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

[pchanson]

Hi all,

Just getting a feel for this blackops board. Had it for about 2 weeks. Computer geeks is unloading new boards for 89 bucks each plus shipping. I feel this board had a lot of hype (and In my opinion, deservedly so) and then alot of bad reviews/press from reviewers that had no patience or even a clue as to what they were doing. I have dabbled a bit but I prolly fall into the "don't have a clue" category mentioned above.

I'd like to post screens of my bios settings for the 4.273 OC (on zallman 9700 air) in here and get tips on improvements. Any takers on coaching? I feel I have done a halfway decent job as a 'noob" to this board and O.C'ing in general. My ultimate goal is a prime 95 stable system for 30 minutes @ 4.050 ghz or above and an OC'd 3d mark of 25k or better. I am willing to swap out ram to get there but would like to stick with 2 x 2 gig sticks if possible. My best score in 3dmark06 was 24,482. System was clocked to 427mhz/1709 Mhz FSB/4.273 ghz. If anyone can help or want's to re-ignite this thread, let me know. Running bios P07. I have had successful enough OC's of the bus to run 3dmark06 at 408 x 10, 427 x 10 and 433 x 9.5 among others. Prime95 at those speeds?? lol, yur kidding right?

Thanks,
Paul.
