Foxconn BloodRage S3 Sleep @ 220MHz BCLK Video

Cool you rule with the board

[BenchZowner]

The best Elpida MNH-E based kit out there is the Corsair Dominator GT DDR3-2000 7-8-7-20, but you need to spare... 512$ and the only place that sells those is Corsair's own online shop.

Alternative options:

A-Data XPG Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR3-2133

G.Skill Perfect Storm DDR3-2000 7-8-7

Now my recommendation... or disapproval...

You don't need to buy a high end memory kit unless you're interested in extreme overclocking&benchmarking.

Because otherwise there's nothing to gain in real-life tasks

[Richthegamer99]

i was buying the corsair dominator gt and the ice t30 for them so i am still stikeing to corsair i just was not shure is the corsair dominator gt CAS 8-7-8 is better for ocerclocking becuase you would need higher CAS to get Higher OC

i think i know why sometimes the memory goes out i guess the chips are very sensitive to voltage

[BenchZowner]

Both the 7-8-7 and 8-7-8 kits use the Elpida MNH-E chips.

The only difference is in the binning process ( let's just say that it's a test process to "classify" the DIMMs ), Corsair is binning the 7-8-7 kit for 7-8-7 timings, and in most cases ( near 100% ) they overclock better at 7-8-7 and 8-x-x timings than the lower bin kit ( 8-7-8 ).

grrrr youtube keeps "losing" some comments :(

FFS.

[Richthegamer99]

can you try to oc the memory to 2500mhz

[BenchZowner]

That's not the easiest thing to do mate.

You need:

a good CPU + mobo combo ( BCLK )

a out of this planet Elpida MNH-E Hyper memory kit ( think about handpicking one kit that can hit DDR3-2500 out of 1500+ kits )

and luck ( because not every IMC [ Integrated Memory Controller ] can attain such high frequencies stable or at all ).

And those MNH-E kits die all out of sudden for no reason ( at least, we haven't found the reason why, yet ).On the other side,I have hit DDR3-2270 stable on my BloodRage

[Richthegamer99]

cause i saw on new egg it said able to overclock 2500Mhz and up i will be getting this borad and some corsair dominator GT 2000Mhz and Corsair Cooling™ Ice T30 sub-ambient cooling subsystem for Dominator GT so i will try to get 2500MHZ

[BenchZowner]

The board is capable of hitting that frequency, but you need to have a CPU (IMC) & RAM capable of doing that also.

And believe me, you gotta be very lucky to find a memory kit able to hit DDR3-2500.One way or another, it doesn't really matter actually.

The RAM's performance is reflected only in a few server roles, not in 24/7 computing ( e.g. gaming, office applications, photoshop, autocad, etc ).

[Richthegamer99]

so if i was overclocking to 2500MHZ would stock 2000Mhz cas8-7-8 or stock 2000Mhz cas 8-8-8 witch memory would oc better

[BenchZowner]

Doesn't really matter.

It depends on which chips your memory kit is using.

To hit high memory frequencies you need to get a kit with the Elpida MNH-E Hyper ICs.

The average overclock with those is approx DDR3-2100 7-8-7-20.

Depending on your luck of draw,you might hit DDR3-2200 7-8-7 or even higher (do you feel lucky?).

But in life for every "incredible thing" there's always a minor or major drawback..and sadly, this one's a major,those chips seem to die all out of sudden for no apparent reason.

[Richthegamer99]

does the board have vdroop control or load-line calibration (they are the samething samething)

[BenchZowner]

Of course it does.

[Richthegamer99]

thx for the info

[joachimk93]

would u recommend the board?

[BenchZowner]

It depends on what you're looking for.

All the boards are fine for 24/7 on air/water-cooling & phase change, the performance and overclocking capabilities are the same, the only thing that sets the boards apart is the BIOS ( all of them have some bugs and some missing options, it just comes down to which one has less bugs & less annoying bugs or missing options ).

If you want a normal board for your everyday computing, you can get a cheap Flaming Blade GTI or an Asus P6T v2 and a i7 920.

[BenchZowner]

For extreme overclocking you should pick one of the following:

Asus Rampage II Extreme

Foxconn BloodRage / BloodRage GTI

eVGA X58 Classified ( the non nF200 version is preferred )

[joachimk93]

im more of a gamer but also OC, what would be best for gaming and is the i7 920 ez to OC to 3,2 GHz?

[BenchZowner]

Every i7 920 can be easily overclocked to 3.2GHz.

In short, for gaming a E8200 is more than enough.

It comes down to your budget, what kind of work and applications you'll be running, etc.

If you have more questions or looking for more detailed answers or build proposals, etc visit my forums and open a thread about it, and we'll be more than glad to help you out ;-)

[joachimk93]

cuz the i7 920 and the most of the E`s has the same price and the "best" MOBOs has the same price as the 775 socket MOBOs:P

[BenchZowner]

for extreme overclocking you should pick one of the following:

Asus Rampage II Extreme

Foxconn BloodRage / BloodRage GTI

eVGA X58 Classified ( the non nF200 version is preferred )

[k1burne]

Cool video but why do you have 2 SLI bridges?

[BenchZowner]

No reason.

Usually I leave the bridges on the cards because I don't want to lose them ( the storage room is a mess ).

[k1burne]

oh that's cool i've just never seen that before lol

[BenchZowner]

[XFXnVidiaFan]

what is the name of the song ???

[BenchZowner]

"Krazy" by Pitbull ft Lil' Jon

[tombmxcrowley]

i love my bloodrage got it to 4.1ghz with speed mode enabled so it runs 4.3ghz when doing stuff.

y in description you put 220mh x20 mhz? when in bios it's 18 :/

[BenchZowner]

That was a typo, sorry.

Doesn't matter though, I was showcasing/testing if the S3 function works.

[jonsutubechannel]

you should show off your computer! looks like a car engine! haha

[CaptainSensible]

Great stuff man, love that board!

[revmaynard]

bench always brings it :)
