Overclocking to Lite-On 48125W, post your experience!!

Get the binary backup files ....

And read how to use mtkflash here.

My experience is that the firmware is well tweaked, write quality is high (better than LTR-40125? with any firmware version out so far).

Seems like the drive adjusts the writespeed/strategy during writing now since it sometimes dropped writespeed. This should in theory also give better quality discs.....

What's your experience?

Sorry, slightly off topic here but my CyberDrive CW058D does that too!!! I've never heard mention of it anywhere else though. If I'm using some low quality media (not low speed rated) then it may increase to 20X then drop back down to 16X when it should be speeding right up.

I'm glad you've mentioned it because I kept quiet thinking no one would believe me

My experiance is very good, works very well.

Shit it's fast! I got good value for money when I bought a 32125W then made it a 40125W and now a 48125W

I must agree, this f/w is tweaked a little better than vWS03 for the 40125W....

Off for some CCD 4013 tests now, and to see how well my LTD-163 keeps up, as it will be 'border line' @ 48X CAV recording "on the fly".

Great job Lite-On. The "6" series with the fast RW speed should't be too far now....

My Taiyo Yuden 24x cannot be recorded at 48x, they have thousands of c2-errors beginning at 62min then.

But 22x-40x P-CAV (with 40x @ 45min) is still faster than 19x-40x P-CAV (with 40x @ 70min)...

My TY 24X was automatically limited to 40X anyway.....(yes I have smartburn on).

Time for TY to move to Phthalocyanine DYE?

ok i updated my 40125s to the 48125w, its instald right now windows detect it great, but now the next prob nero doesnt recognice it and so does cdrwin, that are my 2 fav progs to burn with , so if anyone knows the answer please let me know


greetz sphere man

make sure you have nero 5.5.8.2.... That one works for me.

CD-R win will most likely not suppoort it yet....

thx oc-freak

i will try it right away

I have a orginal LTR-40125W Firmware: WS03

My question is:

If i update to my drive to a LTR-48125W. Can I go back to LTR-40125W then?

Realy want to know.

/Dyzan

yes, you can by using mtkflash....and a bin firmware

yes you can go back to your old f/w
just back it up go to the manual of mtkflash and there you learn how to do it


greetz sphere man

Yes!!!!!

I know about mtkflash.... I have update the firmware earlier from WS01 to WS03.

But thanks! Thats all I needed to know.

Will try it when I get home.

Guess I have to update my own Firmware page.

hmmz i just burnd a music bin file with fire burner in 1minute 30seconds

anybody know another prog that can burn bin/cue files i heard nero could do it but i really dont know how tryed everything

greetz sphere man

ow another question is there somewhere around already a 48x media checker just curious


greetz sphere man

I mount them on Daemon tools and do a CD 2 CD on the fly copy.

CDRWin, BlindWrite, Nero and a few other apps burn bin/cue. What's wrong with FireBurner? It's a great little burning prog.

Does any body done benchies?

How much faster?

The flash went fine from my Liteon 40x (S model) to 48x. It would not write at 48x with Mitsui or Tayio Yuden media that were 24x rated but which had reached 40x with the older Liteon 40x firmware. The overall speed however was 34.6x, a great improvement over the 40x write speed. I did have smartburn on however.

CMC 40x rated disks got up to 45x+ but I had one coaster so the firmware seemed a bit testy as the old 40x firmware writes fine with them.

All in all a worthwhile flash and certainly it will become more worthwhile as the faster media is more readily available and goes up to 48x and more of the software is able to recognize it.

Since most of my software will not recognize this new firmware, I temporarily flashed back to ZSOG and 40x and had no problem doing that. As more software and higher rated media comes online, I will flash back permanently to the new 48x firmware. It all is really quite wonderful to be able to do this.

Thanks to all those who make it possible to do this, especially you, OC-Freak.

if i do the nero cd speed test it doesnt come over the 40x but it is faster then the old 40x because now the evarage is 36,40x



greetz sphere

lolz i put in a 24x certified disk and the average was 39x and ended on 48,90x


greetz sphere

To burn a Bin/Cue with Nero..
got To File then Burn Image, browse and select the cue for the set.
Thats it.

Thanks!!! 40125s -> 48125W no problems, well there's one problem. I just bought 100 24x TY Fujis and they still only burn at 40x. LOL. Oh well, at least the average burn speed will be faster.

Sphere man,

What kind of 24x media did you use to reach 48x+ at the end of the burn?

kenL here is some info on the disc

This Disc is designed for CD-RW/COMBO Drive Only.
Disc Type, Material = CD-R, Phthalocyanine
ATIP Lead-in = 97m 22s 66f
