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

[Kensek]

Yeah..and if you read the whole thread you can see quite a lot of benchmark results What kind of benchmarks you guys want to see, if these are not good for you?

BIOS screens will come soon. I have so much to do and some trips coming, that I haven't been able to pload them yet

Show me if this board can do 35*128 with a i7 965 on Water. And what voltages are needed.

My R2E maxes out at 35*126 with Ram running at DDR3-2021 8-8-8-20.

[BenchZowner]

Don't worry SF3D, I'll post BIOS shots tomorrow more than likely.
Have fun at CES

[dengyong]

3.8ghz (i7-p20)
Vclock:1.3
Cooler Master V8

80-90c Load (Prime95.)

Is this to much? I idle at 39c and on stock settings 39c idle with a 50c load.

Could you list your actual bios settings.

Is your vcore 1.3v under load ?
Turbo on ?
Ht on ?

[trueplaya4ever8]

I wish these this board was in stock!!

I want one.

[Spoiler]

I was surprised I was able to get one too. I saw it in stock on Christmas Eve, so I jumped on it. I will post some more pics a little later on in the water cooling section, but here is one of them:

[Nostromo]

Spoiler, that is sweet!

[kiyka]

[saaya]

wow, beautiful systems there spoiler and kiyka!
what case is that again spoiler? the whole thing is painted, even inside, looks damn nice...
is it good paint? does it scratch easily or is it rather resistant? how about dust sticking to it?
now all you need is a side panel for that case wich is almost entirely plexi glass to keep people from sneezing and slobbering watermarks onto the thing

good to hear nobody else had problems with the spdif or anything else beeing broken.
any updates on that broken spdif thing then? any pics? what about newegg, they will replace it fine right?
I hope they dont blame the shipping company and then they blame newegg etc... let me know if you have any trouble getting it rma'ed, just send me a pm

EDIT: kensek, we are still working on 30+ cpu multipliers, for now 30/31/32, depending on the cpu, seems to be the highest that works reliably.

[dengyong]

saaya, so many people want this board and can't find it. When will it become readily available ?

I had the issue with the stock cooler. At load it would reach 100c load. I took it off and put the Cooler master V8 on it. Stock would net me 55-60c load and at 3.8 It was 100c load again.

I took it off and reset it. (Both stock and V8 using Arctic Silver 5)
Now I get 95c load at 3.8 and, 55c stock.

I've installed plenty of heat sinks so I'm pretty sure it's not a mounting issue.
I was thinking maybe CPU is uneven and needs lapping but I don't want to void warranty the same week I just got it.

You have a PM, so we won't highjack this thread.

[LockBreaker]

What do you think about the block? Is it solidly built or is it just, well, trash like the Fuzion block from Asus? Any leaks sofar?

** I know you probably discussed this earlier, but I don't really have the time to read the entire thread when I'm at school. It would have been really helpful if someone just could post their experiences. **

SF3D: I wasn't aware of that you posted your overclocking results on the fly in this thread. Thought they'd come along with the BIOS screens in the second post.

[Touge180SX]

I've had the system running for a week 24/7 with no leaks whatsoever! Definitely a solid waterblock.

[LockBreaker]

Thanks for the swift reply. Good to hear. If I don't spot any cracks when I get the board (havent ordered yet though, because it's not in stock) I would definitly connect it.

[saaya]

saaya, so many people want this board and can't find it. When will it become readily available ?

within the next weeks it should be better as we ramp up production.
actually its our pcb vendor who couldnt ramp up production quickly... i dont know for sure, but i heard a lot of companies in china laid off a lot of their work force or sent them to early new years vacation or unpaid vacation cause of the economic crisis. as a result almost all chinese manufacturers cant cope with their orders atm and i keep hearing from several people that they have to wait for china for a few weeks. this includes everything... i wanted to buy a new bed last week and they told me its made in china and they have delays for all their orders now...

Sorry for not beeing able to supply as many boards as people want to get one atm ...

not that i know of, the block has a solid 2mm thick copper base and then a brass top which is soldered/brazed together and pressure tested.
the barbs are soldered/brazed to the top and are also brass. the bars are 1/2" and the block is 2.5" x 1.5" roughly, thats 65x35mm..

its big and heavy...

Heavy is an understatement Saaya! But it is awesome and not so heavy that it will break anything, definitely feels solid!

[Touge180SX]

Thought I would throw up some pics of my Bloodrage rig. Corsair HX1000 labels are being done in red as we speak. Also some pics of the rig in the dark with red cathode tubes installed:

[dpa]

Iam gonna need two boards, one for 24/7 usage, and one for benching! Love the waterblock on NB.. Gigabyte UD5 - your out!!

(with 2 x 295 this board will be awesome)

damn thats nice!
you need a better cam!!!
or did you downsize those pics a lot?

FYI, heres the BloodRage QuantumStream block compared to the Asus and Gigabyte. somebody asked about the sizes etc







Foxconn: copper base with bronze/brass top and 1/2" barbs
Asus: copper base and top with 1/3" aluminum barbs
Gigabyte: bronze/brass base, top and 1/3" barbs, covered with a thin layer of copper

Im a little surprised and the enthusiast in me is dissapointed that asus and gigabyte both stopped offering waterblocks on their high end boards... asus at least leaves the option to add a waterblock on their board, but for a 400$ board not adding a basic 10$ waterblock is kinda dissapointing. Our block costs about double that, and the board costs only 300$... i figured its worth it and i hope you guys think so too.
For those of you who dont, hold tight, there will be a new board very soon, BloodRage GTi, without the waterblock and Ln2/Dry ice pot, and without the SAS option and it will cost even less than the current board

[Touge180SX]

Thanks Saaya! Yes, I did downsize those pics quite a bit but I also need a new camera, those were taken with my Japanese cell phone!

this is my mail to Foxconn :p

Hi, i'm interested to buy a Blood Rage MoBo but i wanna know the dimensions of the barbs of the North Bridge WaterBlock.

Are 1/2 or 3/8?

Thanks in advantage, bye

and this is their reply

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for supporting Foxconn product.
The size of North Bridge WaterBlock is 3/8''.

Best Regards,

now what can i say?

[saaya]

Thanks Saaya! Yes, I did downsize those pics quite a bit but I also need a new camera, those were taken with my Japanese cell phone!

damn, which model? for a cellphone thats nice! my nokia 6300 is way blurry compared to that... if i take landscape pics the nokia 6300 is fine, but as soon as theres something closer than 1 meter it gets blurry and the colors are distorted.

but its so damn nice to use your mobile as a camera... :P
i just cant get myself to buy a standalone cam...
once you got used to just snapping out a thin small phone to take a pic or video, yu really dont wanna go back to carrying a camera with you

now what can i say?

haha, lol... who did you email?
could you please forward the emails to me?
ill pm you my email address... thanks!

That's with my Casio Exilim (yes, like their cameras) cell phone which is only here in Japan as far as I know. It has a 5.1MP camera on it and those pics were taken with macro shot on and horrible lighting.

Remeber to post some screens here Everest + CPU-Z etc.

Sorry guys, got myself excited about 1905 RAM speed, however, turns out if you dont change uncore speed/ratio, target memory goes unchanged, even tho the BIOS keeps it at the same level (noob mistake ).

Upon attempting to increase the uncore to 20x and the memory to 10x, the mobo went bonkers, first boot I got the BIOS screen and beep fest @ CAS 9.

I would also like to mention the RAID capabilities of this board. Unfortunately, you are unable to use both the Intel and Marvell controllers at the same time. I also noticed a TREMENDOUS difference in boot up times vs the 2 controllers.

Intel = <=10s boot up time (starting from the rolling Windows XP GUI)
Marvell = >=20s boot up time (sticks on the rolling bar for about 2-4s)

[ChaosAD]

Still waiting for some Everest/NB temps (idle/load) screens. I hope it will reach Greece no later than early february
