Foxconn BlackOPS (Retail version)

**Telo** · 06-09-2008, 09:24 AM

I actually gave into curioisty and order a set of CellShock 1866Mhz sticks. Once it comes in [1-2 day delivery] I will try them on this board, if I see the slightest glitch or hardship this POS is going back for good. I might even get a P5E3 Premium cross shipped with this one to try them both out.

I started with a P5E3 Premium. It ran without no issues and it booted up fine with OCZ DDR3-1800 Ram. But, it couldn't run my X3350 at 485 x 8, like my Rampage Formula DDR2 board. The P5E3's voltage ranges are quite smaller and go to a lesser upper extreme than the Rampage BIOS.

That is why I was hoping the highly anticipated, God amongst Men Mobo, the great Foxconn Blackops could do what the Rampage could do, but with DDR3 Ram.

Maybe it can, but my experience was horrendous at just trying to get the board to run at more than 60% of the BIOS settings FSB for both CPU and DRAM.

My next attempt will be Asus' P5Q3 Deluxe (P45 chipset) coming out within the next week.

Well, I have a semi-filed RMA for this board. If the CellShocks do not work right with this board I will just ship it back and get a different board. I have seen the P5Q Deluxe in stock at Newegg and Zipzoomfly so far; I'm really hoping for the P5Q3 Deluxe to come out soon so that I have another option since the last two have let me down so far.

Guys, I have a question for you all.

When I take my ram beyond 2000mhz I get a few bsods "memory management" "IRQL not Equal" among other errors.

Just the other day I was messing with my timings to make my settings stable, and I set my Performance Level to "Auto". When I checked Memset it listed PL 7 for my first stick and PL 8 for my second stick. Does anyone know whats going on?

Thanks! That would be next. First up, 2x2GB

Thanks! I got something prepared regarding 2x2GB on this board with E8400 for now

Today I flashed the new P04 BIOS, and gave it a spin with our recently laumched 2 x 2GB Dominator kit, TW3X4G2000C9DF. Due to P04 BIOS still locking us out of 2T, I was stuck with Command Rate 1T, but it still worked fine at the memory speed needed for now. The kit I'm using is built with the same ICs than its older brother, TW3X4G1800C8DF, in case the curious types ask the question.

I hope the settings I show below will be found useful to some users here.

Black Ops, C2D E8400 @ 450FSB / DDR3-1800 CL8 @ 1.80v - P04 BIOS setup
This is TW3X4G2000C9DF which we launched at Computex 2008 - 2 x 2GB DDR3-2000 9-9-9-24

@ Bachus...

How can we get our hands on the P04 BIOS? It says it was coded on 6/6/08 but it still unavailable at the Quantum Force site.

Well, I got it today, and I assume it will be soon posted on Quantum Force website. I'm not sure if I can share it, although I wasn't explicitly told not to, but I'll find out.

**FuriousSalesman** · 06-09-2008, 03:36 PM

I would like to know too. I logged in at the quantum-force website and I don't see anything new.

**ZillaPct** · 06-09-2008, 03:50 PM

my triple A.A.A chipset Air + Cpu Air + Vga Air

on bios P04

570 on Air

560 Pi on Air

3D01 on Air

foxconn power.....

**Lu(ky** · 06-09-2008, 05:40 PM

Nice ZillaPct what memory are you using? And I can not wait for the 4870X2 power with this board...

**LardArse** · 06-09-2008, 06:08 PM

New bios, with Clock Skew (+300 works good for Wolfdale overclocking)

http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.ph...1_7A3F1P04.ZIP

Working on 2T + CPU Multiplier + some other tweaks....

**T_M** · 06-09-2008, 06:57 PM

My latest effort on BlackOps

5750MHz QX9770 32M = 8m 29s

**FuriousSalesman** · 06-09-2008, 07:03 PM

What is clock skew?

**LardArse** · 06-09-2008, 10:06 PM

G25 BIOS:

2T works , now fixing multiplier under Vista

**T_M** · 06-09-2008, 10:09 PM

Awesomeness in a BIOS, keep it coming!

Peter, I dont have a good set of DDR3 right now but gonna try both the BIOS today. Hope some stability @ 57XX with this value ram :P:

p is offical g is for beta

**G H Z** · 06-09-2008, 11:15 PM

**Alec** · 06-10-2008, 01:14 AM

Looks awesome

I am looking forward to seeing it be sold online

The BLUE ones.....

**M3kk** · 06-10-2008, 04:43 AM

Look what i got today with P04

.

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=373466

I had 585, but corrupted

.

Everest at 550 FSB.

And some max PI 1M`s at 560 and 566 FSB

.

With new bioses and with every time, when i use the board i start to love it

.
The HW is SUPER, just the bioses are wrong, but with time they will come out, i`m sure

.

I cant use 1:4 266 333 or 400 even with 500 FSB

.
So i cant test 500 FSB with rams at 2000, but i will try more settings.

Congrats Foxconn

.

**StellaNor** · 06-10-2008, 04:54 AM

@ M3kk - do you mind to share your BIOS-Settings?

Just been trying G25 - it does not even boot under default settings (no oc) into Windows (keeps telling a file is corrupted). But will give P04 a try now. It still looks like FSB vs. RAM-Clock is dependent and visa vers. Still clueless for the moment, but sure I will love it one day
