Foxconn Makes Flaming Blade X58 Series Official

btarunr · Mar 6, 2009

Pictured last month as merely a low-end variant of the Blood Rage X58 series (read here), Foxconn Flaming Blade X58 has emerged as a product series in itself, with two sub-variants: Flaming Blade X58 and Flaming Blade X58 GTI. The former being the base-model, while the latter is a scaled-down, even cheaper one.

Both motherboards feature an identical feature set for the most part: Three DDR3-1800 DIMM slots, two PCI-E x16 slots, near-identical board layouts, etc. The differences start with the GTI variant featuring simpler component cooling, with individual heatsinks over the chipset and VRM areas. The base-model has a heat-pipe based cooler. Another set of differences are present with the boards' back-panel and the connectors on offer: the GTI variant lacks two eSATA connectors and an Ethernet controller (although the picture suggests otherwise). Both models will cater to the $200 market price-point.

No AMD lineup?... I'm wondering if they really think i7 is that profitable to invest in it. I mean sure, there are reviews and it's the best but seriously... how much money do they get out of it?

i think they could of came up with a better name, Examples that still pertain to this element, aka Fire Blade or Fire Storm.

It should be Frozen Blades or Blizzard Storms, hot stuffs don't suit overclocking...

the GTI throws me off. Usually adding letters at the end indicates the higher end model. ex: pro, xt, gtx, etc.

not that great of a deal, this board supports 12GB i believe, more than enough for most people. What concerns me about this is that some boards dont like all slots populated and running triple channel will do just that. I havent heard of this issue on the original Bloodrage so may be it was designed to work this way, who knows?

Having 6 slots hampers OCing ability for having support for more dimms at once. Hince why the Bloodrage was so good at OCing and why they still keep 3 slots.

i love the look of that board. i think it should be nominated for the best looking board ever. I think it will go very nice with that new Enermax Revolution PSU. Damn, i wish i was going i7, i would've grabbed it myself, it will probably be EOL by the time i do, lol

I haven't tried that...I'm looking forward to that...lol
