Re-Pin it. I take one pin to the middle gap of the plug and plug it in - one side of the plug just protrudes.

Here's the bclk I was able to do back on 30th jan with a 'bad' 965 and watercooling













220bclk solid for all the benchies us at Benchtec are interested in

I am using a 2x1GB Kingston DDR3 and 1x1GB Crucial DDR3 as well, which isn't helping!

I have a new i7 920 to test with now so hopefully we will see an improvement.

Hey Guys, was cruising Alternate.be last night and walked in and purchased this today. http://www.alternate.be/html/product...l?artno=GTEF02

It is now a 2 day wait but it wasn't a bad score since they are a mile from the shack!!!

Will wait till I get back from work (6-8 weeks) and hopefully throw in a Revision D of some kind,...hmmmm 975 ...... buy some ram...( is that new Corsair Dominator GT (never in stock) compatible???) Might of read in the Dom thread that it doesn't clock too high with this board...rats!

AnYWaY....its here...its a sIcK l00KiNg board!!...going to go check the rev # right now & a BIG Thanks to everybody in this thread... a vertible wealth of knowledge & intel....

Max of my CPU. QPI Fast Mode.

johnegq, could you please pm me all the details?
system config and when exactly what happens, what you changed in the system to try and fix it, and if it ever worked fine or was DOA pretty much.

thanks!

This is my Results. I Love this Board. Where is the New Bios?

nice! did you play with the chipset voltages already? tried more vtt? might get you up to 220

Dont know whats going on here,with HT the highest BCLK i can boot is 166.
Without HT high BCLK is possible.
Bios is G13.

did you try a more recent bios?
are you sure you set qpi uncore and mem multipliers correctly?

There are reports that Vista Sleep mode is broken on Bloodrage. I can get this mobo, but won't if SM doesn't work. Would somebody take 30 seconds and go into sleep mode and see if the board resumes from SM correctly? Thanks.

it works with G15 and G16, not sure about the newer ones, havent had time to test it.

i don`t need so much VTT. Is this right that VTT is only for OC the Memory and the Uncore?

you also need it for high bclock speeds and high qpi speeds, but the newer i7 cpus seem to need much less vtt than previous ones for everything, high uncore, qpi, bclock and mem clocks. looks like you have a recent one wich clocks very nicely!

i'm using it, no problem at all. hitting 1650 with cas 7, and 1800 with cas 8 1.64v

thanks for the feedback

I have a problem with my case, for the power led it is a 3pin pin connector. 2 wires on each end meaning the middle pin slot is empty. Where do i plug this in so it works properly because according to the manual it should be a 2 pin.

yeah thats annoying, i had that a few times as well... most cases use a 2 pin cable, thats why we use a 2pin connector... you should be able to remove the cables like SAE mentioned, if thats not possible please pm me and ill see if i can help you somwhow

nice scores m8! thanks for sharing

@saya
IOH are set to 1,12v. The other Normal.

Could someone do a quick test...go into vista S3 sleep mode and see what happens upon resume, does it hang, or does everything work correctly?
This must be done at a BCLK of at least 200. Thanks?

[saaya]

inzaghi75, did you try more?

looks like s3 resume is broken on G19, on G15 and G16 it worked at stock but i dont know if it worked at 200 Bclock.

I would love to read thru all 20 pages of results, but has anyone reached ddr3 2500mhz+ as newegg states in thier description?

NewEgg and end users make various statements, what they keep on forgetting is to mention that you need a super duper cherry-picked godlike memory kit.
Not to mention only a very limited amount of people have laid their hands on memory kits with the good Elpida ICs.

On the other side, this motherboard is taking every single DIMM of mine at least 50MHz ( DDR3-100 ) higher than any other board.

Have someone in A-Data or Corsair bin some kits for me and I'll hit it

Thanks Saaya. I need to return my gigabyte board to amazon by 4pm mountain time, tomorrow (thursday Feb.12) . If I find that SM does work at 200 BCLK before that time, I'll send the giga back and get a bloodrage. Otherwise, I'll keep the giga. Hopefully, someone will perform the simple test in time to help me.

With G13 Bios SM runs very fine @ 19x211,with G19 like saaya said its broken

@saaya The problem is gone,i have written it last site

But also with the new Bios @ 21x191 i7 Turbo Tool shows around 20,7x under load
And i need more VCore as 19x211

[Lu(ky]

If any one knows where to buy this board in the US please let me know.. I googled this board and found a couple of places but when my order was almost placed they changed the order to pre-order? So I assume they do not even have the board but when I started it says in stock NEW... Thanks..

thanks jooney. I assume everything worked properly when you came out of SM. This helps me a great deal.
BTW, any problem of note with G13?

Re-Pin it. I take one pin to the middle gap of the plug and plug it in - one side of the plug just protrudes.

Cheers!

Never mind. Had to do it several times.

/edit. What's up with G19? Any good?

[roller11]

Re: Smart Fan in BIOS...if SF is choosen, can the user create/specify a SF profile, or, is there only a predefined fixed profile available?

OK i went thru all the 3 bios, G13, G15, G16 and for sure i liked G13 the best. took me the longest time to figure out how to get 215 x 21 but i got it, tomorrow I will play more... she needs to cool down...

When will the turbo bug be resolved? Asus had it managed why Foxconn can't do it!

Idle




Load-> -200MHz overclocking failed

Turbo works just fine for me.
Which BIOS version are you running ?
Have you enabled PPM, EIST, and disabled CxE ?
Have you set the Turbo Mode to Always On ?

Are your CPU's core temps under 90C @ Full Load ?

[Mayk-Freak]

Bios G19 PPM,EIST enabled and disabled CxE CPU Temps OK!

Idle



Load -200MHz

Hi you all bloodlovers ,

as this is the most active post for the bloodrage , i thought i try to post my bizzare mem problem here ik the hope to find a answer.
I have some experience with overclocking a core 2 duo and so ... but i7 is
something new for me and trying to get the picture
I'v read the most of the posts here and now there are some bios related mem problems, but wat ik encounter is somthing verry strange ( i think?) lol.
Whel let me explain my problem first.
It seems my memory (corsair dominator 1886MHz cl 9-9-9-24) only gos higher when i hit my bclk ip ? you say "dude thas normal?" I know but wy run my mem @ 1444MHz when ik set Bclk to 180 x 20 = 3600 an mem multi @ 10x,
It shouldn't hit 1600MHz wright? it always set the mem linked to my (fsb)speeds , no mether what mem multiplayer i use ? It only gos up when i higher my fsb !!
i try to explain wit pics ;-)

These are the settings i use

It took me the longest time to figure that was the combo, i thought i was sol, then i finally got it, an that sweet turbo came on.

I also love the ability to save different configs, top notch


wow 90c that is stokin....
