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

[ICEEXOL]

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)



Fox Central Control Unit section under BIOS has voltage settings. It says CPU VTT is default and 1.707 Volt.



Then i loaded latest BIOS version P10 and now it shows 3.4 Volt!
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 1.1v

How did you manage to get a pre-release board?

[ICEEXOL]

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

[ICEEXOL]

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?

[ICEEXOL]

Mostly yes base clock 200 mhz and with multiplier 20.

[methimpikehoses]

Anyone have updates on this board? Are most getting up to 4ghz with the 920?

[breathemetal]

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?

i saw 2 or 3 people achieve 220 bclock screenshots and i think they ran 4ghz stable with a 920, but i dont remember if it was on air, sorry...

but with recent 920s 4ghz on air doesnt seem to be a problem at all, and the board can run 200bclock+, so yeah, it should work fine.

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

[Ch3ck5um]

I am very interested in finding chipset and mosfet blocks also

[Ch3ck5um]

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.
