Foxconn BloodRage Issues / BIOS Bugs Thread

[Trembledust]

Tremble I'll give ya a working set later on that you can try

Thanks man. Much appreciated.

[Trembledust]

Hmmm....im a jerk lol. Think my a** should of gotten 1333 or lower ram instead of 1600mhz. Would explain my oc issues with the ram. Duh. smh. Still would appreciate those settings when U get a chance, Bench. Thanks again.

The settings are posted here

[Trembledust]

Thanks. I'll try out the settings in a bit, and get back to you.

Sascha, it looks like the CAS Latency setting in the G13 BIOS is bugged and doesn't set the value right, at least at 5T.
I will try the rest later on more than likely.
It looks like it's setting the tCL to 6 instead of 5.
Here's a screenshot:

I did some further testing:

tCL = 5 in BIOS results in tCL 6
tCL = 6 in BIOS results in tCL 6 [ I have an idea, I'll check if going from 5 to 6 triggers the normal Save & Exit -> Shutdown -> Power On (POST) sequence as it should if it was actually changing the tCL setting ]
tCL = 7 in BIOS results in tCL 7
tCL = 8 in BIOS results in tCL 8
tCL = 9 ? Didn't test it, that's too slow for me ( gonna try it tomorrow )

Does anyone else have a problem with G15 BIOS and cold boot? I'm unable to boot after shut down without additional restart (somehow it reminds on booting of P35 boards). I didn't experience this problem with P03 or G13.

I haven't but I am using G13 because it is more stable in my opinion than G15 and G16.

You're probably getting that because of the Vtt bug or the Mem / UnCore multipliers issue.

Like I said before, ditch G15, and get back to G13 for now and wait for G17 or a newer BIOS without the Vtt bug and the rest.

Got an ETA on newer bios? I have a decent chip (3841Axxx) and good mem waiting on a good I/O sys. to compliment.

I don't have a specific date at the moment, but I'm almost 100% sure that we'll see a new BIOS release this week/end.

Still no go with a successful over clock with the settings you gave me. Check the below link.

Where is a new Bios ?

I don't have any BIOS newer than G16 yet.
Might have one tomorrow ( that depends on my contact in Foxconn, I'm not working there you know )

I'm not sure if I'm doing somthing wrong, its a real issue, or if it hasn't been mentioned. I can't seem to boot to my SATA drive, regardless of if its on jmicron or intel southbridge. I had to use PATA to install windows. I also have two seperate RAID 0 on the south bridge.

I don't mind testing. Let's see that new bios!

Just received my Corsair 3x2 GT kit and installed in BloodRage. Set 7-8-7-20 mem timings in bios. 200 bclk, mem at 2005Mhz. Board WILL NOT RUN cas 7. It shows as cas 8 in cpuz, Everest and memset. When will the memory timing issues in BloodRage bios work the way they are supposed to? Running 1.66v dram and 1.46 vtt. Board will not cold boot with vtt>1.5. This kit runs insane on my DFI. FoxConn needs to catch up.

I think, it´s a Bios bug.

CAS 7 works fine for me with the G13 BIOS at least.
Perhaps one of your settings is not stable enough and the BIOS reverts to the most recent stable setting/s.

I don't think so. The board never goes to oc recovery. It boots normally but the cas gets changed to 8 from 7. Seems to be exact same bug as the tRAS setting getting changed, just a different setting. I tried G16 also. Same result.

good to hear!

about PPM, im not sure if disabling it disables the current monitoring, i dont think so.
when i asked intels nehalem engineers at idf they said its not possible to disable the current and tdp monitoring :/

Any thing new on this Ram on BloodRage? Are G.SKILL DDR3 PC 16000 CL7 3GB/6GB kit Perfect Storm series a good match for BloodRage .Seems like its a no go for me to buy the Corsair ram..

[BenchZowner]

They are working fine at CAS 7 now

[systemviper]

where's G17?
