Default Re: IN DEPTH OF FOXCONN BLACKOPS–the x48 motherboard dedicated to gamers

Image of the application install page


The overclocking utility, AEGIS panel, comes with BLACKOPS (X48) have been upgraded to a newer & stronger version than what we saw in Mars (P35).


FSB or voltage can be tuned in AEGIS panel


Also monitoring voltage and temperature


More functions


FOX LiveUpdate BIOS update utility.


Intel Core 2 Duo processor, E8600, runs stable at 556MHz SP2004


Comparing to other X48 based motherboards, BlackOps out-performs at running over 550Mhz FSB and stay stable.
We also saw a lot of people working BlackOps to 570~590MHz at CPUZ.

Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, QX9650, runs stable at 460Mhz Super PI 32M


The performance at quad core is above average comparing to P35.
FOXCONN BLACKOPS uses a different voltage design which cause a lower voltage value in CPUZ.
FOXCONN’s own utility shows the correct CPU voltage for reference. Hopefully we will see a future version to fix the CPUZ issue.
Overclocking at DDR3
2 DDR3 1800 CL7 7-7-20 1.99V
System runs stable with dual SP2004 2GB loaded


Memory bandwidth testing
It runs stable at DDR3 1800 CL7. Unfortunately the BIOS we have can’t push it to DDR3 2000. Hopefully we’ll see it soon with a newer BIOS.
