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

[spikerules]

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.

could you please post more details about this?

I would love to... what didnt you understand from my post? I cannot, CANNOT, get my memory to run at stock speed. My memory runs SLOWER than it should do with this motherboard. I am running at 1066, when I should be running at 1333.

I get 3k+ score on 3Dmark on the Asus at lower CPU speeds. For example: -

Asus Striker II @ 3.0GHz with 1600MHz 3GB RAM under XP I get 15000

Foxconn Blackops @ 3.6GHZ with 1066MHz 4GB RAM under Vista I get 12500

Now does the performance difference add up to you? If it does, please explain how, so I can finally put this motherboard to rest. OK I am running Vista, but I have turned off all the features etc... I know I should discount around 900 points maybe, but that doesnt add up still. I just need an explanation! I am thinking its a combination of the slower memory speed and vista. Would I be right in assuming this? One thing I have noticed is that the CPU speed is around 1000 points lower on 3dmark on this board, would this be due to the memory or vista or both?
