my next build.

Whenever I have attempted to use this method of updating the BIOS, I lose the BIOS upgrade when removing power from the mobo. Updating the BIOS via USB/floppy/CD etc, there are no issues.Quote:

You're saying that you're flashing the main BIOS with version G15 ( for example ) and after removing the power from the board it goes back to G13 for example ?
Have you fiddled with the on-board BIOS option jumpers ?
Sounds like it doesn't write new bios in winflash or foxupdate :shrug:Quote:

That is 100% correct. I was testing the secondary BIOS. Originally, I had P02 installed, so decided to upgrade via the Fox Live update. It properly updated the BIOS to G13, but when I removed power, it went back to P02.:shrug:Quote:

I will attempt to duplicate this on the primary BIOS and post results.
After flashing the BIOS, if you're using the secondary BIOS chip, in the first post it'll show up the info of the main BIOS because the defaults settings are set to use the main BIOS chip.
Did you select to flash the Backup BIOS in Foxconn Live Update ? Because that's the 2nd BIOS chip.
alright i'm try to get either evga or blood rage from foxconn, and I can't decide.
any advantage of evga over the foxconn or vice versa that you guys could think that will push me to get a foxconn? i don't do tri-sli, and i doubt i will use more than 6gb ram, so seem both board meet my requirement.
i'm just try to do a detail comparsion between the two. ahh can't decide pulling my hair out
