FF or 80 is normal for run condition. Only problem if it hangs at FF.

Hi everyone.
I nearly have all my parts together for my bloodrage build.
I am stuck on what memory to get. Help me out?
I have a i7 920 and my target will be 4.0 and would like to run my memory as
high as possible. I have seen people get 2000+ with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145224
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231238
this has an 1800 XMP profile
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227388
What about this stuff? no idea how high it will go, but seems to have best timings I have seen at 1600.

What should i get??

It's suppose to show FF when everything's working right.
I've never seen 80 after FF on this board or any of the other foxconn boards that I've owned.
As long as you use DDR1600 you should hit 4.0 without a problem (at least RAM wise). Some DDR1333 could reach such clock but 1600 could definitely do it since 920 at 4.0GHz will bring the RAM up to it's rated speed.Quote:

Could you share your settings for that please ? :up:Quote:

Don't have a change log, so I don't know if they fixed another issue with this one.
Let me mess with it a little more and I'll throw up those settings.Quote:

I shall have some results and a general image of the new BIOS later on.
Quite interested in seeing those :DQuote:

Where can we find bios updates ?
They must have only 1 or 2 "Stable" BIOSes, P03 and P04 if I recall correctly, and they should be online soon.Quote:

Easy!Quote:

I have a noob question, how do you flash the bios? The last board I had was the A8N32 s939 board, which uses floppy to flash, and I am not planning to install a floppy on my next build.

There's also a AWDflash incorporated in the BIOS and should pop-up and allow flashing by pressing ALT+F2 during POST, but it doesn't seem to be working right now.
Whenever I have attempted to use this method of updating the BIOS, I lose the BIOS upgrade when removing power from the mobo. Updating the BIOS via USB/floppy/CD etc, there are no issues.Quote:

You're saying that you're flashing the main BIOS with version G15 ( for example ) and after removing the power from the board it goes back to G13 for example ?
Have you fiddled with the on-board BIOS option jumpers ?
Sounds like it doesn't write new bios in winflash or foxupdate :shrug:Quote:

That is 100% correct. I was testing the secondary BIOS. Originally, I had P02 installed, so decided to upgrade via the Fox Live update. It properly updated the BIOS to G13, but when I removed power, it went back to P02.:shrug:Quote:

I will attempt to duplicate this on the primary BIOS and post results.
After flashing the BIOS, if you're using the secondary BIOS chip, in the first post it'll show up the info of the main BIOS because the defaults settings are set to use the main BIOS chip.
Did you select to flash the Backup BIOS in Foxconn Live Update ? Because that's the 2nd BIOS chip.
alright i'm try to get either evga or blood rage from foxconn, and I can't decide.
any advantage of evga over the foxconn or vice versa that you guys could think that will push me to get a foxconn? i don't do tri-sli, and i doubt i will use more than 6gb ram, so seem both board meet my requirement.
i'm just try to do a detail comparsion between the two. ahh can't decide pulling my hair out
