I'm back, finally. Well I've been playing with my pc again , and finally ( thank god) figured out WHY it was causing freezes hours after gaming, the answer is NB , more specifically NB hight temps , now during summer under OCCT it goes up to 56 - which is already not good. Today i got a freeze after playing an hour of Riddick and after reboot my NB was at 53 so it was around 58-60 while I was playing -> which just as it was last time when I was testing 2 4850 caused freeze.

Bumping up this ancient thread because some people are too lazy to find it.

I have posted this once but like you said some people are too lazy to find it

This is c/p of my previous post

Here are my experience with Foxconn Black Ops. I bought it about six month ago and had pretty much OC session. I cant guaranteed these settings will work for you, but it works for me…
At first, I had some problems with 2x1gb Corsair 1600MHz DHX v3.1. What ever settings I tried, couldn’t get it stable or even bench it on 2000MHz. Just a few MHz lower it was all good. Then I bought 6x1gb Crucial Ballistix (4gb Crucial 1600MHz were with GTR and 2gb were Crucial 1800MHz with GTS). Other problem was with 2x1gb Kingmax 1333MHz (micron JNM). Didn’t work in dual channel and that wasn’t memory related problem… That was all my problems I had with this board…

I couldn’t get LN2 to my house, so all this was on air. Here are few shots and then results






A few pic for cooling. Also you have to look at this LINK and THIS








I had some incompatibility with TR 120Ex and Corsair DHX series memory. Here are pictures


Setup ready for subzero testing




Everything was ready, but there was no dice/LN2… I live in Pozega and there is almost impossible to get something of that… I have find somebody who can deliver me dry ice or LN2, but too late cause I had to sell this setup…



I was so curious that I tried to take off HS from Corsair… It is well known that they are using some kind of extra strong adhesive, but my curiosity was so big that I had to do it… Also I had some problems with >2000MHz clocks that I was thinking that this isn’t micron chips…

After that experience I bought 6x1gb Crucial Ballistix (4x1gb GTR and 2x1gb GTS) for benching… Very nice experience with it, with auto settings and 2.2v I achieved 2080MHz for super pi… With further tweaking 2100MHz is more than possible.


Here are some of my results and settings

I had very good experience with Black Ops, so I have decided to share some of my settings and results with you…I hope I post it in right section and you’ll enjoy reading this

Hi All,

After quite a wait to get my login to this forum I can finally post my findings!

I have had my Blackops for about 2 months now and have fine tuned it to bring me some real good perfomance. My highest over clock is 3.8 rock stable using a Q9550, 24/7 use i am at 3.6.

So There you have it, all in all a great board yes there are a couple of things in the bios that seem to need a tweak, but I for one am please with what this board can do. I have tried for 4.0ghz but I bottled putting to much VC through the CPU so that will have to wait.

Great forum by the way , it has helped me no end to get me to where I am.

Great forum by the way , it has helped me no end to get me to where I am.

I don't understand why you have SB so low, especially with RAID.
Also, do you really need NB so close to 1.7 ?
I would try +3.. +4 or +5 on NB GTL ref. with a lower NB voltage setting (1.5xxx).

..........and how about going for "1800" MHz with that memory??

[Freaks]

Hi XmX,

Thanks for your reply,

I have edited my post as some settings were displayed incorrectly (my bad) the SB is 1.5 i don't know where i got 1.3 from ?

I did try to add some GTL to the NB but I found that with the combination of settings I had it was unstable. I would like to get that NB voltage down as then I can use 3.8 24/7.

I'll have another play

Cheers

necro bump

(i think someone mentioned hitting a wall at 450 fsb on this mobo, recently..as of this post's date)

XmX

[quake6]

I don't think there is wall on 450, cause I hit 470 quad stable and 570 dual stable

[bot@xs]

sorry to wake this old thread up but i have a couple of questions
i got my hands on this board and a qx9650 fairly cheap now.
i can get the board up to 433 but have it currently running at 400 FSB
when i set the multi to anything over 9 it won't hold in the OS.
meaning i set it in BIOS to 10 for 4ghz but once i am in the OS it shows 3.6ghz with 9x400 in cpu-z and the aegis panel instead of 4ghz with 10x400. why is that? what am i missing?
