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

[raptor1]

To clarify, I meant that when I set my PC to 8.5 x 500FSb [4250Mhz] my results are slower than when I set it to 9 x 475 [4275Mhz]. Eventhough the RAM is running a full 100Mhz faster. but the CPU 25Mhz slower, my result suffer a bit of a loss. I also like the fact that I can then set the vDIMM and vNB lower [1.40v vNB with 475, 1.50v vNB with 500; 1.87v vDIMM with 475, 1.955v vDIMM with 500]. You got to remember that the heat generated by the CPU at 4250 and 4275 is basically the same [in my case it is exactly the same] since the volts I apply are identical, but the NB heat goes up a bit, making the temperature in my watercooling loop higher thus raising the temperature of my CPU as well [indirectly].

Flanr, you should really leave the random settings on AUTO [like that 110T, 23T, 19T, etc]. You actually get a tighter setting with AUTO. If you are able to boot with them set to AUTO, fire up MemSet, and you will see what I mean. For example, that 110T you have set manually, gets assigned a 60T with AUTO. You should also try running your FSB at 475Mhz, for some reason that extra 28Mhz give me a hell of a boost in SPI results, even with a "slower" RAM. When running the 4M test is hardly noticeable, but when you run the 32m and you get a +2sec result that can be the difference [in my case] between 10.58.xxx and 11.xx.xxx. Finishing under 11mins is pretty sweet, compared to the 12min+ that I used to get with everything at stock.

if in my last post it seemed that i was doubting you or criticizing i did not mean to, even though i work in the computer business, this overclocking is new to me, so any help you give will be appreciated

i have set everything to auto in the memory settings as you suggested and changed the nb and memory voltage down and cpu 9 x 475 and memory 1900

pc does post and goes in to windows fine, but it has corrupted my raid 1

intel storage manager in windows is repairing at the moment so i will have to wait to try any benchmarking
