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

[gmcg]

Good to hear GMGC. Good to see the rest of you guys have most of the errors taken care of. Foxconn does care about there customers no board is perfect bios wise and thats why they are always updating. I know Shamino and his team was working hard on getting these issues resolved.

Thanks

Hi! All

before i post my settings and screenshots which i am in the middle of getting ready i have a few queries that i hope some one can answer

these queries are in relation to air cooling

1. if any one is using a thermalight ultra 120 extreme cpu cooler which orientation is best north/south or east/west, the reason been is of the size of this cooler in relation to the NB

With any Air cooler and especially TUE 120 due to it's size the additional cooling of NB becomes to be kinda problematic. You probably need to figure out by yourself how to do it.

2. suggestions for cooling the nb

The same as above.

3. what criteria is there for claiming that a system is stable, how many times should a stress program be run, if it passes once is that enough, because i can get memtest+2.01 to run all 8 tests once but on the second pass it fails, the same goes for super pi

To be sure that your system is stable UNDER load you need to run either Prime 95 ver 25.6 or Everest Stress test or wprime during an hour or more and see if your temps are stabilized after raising, some people run it during 8 hours+
My guess is that one hour for 2 or 4 cores 100% loaded is good enough to say that the systems is stable because under a real situation it is doubtful that cores will be loaded such high unless you do HD rendering or something similar.

There are some exceptions though. I had 2 hours of prime 95 on 790i and after it it froze with good temps ... another person reported about the same situation after 14 hours of prime 95 ...
