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

[gmcg]

Nobody here works for Foxconn dude!
Be happy he bothered helping you out with a guide ?
Give us some REAL comparison here ? So you cant run 460 fsb with a Quard on the Blackops
Set your bios better dude It is EASY.

I did, I am running it at 4.2 GHz pretty stable. It is definitely easy though I have expected lower voltages to reach such results. I know people can run 482MHz FSb on this board, but with what voltages? I used SAFE voltages to run 460 MHz FSB on 790i, here is the difference.

Why is air and water cooling a Joke ? I dont get that ? Ever heard of anti corrosion ?
Why did you buy the board then ?

I bought it as a replacement for 790i, I never heard that advertised copper cover would be replaced with aluminum one. In this case I wouldn't buy it probably, and I can't return it such as it was sold through newegg only, and newegg has 30 day non-refund policy.
It is a joke caz I can't use nor water cooling nor aircooling on it without modification. Air cooling is way ineffective and noisy.
Anticorrosion - why should I use such stuff if on my box it is stated that I've got 4in1 all copper cooler?

If that is the biggest problem, Maybe you should by an Asus board

I don't buy anything from Asus, period. Actually, there are not so many choices left, you are right. I would love to have a stable 790i but can't spend time on several boards to find a stable one.

ALL new boards have issues in the biginning!
Be happy with your new board, And show us some results ?

Which results? I have a stable running Foxconn BlackOps board now at 4.2 GHz with good safe voltages and mediocre speed results, do you think it makes sense to publish those? I am still working on the board, may be will get something good enough to publish later ...
I had quite similar results (as todays) with 780i and DDR2 (was happy enough, such as ALL volatages were in the SAFE area) ... nothing to be proud of spending in addition +$1k on memory and board ... those old results can be found here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=129
You can download the reports ... they are attached.
Here is my 4.4GHz result on 780i with 1.456V Vcore on it ONLY http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&d=1207362016 , it is exactly the same CPU and watercooling system, and now I need to use such Vcore for 4.2Ghz on Foxconn BlackOps which supposed to be an UPGRADE? I see people around using the same or higher Vcore for 4.2GHz , therefore it is kinda doubtful that it is only my incompetence to set the BIOS correctly to reach lower voltages ... for example can you show me such results as 4.4GHz with 1.456 Vcore for QX9650 on BlackOps?

You know the story about pessimist and optimist? Is our glass half-full or half-empty?

What is your VPPL and Vfsb ?
These migth be to blame.
ALSO member you cannot trust any volts read in bios, On the blackops the volt is VERY stable. And the CPU power capabilities are truly golden on blackops. Even at 5 Ghz Quardcore it is stable and dosent fluctuate.

AND Im not sure how one can compare I790 to X48 regarding voltages. I really dont know.

Everybody in Denmark ditched the board after problems with past 900 Mhz om mem

Wow i heard back from my special request for support from Foxconn.

Some of our motherboard modules include features, which facilitate or otherwise assist customer with extending the performance of their system beyond the specification of the cpu, chipset, or other components.



Some memory manufactures sell high performance rating memory; please contact them for assist with their “rating setting”.



Example: Industry standard DDR memory uses 2.5V, DDR2 uses 1.8V and DDR3 uses 1.5V. There is no standard for memory timing, but the lower the number the more aggressive it is.



Foxconn Technical Support (CISG1) provides assist to customer in resolving problems with “default” setting.

Results of overclocking can cause system crashes, data corruption, peripheral life span is shortened. This is for advanced computer uses that know and understand the risk involved, proceeds at your own risk. Foxconn does not recommend nor indorse in taking such action- not support by Foxconn CISG1.

EPIC FAIL IMO.

So they have not even acknolwedged that not being able to set 2T at all is a problem.
