Foxconn BlackOPS (Retail version)

[SF3D]

This P04 bios did wonders to this motheroard. QX overclocking was easy before and now wolfdale oc is too. 560fsb was no problem. You don't have to touch GTL values at that fsb, so everybody should be able to do the same.

My both G.Skill memory sets are working just fine. (2GB HZ is D9GTR and 4GB HZ is D9JNM). Cellshock/Corsair memories are working well too, like we have seen earlier.

I will start to test some other mobos now, so you guys have to keep this thread updated

Have you tested this new BIOS using 4x 1GB CellShock 1866Mhz by any chance? I ask because I would like to run 4GB not just 2GB.

Big things come in big boxes... or something like that, about describes my reaction when seeing just how big the box is Foxconn decided to use.


but just what did I buy from Foxconn? well, you'll never guess what they sent me...



I'm just glad Foxconn decided to ship something else with it





sorry, just coudnt resist...

anyway, busy playing with

now

I'll make sure to post what I think of it soon

My first LN2 attempt with this awesome board, only tested for 3 hours before to put it under LN2:

Wprime 32M @ 5702Mhz=7.344


Pifast @ 5746Mhz=16.58


SPI 1M @ 5869Mhz=7.875 (4 cores)


3d'01 @ 5605Mhz=108'050


Aquamark 3 @ 5713Mhz=320'430


3d'06 @ 5702Mhz=28'429


3d'05 @ 5735Mhz=36'588

I second that 100 percent now. After issues with P04 first I pushed the board to 590 MHz finally w/o touching reference voltages.
Boot into Windows with 580.

CPU-Z

So P04 is a big step forward. Keep pushing guys

Dividers from 1:1 up to 1.2655 working nice now. Starting with 1:3 and up it still stick with error-code 54 or C5. Command Rate 2
seems not to work (at least for me). Will keep on testing tomorrow some other RAM.

fast....fast.....very fast

I am seeing many people use PO4 bios. Does anyone know how it compares to the G25 bios?

[raptor1]

after purchasing some cellshock pc3-1866 2 x 1gb blue modules and updating the bios to p04 and setting the settings from anandtechs preview article in the bios and also the clock skew settings to +300, i can now complete post and boot in to windows at 8.5 x 500 but am not stable

i get an intermittent bsod of error stop 0x0000007 and super-pi crashes

i have ran memtest+ 2.01 and it passes all 8 tests once but on the second pass it fails on test 4

also in the bios i have set 8 as the cpu multipler but during the post and in
everest and cpu-z it shows up as 8.5

has anyone any ideas where i go from here

i will post bios settings tomorrow as it is quite late and i have work tomorrow

thanks

The CellShocks arrived, so I proceeded to installing them in place of the OCZ3P18002GK kit that I was using. Just did a quick 400FSB, all auto but the 7-7-7-20-1T timings and 1.8xv [to test the issue where it would lock up if you provided more than the default value], and like a rocket this thing got all the way into Windows. I did a quick 4M SuperPI to test and it did it without a hitch. I'm still trying to find the sweet spot on this thing, but I'm afraid my Q9450 is not welcomed on this board, it used to do 450+FSB on the P5E3 Premium before and now it can't even get to 450FSB. I might do an even trade with a co-worker for his brand new E8500.

PS: Anyone know if this board undervolts regular Quads? Even with the droop compensation enabled, and the vCore set to 1.3625v, CPU-Z shows the current voltage at 0.91xx.

Dont use cpuz as a gauge, use Aegis panel, or measure with a multimeter.

When running a high 450+ FSB on a Q9450 you usually need to skew the Dram Timings. I'd go +100 + 200.

Others Go +150 +250.
