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

[saaya]

spikerules, i know what its like to run into problems with hardware and how frustrating it can be, but please calm down man. if its really giving you such a hard time then just send it back, but please stop bashing it here and poking at people who like the board and are happy with it.

1. about the memory performance, your comparing 790 with x48 here, thats not a board thing, its a chipset thing
memory wise 790 is faster. if you check out reviews you will see that this advantage in memory performance doesnt really translate into faster system performance... unfortunately... i think the fsb is limiting here.
well, im pretty sure actually, seeing as single channel on nehalem gets you 50% more mem perf than dual channel on x48

2. thats why god invented 90 degree sata cables
but yeah, we will hopefully have 90 degree plugs on the board there in future

3. everything else you ranted about i didnt really understand.
please post more details in a calm way so i can try to help you fix those problems :P

Because, with all due respect, this isnt what we paid for, and it certainly isnt what we were told from reviews, including this site I might add.

what are you referring to? what did a website or review show or say about the blackops that is not true or not possible etc?

4. Tighten your memory settings - look which ones people use
LOL - this board wont even let me go one step up from 1066, when my memory is 1333 capable.

could you please post more details about this?

Update: After a bit of tweaking i have now a read of 11408 in everest and a score of 15960 approx in 3D Mark 06

congrats!

For some reason I can not get my new Everest Ultimate to work. It keep saying "Invalid floating point operation" and I just bought it 3 days ago?

everything else works fine? try to reinstall... if that doesnt work them pm "fiery" ,he works for lavalys and migh be able to fix it
