Although they've got one-piece blocks available for the EVGA board, and since the mosfets aren't connected via heatpipe, minimal fuss. Still, the price on those blocks is pretty heady, and makes the EVGA cost a lot more than the Foxconn board.
heard rumor that foxconn channel might layoff, or close? any ideas?
see post 48 http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=735106&mpage=2&key=
foxconn isnt going anywhere but up
just fud and econ adjustment
Bloodrage seems to be consistently in stock on NewEgg today, at least when I checked this morning at 10am (when I bought mine), when I checked at midday and just now. Price went up by $10, FYI.
Hope I got one of the newest rev with the resistor fix.
Would Mushkin 1600Mhz CL7 DDR3 work well with this board, or should I go Corsair 1866/CL8? I only plan to OC with a Cooler Master V8 or TRUE, and hold off on liquid. I figure I'll get 3x1GB for now since I plan to run XP SP3 until Windows 7 SP2 comes out. :-)
Foxconn is going nowhere, and those "news" ain't true and Foxconn's personnel has commented on and declined :)Quote:

Check the RAM Compatibility list in the Suggestion Box in the Foxconn section of the forums here.

I don't see Mushkin listed.
Anandtech did an X58 motherboard shootout (no Bloodrage) and used this RAM without problem, so that's why I'm thinking it'll be fine in the Bloodrage.
The fact that it worked on another motherboard doesn't ensure compatibility with another board.
The RAM compatibility is going to get "hammered" with plenty additions in the following days, so give it some time and you'll have your answer.
Of course you can give it a try yourself, but nobody can guarantee you that it'll work fine unless somebody tried the model you're looking at and it worked fine.
Version 1.2 is the latest board. That should be available now based on information from Foxconn on the latest distributor shipments into the US. Version 1.1 fixed a couple of major problems, 1.2 cleaned up a couple of minor ones.Quote:

My Blood Rage ships out from eWiz Tuesday! I got the Mushkin RAM a while back. Glad to know it works!
Good stuff Dave! :up:
just curious about sli on these board. someone in the evga forum said if the board is not SLI certified even though it says sli support, there is a chance it might now work??

It's sad to see, that there is some people in EVGA forums who is bashing Foxconn all the time. I wonder where is that coming from...
There is some talk about EVGA boards clocking CPU's higher than others in that forum.. No one can tell the truth, cause there must be like 2 CPU's in the world which can go as high as we have seen :rolleyes:
It's all about the CPU at this point.. there is so much variation in Core i7 CPU's, that it must be confusing for masses.
P.S. SLI does work and why isn't this rumor never going to die, even everyone is using SLI without a problem :rofl:
It has to be Fanboy's. I have my 920 on Bloodrage at 4.2Ghz fully stable 24/7 on water with temps of no higher than 62C and I know I could probably get higher. I hate when other manufactures fans talk bad about other brands. :down:
why is this board so freaking hard to get!! everytime i look at newegg or ewiz is out of stock, did they make like 10 each time in china and ship it to here.
No, NewEgg must be getting about 50 boards each time, and every day 24/7 there are hundreds of people clicking F5 on their browser and placing an order as soon as it appears to be back in stock.
sign :( they got me beat i'm not gonna press F5 every hour to check it.Quote:

The revision number is written above the floppy connector on the bottom of the board.Quote:

At the moment I'm using a Corsair HX620 and don't expect to run a 1200w, but who knows down the road.Quote:

There's nothing wrong with the 1.0 revision.
The new revision fixed some compatibility issues with some PSUs, but the same thing can be done with the BIOS updates that Foxconn is providing the users with :)
Well, i will be switching to i7 within the next month, and motherboard has been the most difficult decision of the upgrade. After reading every post in this thread I think the bloodrage is currently topping my list... only problem is, you can get one anywhere in the UK! Does anyone have any idea when it will be available over here?
this might help MikeMK http://geizhals.at/eu/a391326.html and a read through...http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=213559
does the swiftech gtz lga 755 work on blood rage? i heard someone said the board still need the lga1366 mount plate or back plate?
Thanks for the links m8, not too keen on ordering from EU incase I need to return it for some reason, but I'll keep an eye on the other thread for sure. Im checking scan, ocuk etc pretty much every day...Quote:

ok i'm try to install new vista into a matrix raid(2 Vraptor), but it seem when i set the Sata mode = Raid, all sata device is gone under standard cmos feature in Bio. any ideas? it can't even find my dvd driver anymore. i can only find my drive under boot setting config, its like i can't boot from cd anymore.
ok it look like if i create 2 raid 0 volume, it will not boot up, any ideas? but if i create a single raid, its fine. im guessing i have to create the 2nd raid after install window? sorry pretty new at raid stuff
That was me and I'll confirm that as I have the Swiftech GTX on my Bloodrage and could not use the 775 backplate as it does not have a hole in the middle to support the Socket 1366 stock backplate. I had to order the GTZ 1366 adapter to work with my Bloodrage and both the GTX and GTZ use the same mounting hardware. Pics below will show what I mean between the two backplates. First one is 775 and second one is 1366. Hope this helps! :up:Quote:

I don't know what you mean exactly, so before you post again with more details all I can do is give you some guidance on how to set it up.
1) Enter the Intel Matrix Storage BIOS ( Ctrl + I ) and configure your RAID Arrays.
2) Make sure that the "Bootable" option is set to "Yes" for your RAID Array ( the one you wish to install Windows on )
3) Exit the Matrix Storage BIOS
4) Get into the motherboard's BIOS and set the First Boot Device to CD-ROM.
5) Make sure you have no USB Flash Disk Drives connected.
6) Boot from your Windows CD and start the installation.
If you have any spare (JBOD) HDDs connected and it looks like the board isn't even trying to boot from the CD, then disconnect any SATA device and leave only the required HDDs, the 2 HDDs that you'll be using in the RAID Arrays and the CD/DVD drive.
It should boot fine now :)
ok thanks i figure it out
Ok, I got a noobish question:
Is it ok to run my 4870x2 in the bottom red PCI-E x16 slot vice the top one as it will make my watercooling run easier and shows off the board quite nice. :confused:
I have another question, is it possible to do SLI with only the top two PCIE slots? This will make my radiator placement easier.
Also is there any known waterblocks works with the bloodrage northbirdge? I personally don't like the design of the block that much.
Not sure about the SLI questions but I love my Northbridge block. What about it is bothering you if you don't mind me asking?
Yes, it should work fine.Quote:

Five minutes with a hacksaw, drill and a tap. I'm tempted, just for kicks. Maybe tap it out to G3/8 just for the hell of it. I've got some extra Thermochill barbs kicking around. :DQuote:

here a pic of my system
http://www.abload.de/img/p1020175iyw6.jpg
Cri$ch browse the Foxconn "Suggestion Box" forum section and take a good read of the two BIOS Bugs / Issues related topics.
There are some bugs pointed out so you can avoid the hassle.
Yes, enabling PPM ( which is required along with EIST for Turbo Mode to work ) alters the CPU Voltage adjustments setting ( it's a bug and it has been reported to Foxconn )
You should be able to hit DDR3-2000 with the G13 BIOS "at ease" if your RAM can do it.
Which BIOS version are you using ?
Five minutes my @$$, but now you got me thinking about trying it out. Where can I get a spare NB block before I screw one up? G3/8, compression?Quote:

retail boards?
If you want to keep yourself in a mentally stable condition roll back to G13.Quote:

For the turbo option. Do you have it set to Always on or Enabled ?

The SMD removal mod is for the first pre-release boards, not for retail.
latest rev. is 1.2? i got a 1.0 Board :(
CoreTemp is ~55-60°C (CPU @ Water), i tried it with "enable" and "always on" but its the same.
i will try later Bios G13 ;)
I'm using G13 as like Bench says, the newer BIOS's have way to many bugs. We all have the same Turbo issue and hopefully Foxconn will fix it like the Gigabyte guys did so you can disable EIST and still hit Turbo 100% of the time.Quote:

The differences between rev 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 boards are a few modifications to fix some compatibility issues with some PSU's as far as I know.Quote:

Edit: I have no problems with Turbo mode as long as my CPU's cores stay under 95C.
And I've been punching 1.4V+ on the CPU.
Make sure you're checking the voltage because there's a bug with the CPU Core Voltage reading under the setting in the Quantum Menu.
@ BenchZowner
i measured the vcore always with a DMM, if the vcore is over ~1.30v the multiplier drooped to 20 :(
now i go to bed, i try it later with bios G13
Dont worry; I got a rev 1.0 too after a brand new shipment in to neweggQuote:

I tried the Rams "3x2GB OCZ Intel Core i7 Edition XMP 1600MHz" on my Bloodrage, but it stops always at Post code 26
It looks like these Rams are not compatible with the Bloodrage :shakes:
Now I odered the Dominator 6GB Kit, because some of you used it allready.
Edit:
Correction : it is the Post code : B2 did someone know the correct Error message ?
When are the prices coming back down on newegg?

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.

What is a Deactivated Item?
When a product is out-of-stock, it may show as "Deactivated" on the item page. This could mean that the item is no longer available and we are searching for a new supplier. However, if an item has reached the end of its product life cycle and will no longer be available at all, the deactivation will be permanent.
I dont think so I have seen newegg do this before with the Bloodrage. It was said to be Deactivated. I was like WTH when I was looking at my wish list. Then only acouple of days later to be back in stock. I would not give up on it being back at the egg soonish just check everyday at the same time your checking ewiz.
Wonder if they are doing it because so many people are waiting for it and hitting auto-notify so it's easier to do that for now till they get it back in stock. Just a though. :shrug:
Thanx Touge180SX, i know the list. But on that List is no B2 Code :shrug:Quote:

Trying to get this solved so I can get started on overclocking...
What do you mean ?
Are you trying to use the Matrix Storage feature ? Create 2 RAID Arrays using the same disks ?
If yes, I'm 99% sure that it only allows you ( that's how Intel designed it ) to create two RAID "Volumes".
Oh. Well thanks for that! I was just confused. :rofl:Quote:

Got up to 3.4ghz. Don't remember the exact settings. I feel like a noob partially. I haven't been overclocking for a while. lol.
BenchZ help me to 4ghz! :D
I PM'd ya true.Quote:

I'm not really sure what the deal is with the stock. I'd pm saaya, see if he can assist you :up:Quote:

NewEgg will more than likely receive new stock this week
Oh ya, one annoyance.. my dominators are tall enough to not be able to use 2 120mm fans on my Ultra 120X...
So what do I need to get me 4ghz guys?
Water! :up:Quote:
