Foxconn Blood Rage

Zitat

The Blood Rage is quite the good looker. Aesthetics aside though, Foxconn has gone down a slightly different path with the Blood Rage.

The Blood Rage has only three DDR3 DIMM slots rather than the six one would expect. Intel's own DX58S0 is the only other enthusiast X58 motherboard we have seen so far with only three slots, but then that resides in a markedly lower price range. According to Foxconn, this is supposed to help memory overclocking.

There is an interesting little button on the motherboard Foxconn claims will help overclocking by 'tuning' the motherboard for the desired settings. Pressing it shuts down the motherboard for a few seconds, after which the motherboard turns back on. The X58 chipset does normally 'self-optimise' upon each startup based on the selected clockspeeds - perhaps this is related? We'll be doing some tests to see what difference using this little thingumabob makes, if it does make any difference at all.
