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

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

[Hyperhorn]

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

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) ive been able to get my E8500 to 593 fsb so im limited here by my blackOps.



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





my benching setup

[Solarfall]

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

[systemviper]

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

[M3kk]

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 )..

[M3kk]

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.

[M3kk]

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 .

[ceevee]

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

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

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
