Look what I bought "New"

[techjesse]

I just bought a New Foxconn Bloodrage X58 LGA 1366 Motherboard   I installed an i7 930 and she booted up. I'm a happy camper!

I'll have to update the BIOS for an i7 970 and Ln2 Benching.......

 

[Mr.Scott]

Nice. Tough to find, let alone brand new.

[Splave]

Even has the nb pot haha nice! 

[GeorgeStorm]

Good colour matching

[techjesse]

Thanks Guys   I have a 300GB SAS HHD 15K RPM that I'm going to load WinXP, this MoBO has SAS ports YEAH!

[techjesse]

I Flashed the BIOS (tricky, made me uneasy) for Gulftown CPU's installed my 5.5GHZ i7 970.....she's up and running  

This board is sweet, easy overclocking

I couldn't stop laughing

havent got 1 but a very under rated board from what ive read, the blood series boards are the best in their boards

[techjesse]

Thanks I was surprised when the guy said it's new and never been used.....I bought it!  I installed the rig in a Cooler Master Trooper case, want to break it in before Ln2

well i dont know much about it , but i do know from what ive seen and read that anything from the bloodrange of boards are good, im sure that theres others here that have them can tell you way better than i that have actually experienced the board

[TASOS]

Probably the best of the bloorage series.

Convenient cause it has both holes on pcb (775/1366).

Tough board to bench with ... it has rev12 chipset ... and the known 220 fsb wall.

It was a strange board , back in the days ... Too picky with ram modules.

With latest bios it can also play with Xeon Westmere-EP both X-series and E-series.

 

[techjesse]

That's true TASOS... however wasn't it the Bloodrage that broke the 220 fsb wall...

I'll have to find the BIOS they were using....lol

Well, I pulled the GTX 285's and installed the GTX 670''s  Ran a few tests to compare.....

There's are the same GTX 670's I ran with Ln2

 And I have more GPU's to play with...old games   lol

 

[techjesse]

Here's the GTX 670's SLI running on the Bloodrage

True

But only hardware modded ... and with a lot of pci-e

Good luck with your project ... have fun

[George_o/c]

Damn what a nice find!  Tough board though...

I recall that the best X58 boards were the R3E and R3E BE. No fsb wall, easy to bench, both boards were flying on LN2! 

As Tasos said, the Bloorage needs to be hardware modded and you also have to use an IDE HDD with really high pcie in order to achieve these FSB numbers. 

[techjesse]

Thanks Goc..... I saw the Pci-e hard mod on youtube....

I also have a Asus Rampage II Gene and a Asus Rampage III Gene, I like the ROG II for Ln2, had to put a fan on NB

I'll run the Bloodrage on Ln2 later, thanks for all the tips Guys

Happy Easter
