Foxconn Bloodrage-Quantum Force- -X58- -Retail-

[SamTrooper]

I received an email confirmation from Newegg that they ship out this week.

HOW? newegg.ca doesen't have this in their stock list? and I tried ordering from Newegg.com and they wont ship to canada. Your shipping to a US address?

I'm in EU so same problem.

i can't find it anywhere
i need this mobo because my homemade cpu pot has only 775 bracket and my phase also
can anyone pvt me a shop?

Why do you absolutely "need" this board for 775 bracket? The Asus P6T has the same option.

[carpo93]

asus p6t doesn't have 775 mounting holes , only 1336 but bloodrage has both 775 and 1336 mounting holes

Wrong, try again. This isn't some unique feature only exclusive to the Bloodrage board.

Perhaps you should swing by Newegg next time and take a look at the pictures before being so hasty to counter me with false information?

Are you sure of that?

Only thing I am certain of is that Newegg indeed did send me an email confirmation via auto notify stating that the Bloodrage would begin shipping Jan. 2/09
As far as them backing that up, I can't comment

I also noticed that Newegg.com does have the item listed at their website, but not in stock

As far as shipping to Canada goes, I've contacted Newegg.ca and awaiting their response to availability, in the meanwhile, I will find another online retailer, US or Canadian as soon as the the mobo becomes available.

So it's just a matter of when and where

Damn, i have to buy a new mobo next week, nothing to do, so i'll get EVGA or Gigabyte

right on well I've been looking on dozens of sites every day with no luck if you find a place that ships in canada let me know :-)

We may not want to rush out and get the next Bloodrage available on NewEgg. Anandtech updated their preview and said that Foxconn figured out the incompatibility with some > 1000watt PSUs: they've replaced 3 SMT resistors. However, who knows if the board you buy has that problem corrected, especially since it's doubtful the resupply this week is going to have the fix. I'm using a Corsair HX620 right now, so if I bought a Bloodrage now I wouldn't have a problem, but if I upgraded the PSU in a year or so and discovered the problem, then who knows if I could RMA it (and then there's the hassle). So I would think we'd need the board revision number of the good board and know that's what we're buying from NewEgg, et al, before clicking the Buy Now button.

It doesn't look a major issue.
At least not at the moment, because there are only 3 models listed to have those compatibility issues, and some people report no problems with them, so you'll have to hit the "wrong" revision of the PSU.
Rushing is not a good option in everything in life though

[davidoff619]

Ouch the best comes with problems that's what happens with such a huge Market with so many differnt sets of ram, grapics cards and psu let alone CPUs when the range grows later this next year. Nothing is perfect a least conpaterbilty is not such a big problem at the begin of a new chipset. Think about it!

[Razer(x)]

Nobody is selling this mobo?

Where are you located ?

[SamTrooper]

I have yet to find once place that has it in stock and selling it. Had my i7 for a month already.

So I got my bloodrage in from NewEgg today. It was the final component I unboxed.

I was so thrilled. The packaging was great. The included materials were awesome. The quality looked wonderful....until.

I lift the mobo out of the box and hear something rattling. It was the S/PDIF input rattling around, completely broken off. My friend screamed bloody murder. I just sat there in silence.

I am not even mad, I am so disappointed. I am sure tomorrow the shock will wear off and I will get the "mad".

The odds of me getting this board in, any time soon, is slim to none. I built my new system around this and am totally dejected that I might have to adjust mid stream...

So sad.

The worst part is I don't even know if that connector will even matter to me. But the idea that it was broken, right out of the box makes me want to hurl.

I hope no one else encounters this.

Sorry to hear bro, hopefully you will have it replaced in real time.

This also confirms email confirmation I recieved from Newegg that the Bloodrage is now shipping

the first sad story of blood rage. ask for a rmb, use it until you see the board in stock again, then send it back and switch

[s002wjh]

Asus acted like a copycat and "copied" Foxconn's idea on the new revision of the P6T.
Those aren't distributed to every place in europe yet AFAIK.

looks a nice board, love the red and the post screen LOL but however it seems to me that it lacks the quality of the rampage II will be intresting to see what OC results come off it.

Oh my what a c**nt

I did some more testing yesterday. I found the limits of this CPU.

Setup:
Foxconn Bloodrage
Intel Core i7 965 (week 36A)
A-DATA 1600X (Micron D9GTR) this kit is designed for X48, but I use three of them.
Foxconn GTX 280
Thermaltake 1200W


Here is 32M at 4970MHz:


32M is scaling directly with CPU speed now. Tweaks are getting less and less important, so you can do these pure MHz runs easily.
