(PR) Foxconn X58 Blood Rage Sets World Record DDR3 Overclock

[bigslappy]

Blood RAGE, the latest member of Foxconn's Quantum Force family with Intel X58 chipset, sets the highest record of DDR3 memory overclocking with Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz armed by a Taiwan overclocker.

With a score of 2513.8MHz (1256.9*2) the test has produced one of the highest OC scores of all time, i.e., a new world record using A-DATA DDR3 800 Memory.

You heard it 1st here at RRR tech News !!

[Kayin]

Nice, but waiting for Phenom II.

"Foxconn is preparing a flagship X58 board from the Quantum Force series known as "Blood Rage" apart from Renaissance X58 board shown a few months ago. The specs looks pretty impressive with the ability to support Quad Crossfire and 3-way SLI + PhysX with four PCIe 2.0 slots, 3 channel DDR3 memory up to 1800MHz (oc), 14 phase hybrid PWM and DirectFET MOSFET technology, 4in1 Quantum cooler that provides modular NB/SB/VRM cooling solution with interchangeable NB chooling adaptors for air/water or extreme cooling. There is also a QF Panel for on-the-fly overclocking from the 5.25" drive bay and a Quantum BIOS with all the OC options. The audio aspect seems pretty neat with SONAR X-Fi sound card comes bundled. There is also a Serial Attached SCCI interface too. We can't wait to get our hands on this board!"

[RedRaider]

IMO, the most prOnific MB I've ever laid these eye's upon....:slobber:

[Demthios]

Yeah I'm debating between this and the Rampage for my i7 Build...but one pretty board...

[RedRaider]

Yeah I'm debating between this and the Rampage for my i7 Build...but one pretty board...

For me, it's the eVGA x58 or this siiiiick RED bitch...:slobber:

[zlojack]

It is somewhat Red Raiderish, isn't it?

It's a beauty, that's for sure!

[bigslappy]

performance pwns beauty in my book ... If it's a pig with RED lipstix & RED high heels.............



it's still a pig............... if i want to get a woodie by looking at some beauty I go to the Strip Club ! Bada BinG !! Kapish !!

testing testing testing ..................................

[zlojack]

True enough, Slappy.

That said, Foxconn has been making some sweet boards these days. Nothing wrong with having beauty AND performance :D

[RedRaider]

I want a RED eVGA x58 board....:bat:

[Xilikon]

R3, you can do the motherboard with the colors you want just by getting a black board like EVGA then get red waterblocks from BP or just powdercoat them yourself (I assume BP waterblocks tops is also metal).

[RedRaider]

Yeah, the tops are metal. What I like are the red slots on the board.

I don't like the green / blue / white of the new eVGA x58 board, but I'm a eVGA fanatic due to their industry leading customer service. :up:

eVGA for life, bro....:afro:

I like EVGA's service as well, but I like the clocks I'm getting out of my Gigabyte board so far!!;)

[utnorris]

The real question is whether it will ever get released. Also, Red, just use a can of red spray paint and paint the MB. :D

[Overclocking101]

there ya go fit heres ya new board!

[bianco]

looks pretty awesome... i would've waited for this board to be available in sg.

but damn those pci express slots spacing...
i cannot see how to fit tri sli 280s with ek waterblocks in there...

[Sadasius]

Damn that is one sexy motherboard. I hope to see more boards come out like this.

<---Oh and on another note....How many posts does it take to get rid of this 'Weaksauce' title?

[Big_Daddy]

30, then you become an "Air-Cooler"

[Sadasius]

30, then you become an "Air-Cooler"

Gawd that's worse....Would rather be called a "WeakSauce" then an "Air-Cooler"...:(

[Demthios]

LOL thats great BD!

Back on topic I just hope that when/if this board gets released the BP will come out with a full board block with the same color scheme.

[Boyu]

if BP come with some RED anodized block that will be awesome.

[Sadasius]

if BP come with some RED anodized block that will be awesome.

It would be awesome indeed!

[Kayin]

Nice board. What, bout 400 bucks?

Keep i7. Going Phenom II when I go.

[Ricey]

A lot of show, is there any go? I'll pass.

I don't care if it set a world record if its as stable as a whore in a crack house.

[HESmelaugh]

I have two things to say about this board:

1. It has mounts for 775 as well as 1366 blocks which would make it perfect for testing waterblocks.

2. For the reason stated above, I want this board! Sponsors please! :D

[Ricey]

On the other hand, the four PCI-E slots would make one hell of a F@H machine with four GTX280s with single slot waterblocks!

That NB waterblock looks like its evil anodized aluminum !!

[Fitseries3]

i honestly dont like this board. its overrated and i dont see why everyone is creaming thier pants over it. is it the red and black combo?

im just speaking from a visual standpoint though. i havent looked at the OCability yet.

Visually it's the purest pr0n ever made....:slobber: It's fucking red and black, bro. Doesn't get any better than that, IMO.

It damn sure doesn't look like some kind of fucking Pokemon MB, like most on the market always do...

[Kayin]

gotta collect all the motherboards... I mean Pokemon.

[Sniper]

To much red for my liking. I used to like the bling crazy colors but i'm more defined now.

Red this would look good in your setup I think dude!

My R2E will look much nicer sitting in the Pinnacle24 when I get it I think than it does in the H2g0.

[RedRaider]

Pokemon = Gigabyte.... :puke1:

[Fitseries3]

all i was saying is everyone has been jizzing their pants for weeks now just by looking at the board. to me its just a Renaissance with less features and red instead of orange. sure it has a better NB cooling setup but if you went water wouldn't you go with a better block like EK or something?

all in all i would take one yes... but im not even close to thinking its the sexiest board in the world. i definatly wouldn't strap my cock to it and blast off into space as one person on TPU said about it.

haha, that post made me crack up, I wonder who that could have been, sounds like something solaris would say, crazy fu**er hehe.

THe board looks great IMO, has anybody used it already?

FoxConn included cooling solutions ..... :puke1:

[coolmiester]

Just had a reply from Foxconn (nothing we didn't already know tbh) - yes the Blood Rage is being shown at CES and speak to your relevant retailers (http://www.foxconnchannel.com/support/buyinfo.aspx) as to when they will have them available.

On a side note, there is a relatively new BIOS for DX58SO Smackover with another already in the pipeline so i think this is the board for me especially as Intel were good to me in the past :hehe:
BIOS Update [SOX5810J.86A] Version 2786 (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=3018&OSFullname=OS+Independent&lang=eng&strOSs=38)

[utnorris]

New review out, release date will be January, price will be around the same as the Rampage Extreme II.

http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=16666

[utnorris]

Just got confirmation that this board will retail for around $300. Let me say that again, $300. That's less than the Asus Rampage II. This is going to be a hot board. :D

[Ricey]

Why is it that the NB block is anodized aluminum? Why haven't these Taiwanese learned already?

[Lu(ky]

Why is it that the NB block is anodized aluminum? Why haven't these Taiwanese learned already?

Ya I agreed I think they try to save money but at the end they hurt us more. I have the BlackOps x48, and I was able to get a replacement all COPPER block from one of the guys from Xtremesystems. (no charge) And I really liked my BlackOps board very easy setup and the dual bios is great! One for regular bios and one for a beta bios. But I am currently selling my x48 board because I have the new i7 setup sitting here waiting to be put together. ;)

[Ricey]

I would prefer to stick to a Rampage II Extreme. At least there's a drop and fit proper NB block that will fit, and readily available in large quantities too. The manufacturer's mentality alone doesn't exude a whole lot of confidence.

Some more pictures I stumbled across on the web...

[Big_Daddy]

Is that support for 755 or 1366 coolers that I see?

[utnorris]

its at newegg for $299 right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RedRaider]

Yes it is...:D

[Cutless009]

wtf, only 3 dimm slots? Thats kinda fail for a brand new board :down:

[zlojack]

I think it's targeted specifically for the user who will never need 12GB
I mean...how long before 12GB are going to really be needed over 6GB?

[Xilikon]

I agree with Cutless009, while this may be a cost-saving idea, it will bite you in the ass in case you bought 3x1GB and want to add more ;) I would rather pay for a board with enough expansion options to last a while.

[coolmiester]

Three OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Blade Series Low Voltage Triple Channel (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr3_pc3_16000_blade_series_low_voltage_triple _channel) should do the trick :)

Still considering this board tbh.

[RedRaider]

I'd prefer MUSHKIN RedLine when available...:slobber:

[Cutless009]

How about right now? When you render things with high end 3D software all of the data is stored in the memory so its not constantly reading and writing at the same time to and from your hard drive so its not killing it, and I cant tell you how often I run into the "this program is out of memory and will now close." error, its annoying as hell and I spend hours trying to optimize scenes so they will fucking render. Professional 3D workstations run on 64gb of ram and they have farms of render-stations that have nothing but a 100gb hd, 4 quad-core processors, and 64gb of ram to do the rendering.

Plus another commonly over-looked aspect of ram is this. In gaming all the data for a level is cached into ram, and whatever doesn't fit into ram has to be loaded when you encounter it for the first time, which means it has to ditch something else, which means its constantly causing you lag time from having to load/reload textures etc. The more ram you have, the more texture and mesh data can be stored in the ram, meaning less laggy laggy in games.

When you think about the fact that a common humanoid model in todays PC-oriented games is around 12,000 tri's and has a color map, a bump map, a displacement map, a normal map, and a specular map, all at ~1024x1024 only lightly compressed, thats a lot of space you need, especially when theres a lot of objects on-screen.

The average game level, textures, models, and all can be as big as 4gb all on its own, and with todays ever-growing map sizes, Id venture to guess within the next year we will see games that will benefit greatly from vast amounts of ram.

R3, how about some corsairs?

[Kayin]

300 for a board? WTF. I'm content with a fucking 129 dollar board.

Can anyone tell me wht the fuck we're paying for?

[RedRaider]

300 for a board? WTF. I'm content with a fucking 129 dollar board.

Same price as eVGA x58, still cheaper than some of that ASUS crap...:cum:

[Kayin]

Granted it's more under control than UASS. Still, WTF am I paying that damn much for?

[Ricey]

I don't like this mobo. Except that I can install four Nvidia video cards in this, but I would have to use DD or FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU video blocks.

[coolmiester]

You want it just for the color, admit it ? :jumpingfire:

What, there is another reason :D

[RedRaider]

The more I look at this MB and the more reviews I read, makes me want it more and more...:slobber:

[RedRaider]

I hope VINCENT makes a set of blocks for this sexy ass MB...:slobber:

[Ricey]

This is my idea of a much more sexy mobo. I think the Blood Rage looks like ass.

go get a few then... 1 for use, 1 for reserve, 1 for wall hanging...

[Cutless009]

One to..... "PULL!!!!!!!" :fight3:

[Baleful]

I love the looks of this board, but I'll be getting the board that has the best performance, and watercooling parts.

[RedRaider]

Take that ASUS (:turd:) somewhere else Ricey...:bat:
