Foxconn Renaissance X58 Digital Life -Retail- (Core i7, Nehalem)

[SF3D]

Foxconn will soon let this motherboard flow out of their factories to you my dear buddies

This motherboard is targeted to the mainstream market and it will not have all the features, that upcoming Quantum Force series X58 motherboard will have.

This motherboard will not be so expensive, so you might want to check this out.

Specs (some):
* X58 tylersburg chipset
* ICH10-R southbridge
* 6 phase power circuit for CPU
* 2x 16X PCI-E and 2x 8X PCI-E slots
* 6 memory slots for 3-channel memory configurations
* Maximum memory amount xx?
* All basic connectors you need in today computing
* Selectable QPI 4800GT/s, 6400GT/s (Gigatransfers/s)
* All adjustments for basic overclocking

Here is the pictures:





















I don't have the exact time for release and I don't know the exact price, so be patient.

Memory in the pictures are upcoming A-DATA 1GB D9GTR sticks. These should do easily 2000MHz 7-7-7-18. I'll do another test report about the memory later.

Test results will come 13th of November when NDA will be lifted

Reserved for the bios screens:

Thanks for shearing pics Petri.
The board is looking very nice.

How much vDDR you give to do 2000 (7-7-7-18) ?

[Slovnaft]

OK so first question.

WTF is that THING on the NB?!
...it looks like a .... speaker??

heheh so that you will be like this when u use it:



Saaya will understand that joke
Nice pics SF3D!

[Harshal]

Sexy thing!!! Neat HS design too
Me wanty!!!

[BulldogPO]

Very funny looking chipset coolers, SB is like a volume knob and X58 is like a small speaker, hehe.

so this board...doubles as...a....boombox?

guys, it's clearly more than meets the eye.
I would even say it's a ROBOT IN DISGUISE

[Sagart]

Really nice looking board.

[Solarfall]

great looking board im looking forward on seeing some benchies/ bios screens..
lol that NB chipset cooler looks kinda wacky..

[dinos22]

sweeeeet looking "boombox" lol

[nefariouscaine]

speaker???

that was my first thought as well - which socket revision is this slated to be?? and have they finished the debate on if x58 will be CF only or include SLI ??

possible I'm behind the times....

great looking board - thanks for the preview

[moloko]

Nice photos mate. You'll have to teach me to use this camera I've got now. I think it's basically the same as your's wasn't it?

Looking forward to your first results

sweeeeet looking "boombox" lol

Hahah yeah I reckon. It looks wild and nothing like a heatsink. Fingers crossed it doesn't screw with cooling

The next issue of The Overclocker (yeah, I know guys! trust us; very freakin close!) has a sneak peak at an MSI X58 but it is more of a general look and we've included some information regarding multi-GPU solutions.

As for which boards will be CF, which will be SLI and which ones will be both (if that's possible!?), will be dependent on licensing agreements and what features the manufacturers choose to enable i believe. For example, for a board to support SLI, even without the nForce200 chips, it will have to go through NVIDIA's SLI qualification process and this obviously costs money so could still continue to see the lower end of the multi-GPU market dominated by CF setups.

I heard the speaker is for the board to talk to you, ie tell you off for putting too much vmch etc

[Oliver]

Sweet thanks for posting

Somebody finally realized that combining purple with green with blue with neon orange is not the way forwards.

Yes yes, I know some people have done a good job with designs.

I tested those ram yesterday , and i get 2000mhz 7-6-5-15 32M stable for 2.1v on 4 sticks.

[DFI pit bull]

I love the board, but the cooling makes the whole thing look like a cheap hi-fi.

[Catz]

ok not so expensive...

What kind of price range are we talking about?

[SF3D]

It's nice that you all like the board. I'm not 100% sure, that is this the final NB cooler. Saaya is working on it.

When I know the release date and price, I let you all know as soon as possible.

Really? These are really good sticks then. I haven't tested max speeds yet, cause I'm just getting used to this motherboard.


I really would like to show some performance to you guys. All I can say, that it is something crazy and I love it


Here is what CPU-Z tell about the board:

[cadaveca]

I hope it's not final; looks like a small speaker, which has no business inside a PC!!!

[Achill3uS]

congrats m8 for this nice mobo we will have a nice xmas, everybody will bench nehalem at the end of this year...
layout seems perfect, except the NB cooler, i don't like it, saaya be creative but not that much
BUT... if they focus on "digital life / digital home" support and looking, i can smell some quantum force x58 in the future, am i wrong?

[SF3D]

Yep Achilleus! BloodRage is just around the corner

[M3kk]

Its very nice, i like it .

[Catz]

Yep Achilleus! BloodRage is just around the corner

Sweet by reading all these topics where you guys post it's easy to find out stuff about the upcoming bloodrage

Now i know it's not another amd board but X58
