Foxconn Quantum Force Black Ops X48 OC Guide (56k Warning)

[gmcg]

IMO Foxconn BlackOps is over-stabilized to get the best results for OC at sub-zero temps. It is designed for benching, not for normal operations (as we know, air cooling of NB or water cooling with copper-aluminum design is a joke).

I could run qx9650 with 1.392V rock-stable on 780i at 4.2GHz, and for the same stability I have to apply 1.45V WITH Vdroop compensation enabled! on BlackOps for the same CPU and the same 4.2GHz.
I had been able to run 460MHz FSB with the same QX9650 on 790i (unfortunately, te motherboard was not prime-stable), on BlackOps I can run 420 FSB stable with safe voltages, not crazy ones, posted by Cpt. Planet in his overclocking guide.

Our recommendation is never to exceed the manufacturer's maximum specified voltage. With that said, values in excess of ~2.2V with DDR3 are a death sentence.

The following are the timings I am running on my ram at 1800MHz 2.2v [-as we can see in BIOS picture, it is 2.21V actually] and a few have run up to almost 2000MHz with similar settings.

1.81V CPU Vcore (according to a BIOS picture) for 4.278 GHz on CPU 24/7? That is insane!

If you guys want to sell Foxconn products, you need to make your forum active with professional responses and provide some REAL OC guides, not something like this ...
