Foxconn BloodRage S3 Sleep @ 220MHz BCLK Video

Here's the Foxconn BloodRage with a Intel Core i7 920 @ 4GHz ( 220MHz BCLK ) going into S3 ( Sleep Mode ) and waking up.

System specs:
Foxconn BloodRage ( X58 Express Chipset, P06 BIOS )
Intel Core i7 920 ( C1 Rev. ) @ 4GHz

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

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 ).

Cool you rule with the board

[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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

can you try to oc the memory to 2500mhz
