Foxconn Bloodrage Overclocking/Help Thread

[ritchwell]

I finally received my board today and it took me a couple of hours to install everything. Ive notice that this board is not at all buggy like the 1st one i had, i hope newegg does not sell the rma i sent as an open box to someone. Will try to overclock tomorrow and configure the bios.

I'm in the research mode atm since I will probably be getting a new board when the 920 D0's become available. This board has my attention! Some of the bios malfunction issues are concerning. Is this an isolated issue or are most people having issues with the live update?

I think its an isolated issue, when i compared the one i have now with the one i rma, from 1st boot the one i have now is lot more stable. This is pretty much my 1st build and have no knowledge of overclocking. This board is really for the moderate to high knowledge to be able to overclock this, many overclocking features. Right now im only able to get 3.0 by just raising the blck to 150, my temperature is around high 40's at load. Not sure how to clock this any further, im hoping some1 here can help me with the bios settings.

Had my first issue using "Fox Update" in Windows last night to update to the 07 BIOS. Figured out it didn't like something with CDBurner. Uninstalling CDBurner fixed the problem. Smooth sailing again.

First tests: No noticeable benefit from new BIOS..........

Patch can you post you bios setting, so i can overclock even much further. TY

Check out the 4.3 ghz 24/7 link in my sig for my everyday settings. Being on a good water cooled setup (and less concerned about chip longevity), I'm much more aggressive with voltages than most people. And I like to keep hyperthreading on. It can limit your clocks by dramatically increasing temps, but it doesn't seem to affect overclocking ability much on my rig. Only at 4.6 Ghz +.

Keep in mind that every set up is different. My RAM doesn't like running higher than ~1720 mhz, so when running the CPU at 4.5 ghz and above I have to underclock the RAM to 1200-1300's. Of course, that bugs me so I tighten up the timings a lot to make myself feel better.......

I knotice in you link that xmp is enabled, i have the corsair xmp should i set it manual or give it a profile since i have 2 profiles on the ram.

Did I miss something? Did Foxconn say they were no longer going to be making MB's?

[ritchwell]

I was finally was able to finally able to resolve my memory issue. In order to overclock in this board with my ram i had to disable the xmp and manually input the right timing. I got it to 3.8 and was testing for stability, since im new to overclocking im not sure what is causing window to reset after 15 of prime 95. Do i have to increase any voltage for more stability?

Increase the voltage by small increments to find the sweet spot. If that does not work, you might have to do some other tweaking.

I CAN'T WAIT TILL I GET MY SET UP!

Also, what are your temps like with that TRUE?
