Here comes BLITZ FORMULA A mobo that is full of bling bling( u can find lots of LED on this mobo and the LED is very bright---disturbed my sleep.



The IO Panel. There is Clear CMOS Button at the IO Panel. So u can easily Clear yr CMOS without opening yr side panel(Casing). A plus for me so that I do not need to clear the jumper for CMOS on the mobo. But, Asus has a good 'recovery' after faile din OC so, I did not touch the CMOS jumper at all for the whole process of testing and oc.



Command Rate for Memory: 1T or 2T at yr disposal. Of course, it depends on yr memory if it can take the command rate.



Max vcore for CPU is 1.90vcore. For extreme overclocker. This is not enough. But for me, it is more than enough.


Loadline Calibrtion. Is this like CPU voltage Dumper???Anyway, I will always leave it as ENABLE for OC. Still need to investigate further what is this option does.


Max vdimm for memory is 3.40vdimm.This is good for my DDR2 BH5-OCZ Reaper HRC PC9200.



DDR2 Ref Voltage. hm....not idea what this options does. Need to investigate further. But initial testing showed that this does not effect the oc of the memory. I will leave it as AUTO.



South Bridge Voltage: Max is 1.225volt. I wil leave as AUTO for OC.



PLL Voltage. Max is 2.0volt. Save u the hussle to hardmod it. This option has great impact on yr CPU FSB. In order to break teh so-called FSB wall, u need more voltgae from this PLL.

u may reserve some post... nice board... pls keep the info coming... tq

Memory Overclocking

Memory: OCZ Reaper Series. HPC Edition. PC 9200 1gb x 2 kit

600mhz @ 4-4-4-12@2.78vdimm with Pi 32mil, sandra and 3D Mark 03. My OCZ really loves high vdimm PC Probe II tends to report more volt. Maybe the reading is a bit off or the reading is accurate. Anyway this does not concern me.



610mhz@4-4-4-12@2.82vdimm with pi 8 million and sandra.


640mhz@5-5-5-15@2.60vdimm with Pi4 million and sandra


656mhz@5-6-5-15@2.64vdimm with pi 4miilion and sandra


670mhz@5-6-5-15@2.66vdimm with pi 4million


680mhz@5-6-6-15@2.78vdimm with Pi 1 million


691mhz@5-6-6-18@2.86vdimm...9mhz more to 700! more juice more juice!!

Things to take note about the low temp on G0 stepping

My E6550 reach around 63 degree c at full load at 3.5ghz @ 1.45vcore on Asus Blitz Formula as compared to Asus P5K-E and Asus P5KC....

Wonder the sensor screwed on the mobo or something else. But what I can tell you is that the heatsink is HOT when I touched it so it is tally with the reading at about 63 degree during full load on Asus Probe II. On core temp and TAT. Full load only 50 degree clecius.

So, the mobo itself in effecting the load temp??

If u have this mobo pls confirm the reading of the load temp of yr G0 stepping CPU.

the ram vdimm make me sweat..

u will never regrret buying the reapers unless ur using ddr3 ofcos

wat is tat heatsink covered chip between the PCIe slots...?

Nice review and result.

@t3chn0m4nc3r
That is the Crosslink chip that will make your mobo to run at 8x 8x during SLI rather than 16x 4x. One of the stuff that make the board so bloody expensive.

Anyway this board is on sale in sg in few days time

ur close-up photo really make me dizzy...
anyway, great 3D mark u have there....

may u try to reserved a few of post once u started the thread, about adding pictures max picture per post is around 10 if not mistaken.....try to ask the mod here......

u can try to post after awhile later on.....

nice mother board, btw how much does the retail goes ? Malaysia have not seen it on the market yet

unker long,i want to see SLI in action

board cant SLi until someone cracks it

Retail pricing is nearly RM1300.00

Then crossfire it, HD2900XT 1GB.

Blitz formula not tat high and for extreme it is sumthg like 1259 ...
wanna grab 1 board ?

then Blitz formula how much?

I saw it in PCzone's price list Asus Bitz Formula (Special Edn)it was rm1099 as of 27-07-2007.
I went there to buy on saturday as usual NO STOCK and they don't even know when is it coming..Asked alot of shops in LYN but all same answer "dunno,no stock" so just gotta wait abit before it actually gets to the retail shops.

Since its price is very expensive they usually dont keep stock.

Haha finally got it from singapore

Is there cheaper than in Malaysia? How much $sing?

dizzy with Singapore price cause sum time cheaper than msia however sum time expensive

better wait for DFi P35 board

Well i guess the DFi P35 board will be worth waiting for i guess

DFi P35
da kuar blum eh...
huhu

I think better spend sub RM1k mobo to X38 later...

haha and another 1k on the rams?

wau..so cool...

Asus Blitz Formula vs DFI LANPARTY UT P35-T2R...which one better...
