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

[pajaa]

it wasnt my decision to put it on there, but i dont see whats wrong with it?
you prefer a board with less features? :P

Nothing's wrong. The opposite is right: A nice-to-have feature, even on a mainstream board
Ich wollte nur ein wenig draufrum reiten, das ist alles.

i
theres this alley in taipei with a small run down shop that sell them
whats wrong with the name?
if you have a better one let me hear it

There is a shop that sells Codenames? I did'nt know that.
Well, I haven't a better one... It's like Intel: Bad Axe, Bonetrail, Skulltrail, SmackOver.
So Foxconn has its blood line.

for quantum force, digital life is a different department

I didn't know that. Thanks

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:

Saaya good motherboard, Foxconn in the past year has much improved the layout of their cards, if the blackops has proved an excellent product this card will not be less....

Nahalem along with the bus qpi are excellent tools for every overclocker, the difference of architecture with out the performance level will allow for easier management of DDR3 phase Vs. Intel Memory controller.

If you have good micron GTS or GTR with low cas, the Nahalem architecture break new overclock record......

I have this board in my hands right now. I will add some pictures latter.

[fatman]

board is very nice i like the openness of everything. like the new style of nb and sd cooling alot really nice, colors are great like the scheme alot, get rid of ide and add more sata i know you cant do that but it would be nice. like the new power and reset buttons? or just a label? not sure.

this board is really nice i would love to get it. cant wait to see what the quantum series will be

yay 2 e sata make me happy.

[pcaddict]

lots of usb's nice (:

[Lagaaja]

Board seems sick, I'd like to get my hands on that beauty. Altough I'm bit worried about the cooling..

[SF3D]

Altough I'm bit worried about the cooling..

Actually this cooling solution is not bad. I just measured the temperature and it is 29C idle and 36C on load. (Vantage)

I have this little Quantum Force fan attached to the NB cooler

Nice pictures ! SF3D

There are lots of rumours concerning processor and memory voltage with Nehalem. Some claim that they're synchronized - going over 1.65V for memory can kill your cpu.

Is it true or just fud? (I suspect fud, but one can never be sure)

[Astratuner]

to bad you can use only 1333 ddr3 memory since all the faster ones require to much voltage.


man this s*** hard.

[SF3D]

Haha guys

Don't be so negative! I have used 1.8V+ memory voltage two days now and there is no problems.

If your CPU is really early ES, there might be problems. Those CPU's are not in public use, so this shouldn't be an issue.

Memory will overclock like before and in this board you can choose speeds up to 2000MHz(DDR3) (800,1066,133,1600,1800,2000)

I tested my sticks today at 1400MHz and 6-6-6-15 timings (1.8V)

Run some dual 32M Pi with that voltage just to see

[Astratuner]

SF3D see how long you can keep it that way

[SF3D]

Run some dual 32M Pi with that voltage just to see

I did dual 32M and quad 32M without problems

SF3D see how long you can keep it that way

I will

I will

and when can you share those numbers with us petri ??

[DMH]

SF3D you broke the myth of the synchronous voltages.
Probably those warnings are simply to alert to that fact

[HDCHOPPER]

exellent color's !

my fav black & burnt orange HD raceing colors

cant wait for the QF release of it

[M3kk]

my fav black & burnt orange HD raceing colors

Same here, my favorite color combination .

[tiro_uspsss]

from the roller-coaster coolers of MSI to the wacky speaker'n'knob coolers of Foxconn..

simplicity ppl, simplicity

that x58 is HUGE

anyone knows why? AFAIK it's just pci-e, DMI and QPI buses there.

[billdavis]

right

were all going to abide buy the recomended voltage, SURE

[Creep-DK]

OFC we are

Anyways damn nice looking mobo, good chance i'll be getting myself one of them for x-max heheh

[pcaddict]

very nice looking board!

[Anemone]

Well while I'm not a fan of Orange, you clearly outbid Asus on the Orange/gold pci-e x16 slots. Perhaps you could send one of your color specialists to Asus to show them what a consistent color scheme really looks like so they have a chance to come out with a P6T mark 2

But personally prefer blue/black and red/black and lastly green/black, but at least it's got a clean, consistent look to it.

[SF3D]

I have some good news for you guys!

The price of this motherboard will be around 250 USD. (185€)

This motherboard should be available immediately when Core i7 is launched.
