Foxconn Blackops X48: First quick results.

[SF3D]

Hi all!

First I have to thank Shamino and Foxconn for porviding me the best possible parts to play with

I have had this board for a long time, but I didn't have D9GTR based DDR3 memory to play with. This motherboard had some problems running my previous sticks.

I tested yesterday ASUS P5E3 WS Pro with this same QX and LN2. Which board is better? Obviously Blackops! Bios is still on early stage, but it's starting to give good results.

All Pi/pifast times are totally unoptimised. I couldn't run 3DM06 3D tests because my 3870X2 wasn't in good "mood" today. Well, I have to retest everything later next week. LN2 dewar was almost empty when I started this morning. LN2 is so expensive here, that it is making these test sessions much harder. I have to be quick. 1L of LN2 = ~10€ in here. These all tests are done with maybe 6 liters of LN2. It's definitely not enough for getting familiar with this new mobo

Finally the screenies:








This is strong board. More tests will come when I fix the 3870X2 to work again. Maybe some tweaks for 2D tests wouldn't hurt either

Great start Sf3d!
I think you Have mouch fun wtih these new toys!
Any picture from the setup?

[SF3D]

Yes! Much fun indeed.

No pics this time sorry. My fiancee took my camera and she is away two weeks! (Yes!)

Now it is time to bench all night/day long.

[LardArse]

Great CPU clockin! What voltage, whats the cold bug temp?
Good stuff, hope to see your X2 come back in good mood!

At that price i'd say its cheaper to get a cascade to do prelim tests then some ln2 to seal the deal in the long run

[nachthymnen]

Yes! Much fun indeed.

I really like the new Foxconn mainboards but in Italy it's hard to find it

hehe, 24/h dayly/benchies use setup

[eva2000]

Nice looking forward to seeing some air/water results too.. LN2 that costs AUD$16/L yikes expensive stuff over there

Obviously cpuz isn't reading vcore correctly there ?

[Harshal]

Nice CPU numbers
waiting for detailed results

[SF3D]

Thanks guys!

Voltages were 1.86V- 1.9V

Peter- My cascade will be repaired in month or two. Then benching will be much easier again. Cold bug was getting lower during session. First it was -115 (pot base temp, don't know real core temperature) and after a while it was getting down to -106 (pot base temp) On ASUS P5E3 this QX could do -125c (base temp), so it was my temp probe error or something else. No cold boot problems at all.

I hope to get this cpu running 5.6-5.7GHz 3DM06. It looks possible.

Eva2000- I'll do water only benches tomorrow.

good work man. these foxconn boards are starting to be very nice. might pick one up in the near future. LN2 around here is $10 a liter here in michigan. $20 for 10 liters. $44 for 20 liters i believe. does that sound like an ok price.

Thanks!

Damn! That price would solve all my OC problems permanently. Stupid AGA (the manufacturer/ seller) They are dominating our market and they can set the price they want.

[Solarfall]

great start SF3D ... have you tested what is the max fsb roof that this board has ????
oh and damn we finns are unlucky with the high brice of LN2.. other side of the border in russia it costs 5 times less ..

[s0lid]

Nice results SF3D, i hope than my Quatum Force application will be accepted

Yea LN2 prices sux in Finland if bought from AGA , according my friend LN2 is quite cheap if bought from rautaruukki but i don't know any further info about where, to who and how.

LN2 costs in sweden around 3,5€/litre, according Computerville =D

Nice results , i will test it under cascade asap

PM me for cpuz 1.44.1 , it reads vcore on BlackOPS



I m doing some test on air with new bios before to test it under my 2 stages.





Super pi 1M @ 4.7ghz

[BulldogPO]

Way to go SF3D!!

[sobih25]

Can anyone tell me how works (if works) coldbug setting in bios of this foxconn? Should be awesome mb

[lukas69]

Great mortherboard and great score

[andre X_X]

very nice board m8.... i will surely buy it once it released

[Benny Lodewijk]

great board !!! can't wait to taste it

[Pedro Rocha]

Great results 1st SF3D

I have tested this fantastic mobo in the past days and can tell that improved a lot, in terms of performance and stability, in the last days with new bios

Now with QX9650 Air Cooled can do easy 450Mhz FSB -1800 7-6-6-18 with rock solid stability

PCIe OC works now very good and CF with 2900XT and 3870 works very welll

Here is some photos the reflects Shamino sense of humor (he have a lot of sense humor, besides been one of the most talented OC'er I have meet).

Notice the comments in violet






Memory timmings control with latest bios




Using these new toys I received yesterday (thanks a lot Saaya )




I my humble opinion, the Foxconn BlackOps X48 have all the condition to be the best motherboard ever produced for overclockers.

The enveloping of great overclockers all around the globe in the latest phase of developement will help a lot to get a outstanding product ..

I will put this on the cascade this weekend and will post 3D results in the 3Dsection ..

I'm really excited how the performance in lobbys in My Favorite Game grow with these latest Bios

Great work Shamino and the rest of Foxconn X48 developing team

[s0lid]

Nice Bios shamino

Pedro have seen any bugs in bios yet?

[ownage]

G

I like the comments. Godlike

[nachthymnen]

haha
I like this mobo
I want one

I like also your CellShock Pedro!

[ZoLKoRn]

Nice MOBO of overclock i need it one too

[TEDY]

how much will this mobo be, 300€ ?

These are Engineering Samples, they still have long way to go to hit market shelves.
