Foxconn X48 Black Ops, 500fsb/DDR3-2000+ CL7, Nice Performance

sorry been too busy for months.
but... finally achieved these.

Congratz to Foxconn, thx to Shamino to bring us such a nice mobo :D

Platform:
Intel QX9650/E8400
Cellshocks DDR3-1800 Blue Kits
Koolance Watercooling
Leadtek 8800GT Mod

Pros:
vdroop= 0 :D
volt range= toooo much wide :up:
overclking options= enough :clap:

Cons:
bios not 100% finished yet.
fsb overclking need to be improved.


some overclking results:
vFsb=1.425v
vNB=1.5~1.67v

QX9650 @ 448*10 3Dmark06 (GTL1/2/3/4=+7) (3D Perf not that good, might be OS/Driver Prob)

really nice perf. break 10min with only 4.5Ghz :D
E8400 @ 500*9, DDR3-2000 7-6-6-15 with optimized timings

and more: perf_lvl=7, 510fsb/ddr3-2040

perf_lvl=8, 515fsb/ddr3-2060 :)

at last, pull up clk to ddr3-2080 7-6-6-18. vdimm=2.25v, dimm_cmd_dll= +2

and...... had a funny run today, have u ever see such a pi_32m result ? :D

Nice :up:

I was looking to get Asus Rampage Extreme, but with this coming from Foxcon and the new DFI, looks like their is going to be some nice looking other boards to consider.

I also have the Cellshocks sitting just waiting. When do you think they will release this board. I have been waiting for ages for them to?

Sweet work bro...

Impressive board and the performance is not bad at all...

The board is just crazy strong...

Looking forward to further updates.

Keep pushing it.

:woot: shamino is gonna love this :lol:
what was your max on your previous board?
is it me or is the kit clocking better with every new board you put it in? :D
so it sounds like the MCH's are steadily improving and intel can get them to clock higher and higher.

lol, same clk on Asus Max Extreme.
but...i can do 2080 766 32m on Asus Blitz Extreme.

hehe the cellis working good with the board - pretty nice to see :)

nice to see what my next board looks and performs like. Thanks for the sneak peek :)

is this closer to the retail version then the one they showed with the water block and the dryice tube? This board looks really promising.. just i don't have a need for the dry ice tube, the waterblock would be nice though.

also.. does anyone know a site in canada that has cellshock.. or that ships to canada?

Nice board, but you forgot pics of it!

Booooooooooooooooo!!!!!

I want to see pictures of the board :p

@.@ i've already linked a pic here.

great board man!!! will it come in ddr2 version in the near future?

I love ya Vict :D
so is that pi32m really strong at the clocks, i dunno im not a pi guy
i gotta try more ram clockin now, catch up with ya :)

nice 11min flat which is on par with Asus DDR3 boards at 8x500FSB seeing as DDR3 easily is 15-20 seconds faster clock for clock than DDR2 for Super Pi 32M.

to compare on Asus Blitz Formula & DFI LT X38-T2R

Oh I see it now, when I first viewed the thread and reloaded the page I didnt see it!

But its not got much cooling on it compared to asus and msi. Is it going to be cheaper?

that pic. is not the production board bhavv ..... production board has 4 in 1 cooling eye believe

Thats a damn good lookin board. The layout is almost perfect.

:D that's really really fast bro.
if i'm benching with my "pi only" OS, should be about 2sec faster :D

bandwidth also very nice at 500fsb.:up:

yes, the performance is on par or even better than Asus ddr3 mobo.
'coz it can set unbelievable ram timings in bios.
e.g. with asus mobo, i can set 6-5-5-18 with tRP/RRD/RTP=3.
but with 7-6-6-18, tRP/RRD/RTP have to set = 4.

with foxconn x48.... 7-6-6-18 3-3-3 no prob at all, although performance the same :D

Interesting - extra tweaking done in X48 chipset I guess :)

How's max FSB for E8xxx 45nm and QX9650 compared to other boards you tested ?

ah finally someone that benches superpi properly :D

nice results indeed Vic :up:

shame about FSB
that is a very very very important issue they need to work on for dual cores .... they still own in anything other than '06 :D and with a 10x multi coming very soon there's gonna be some serious fun with these

try playing a bit with GTL ref clocks

reduce them while going high in FSB and see if you can get some better clock (assuming you haven't already)

Great work Victor :D

Showing off potentioal of the board on air :D

lol, the board can't go higer fsb by defualt, 'coz tWR/tWTR is toooooo tight if u let them "auto".
i haven't tried max fsb on the mobo yet, but...for QX9650...tbh, fsb is not that good compared with Asus X38 mobo.

for GTL ref, i've tried a lot combinations, for my chip, i have to set +7/+7/+7/+7 to achieve 448fsb :D

looks good, but again with noisy schmutzig cooler ...

any idea's when this board is going to be released?

Hm Victor, can you share the settings for 500 FSB? :)
I cant reach 450 with E8400 :(.

Really nice efficiency! :up:
If you mean to squeeze it out,do you think sub10m/5 Ghz is possible? Jody is very close to that on 790i. :cool:

got to say this is a pretty tricky board at first, but after you start to understand it. it rocks.. its really stable to bench !!!

this is the best fsb that i have been able to pull off with this board.. not bad but i know i can do better( i hope i can) :D ive been able to get my E8500 to 593 fsb so im limited here by my blackOps.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...erpi08625s.jpg

i thought some of you guys might like to know the settings that i used..so here are some bios screenies.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSCN1136.jpg

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSCN1129.jpg

my benching setup :D

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...s/DSCN1137.jpg

LOL and what sort of voltages do you guys give to your rams... im totally noob with ddr3 !!! i had my stick running at 2.1(something)v

500 fsb, i look forward to breaking that mark, hopefully....

Hm, nice Solarfall.
Any special setting at ram section?
Or just the basic latencies and the rest Auto?

yep pretty much.. actually i need to try the other straps too and see how well they work (if they work lol )..

Ok, but can you share please your exact settings? :)
I mean, strap selection, dram settings, etc.
I want to reach 500 FSB, and after that more. :)

Hey, if i set 1:4 with 500 fsb, then i got 666 for rams :/.
Can you share guys an older bios? That 2/20 or 2/21 .

Just ordered one of these. Hope it is a good board.

hahah brace yourself !!!!!!! this board aint easy, but once you understand it... it rocks dude :D:D

What is the max FSB you can hit with 1.2 or lower VTT...running 1.65V 24/7 is a nono, in fact im surprised your CPU is still alive :shocked:

I just finished putting the PC together, and it only boots running at 333FSB with a 6 multiplier. What is this? I manually tried to change it to just 333FSB with my RAM specific timings and voltages, and the multiplier set to 8x and it just keeps shutting itself off. I'm not even trying to overclock it and it just does not boot beyond 333FSB with a 6 multiplier. Help please.

Can you tell me what bios you are using?

Stock BIOS, I believe it is the P02, dated 5/9/08. It's the latest public BIOS. I didn't want to mess with the Beta ones until I was up and running at least 400FSB.

absolutely awesome! keep up the good work
