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

[spikerules]

Here is my 2cents...
Customers need to stop blaming the board, I know I was one of them, but a board can only do what it is allowed to do by its components/BIOS. Yes, Foxconn needs to fix a lot of bugs in the BIOS, but customers also need to provide the board with adequet hardware, I mean, it's a $360-399 board why on earth would you stick cheap @$$ $100 set of RAM in it or a CPU well below an E8400 [not saying anyone in particular, just generalizing]. It just does not make sense to buy the 3rd or 4th most expensive enthusiast motherboard and provide it with crappy components. I'm not saying go out and get a QXxxxx or some other form of super expensive components, but don't get the cheapest things around and come here blasting the board; just because the board is expensive does not mean it will support every RAM stick, CPU, GPU, etc out there.

Are you joking? How is OCZ cheap RAM? You get different flavors, from value to performance. I have one of the most expensive sets of RAM you can buy, which cost me £294! This RAM is more expensive than the motherboard.

So, now tell me I am buying cheap RAM? Customers should never stop complaining if they have something to very much valid to complain about. The motherboard doesnt support OCZ memory and it wasnt mentioned by Foxconn. And now we have a reason for it... not because its "trash" ram, but because OCZ didnt give foxconn free memory to test. This is beyong belief.

Sorry if i misunderstand you, but are you saying that Foxconn have based their recommendations and tests for memory on the X48 Blackops on the list of recommended 790i memory from the EVGA website?

Indeed. Xello, gmcg's statement seemed like a fanboy statement to me.

Well, I finally gave up on the OCZ since its been stated that its trash ram and put my Dominators in.

No, No, No. It is not trash RAM. That is what people would have you believe. OCZ RAM is amongst the most popular RAM you can buy and if you look at the link above, you will see they produce for the enthusiast and overclocker too. This all seems to come down to the fact that OCZ wont give out free RAM to foxconn. It's childish to say the least.
