set up my "AB" the other day with a 6400.
the best i could do is 370 FSB with the Vcore hanging right around 1.30-1.31 as reported by "Fox One".
i ran SP 2004 for 2 plus hours and it hung in there while doing other tasking, at times, in the background.
Just use this
I copied this from another post in the intel section of this forum but its the salvation we have all been looking for. If you have the balls

can you say 1.55 vcore anyone

Of course 1/2 hr later the voltage regulator module on the foxcon motherboard burnt up but for that 1/2hr i had that foxconn running like a Real motherboard. Im sure its the voltage regulator module on the motherboard that fried as i tried a intel d 805 and got the same no post result. what i cant know for sure is if when the regulator module fried if it took out my new $1100.00 x6800 processor because i dont have anohter motherboard to test it in until monday :) But i promise that the vcore mod does work and you can have that foxconn putting out 1.45 to 1.61v in less than 15mins worth of work... Now how long your board will last and if your processor will survive the small fire i can not answer yet :)
Still i would rather have a foxconn ab run like a real motherboard for 1/2 hr and then die than have it run stock for 100 years... thats how much i hate the performance of that board :)

i was getting warm boot issues with the FSB at 370..now at 350 none at all since removing the the drive from the intel sata controller...i bought an Areca PCIe Raid card....it is awesome!...right now, i am stepping the FSB at 10 mhz per boot into windows.
this is how the Areca card performs on the "AB" board...
PCIe bus@130 Mhz
CPU@350FSB
two Seagate 7200.10 drives in a 32K Stripe
the big thing i did this 2nd time around (FSB wise and the warm boot issue) was just up the Vdimm to 2.1 (Corsair 6400C4) and leave all other voltage settings in "Auto".
370 FSB is my wall..any higher...i get a "no" post..otherwise it warm boots up to 370...couldn't do that before with 370 set.
it's obvious that the pin mod killed the digital pwm but i wouldn't say the digital pwm is sh1t, not like the pin mod was intended for boards with the digi pwm right? dfi switched to it so i'm pretty sure it performs better than solid caps. i just think the foxconn board wasn't meant to be modded :)
That Average read speed is looking good Ace :clap:Quote:

Ace A Rue is that raid card a 2 drive raid 0 or 3 drive raid 5? cause those are some nice numbers.

it is the Areca ARC-1210 card...4-SATA II ports....it is pricey but well worth it.
here is the link for the card (newegg stocks it): http://www.areca.us/products/html/pcie-sata.htm
Got mine up and running, everything seems great at stock.
Do you think the Fox One reports the correct temp? I tried speedfan and it crashed...
I'm getting 28*C Idle & 37*C Load
