Foxconn Quantum Force 'Blood Rage' X58 Sneak Preview

[Sectorz]

This will be my next board, the design is very cool and ths Saaya for all this things.

Full power for High frenquency on 3 ram slot
One PCI slot free in middle for physx card and 2 4870X2
The 4 hole for put old LGA 775 Copper slug

But for that it a negative point for me

Battry location on the board, why dosen't put it same like Asus P6T ?
Location of the 2 sata port vs buttom and they are not right angles
IDE and floppy, I dont think we need that with Vista and seven

But at the finale this board look amazing .

[VOID WARRANTY]

WOW this board looks awsome obviously from looking at my avatar you can tell i would go for a black and red board with blood in the title...im sticking with lga775 for a while since i game with one card..im not a huge a fan of sli and crossfire...but damn wouldnt this mobo look sick with 2 ATI cards in it...this could go on my future list of boards to buy..

[Frodin]

A Cannibal Corpse Edition so to speak Wish there was a "six string" (mem slots) edition though

[saaya]

Full power for High frenquency on 3 ram slot

its crazy though, tripple phase is soooo overpowered for mem

One PCI slot free in middle for physx card and 2 4870X2

or you run a vga as physix card and run tripple sli plus physix our board is the only x58 board that can actually do that

The 4 hole for put old LGA 775 Copper slug

yeah baby

Battry location on the board, why dosen't put it same like Asus P6T ?

foxconn used those in the past and they break easily... they had a lot of rma issues cause people broke the battery holders so they stopped using them...

Location of the 2 sata port vs buttom and they are not right angles

i know... but its not that bad, we bundle 90 degree cables so even if you use 4 vgas you can still use the sas slots

IDE and floppy, I dont think we need that with Vista and seven

well... some people still need floppy to install raid drivers etc... i agree about ide though!

But at the finale this board look amazing .

thanks!

Any info about price and availability in Europe?

[Sectorz]

Saaya we have a big probleme in canada , I think nobody will sell this board because (for do fast) distributor dosen't like stock Foxconn and others reasons.

NCIX.com

I'm not going to get into too many details but a big problem is how a company like Foxconn engages with the reseller channel. There is no communication directly from Foxconn to us so we have no idea what products are coming down the pipe. Their choices in distribution partners is another issue and yes, there is a big chicken / egg scenario that Saaya has outlined above but again, distribution is Foxconn's customer, not us directly and they are failing to get stock to an entity that we can buy from.

I think it's great thing for company reps to be active with the end user community but the unfortunate thing is that their entire organization isn't on the same page and until they engage with us you'll see very limited representative with Foxconn in the Canadian market (eg. it's not like we're one of the only larger Canadian resellers to not stock Foxconn). I'm not here to try slag or slander them but we've tried to get this fixed in the past and we haven't really moved forward so we're kind of stuck in a rut on our side

NCIX staff, this is the reply I got from Saaya (a foxconn designer and fellow XS overclocker when I told him your reply about "We'll have it if the distributors have it"


"nope, thats the problem!
the shops say we will have it if the distributors have it
the distributors say we will have it if the shops want it

thats why nothing is moving...
its the most common problem worldwide regarding bad product availability.
the customers want it, but the shops never forward the customer demands to the distributors, so then the distributors stick to the same product list they always had cause nobody is asking them for something else... : /"

Please tell your distributors that many people here want it!

If you can do something for some distributor would stock it .... this will be nice.

[Bojamijams]

I talked to Saaya in PM's which is where he posted that.. I don't think he can do much on that end.. at least, thats the impression that I got.

I really hope something changes on some end this time around though. I really want the BR.

[saaya]

thanks for that, i forwarded it to our sales team, and ill try to stay on top of it and see if i can push something.
things are definately improving, and i think we can get things with the distribution channel worked out before the end of the year!

[jasonelmore]

yeah i hope you guys get this thing launced soon.. You guys have missed out on soooooooooo many sales and so much money by not having it available yet. but i hope everything works out!

I hope this will be before Christmas holiday, I cannot wait 1 more month, I think I will choice Rampage II

[kronos]

I find that the news that the Bloodrage might not come out until the end of the year is very disappointing. I had decided to make the Boodrage my next purchase. LOL, when it comes to upgrades for my computer I'm afraid I don't have much patience in waiting for what I want. I guess I'll start looking at the Gigabyte x58 xtreme instead.

I think the availability might be a bit sooner then that here in the U.S.

I certainly hope so, I really like the look and features of the Bloodrage.

[MpG]

+1 for Canadian retail. I'd love to try one of these for myself. I suppose that the Egg will stock it at least, but I'm not sure I want to try it so badly that I'd be willing to bend over for their extra taxes and UPS shipping.

Long time no see

[Bojamijams]

Just spotted this.

Early BCLK of 220 is nice...

[jasonelmore]

Nice results on the BCLK. My only complaint is the missing onboard audio on the board. It comes in handy sometimes. This will be great for Nvidia's upcomming Dual GPU's and 4870X2's. Dual removable bios is becomming a standard almost with these X58 boards.

[shoopdawoopa]

good find cant wait till I can get my hands on one of those bad boys

[saaya]

the board is pretty much done, but we are waiting for... china... again... :P
i wish i could get down there quickly and :whip: :P

boards should be available in 1-2 weeks guys, hang in tight! its worth the wait!

I hope this will be before Christmas holiday, I cannot wait 1 more month, I think I will choice Rampage II

itll be available before christmas, 100%

missing audio? what do you mean?
theres an add-in audio card we bundle with the board, same as on blackops and avanger and we bundle a creative xifi driver with it that enables software CMSS 3D and EAX 4.0!
the unique thing is that you guys can chose if you want the creative driver or just the default realtek driver

just a few more days, hang in there guys!

yeah my bad.. all of the pic's i've seen with the rigs actually hooked up and running just did'nt install it I guess. It made me wonder. But its nice to know it will be there. Are you guys going to at least make one board that will do 3 way dual slot SLI in the future? I hope you make at least one model instead of this dual gpu configuration. Next may or june when all these nice Direct X 11 cards are comming out the option to put 3 of them in a rig would be awsome.

btw keep up the good work

[bonobo]

itll be available before christmas, 100%

I hope i will be able to get one in France for X-mas :-)
It will be my self-offered gift ...

[saaya]

well you can run tripple sli on this board as well, one card needs to be watercooled, then it all fits fine
there are watercooled cards available afaik, so one of those plus two regular gtx280 or 260 cards will do just fine in tripple sli
or you watercool all cards, then you can even use a 4th card for gpgpu physics PLUS tripple sli!
no other x58 board can do that

[bonobo]

no other x58 board can do that

YES ! WE CAN !



( i hope we will soon see some great box containing this card and 3 GTX280 WCooled + another nvidia card for Physx ... Traffic Jam under the hood ... )

[saaya]

are you asking me to do that?
