Bloodrage new G25 bios

**Lord Trident** · 05-22-2009, 12:50 AM

well the wait is over here it is

http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.ph...e=8A1F1G25.zip

ok the list is a bit like this

Added BIOS setup control item "PCI Express Bus Clock".
Added BIOS setup control item "CPU QPI Latency".
Added BIOS setup control item "IOH QPI Latency".
Added BIOS setup control item "CPU QPI Drive Strength".
Added BIOS setup control item "IOH QPI Drive Strength".

Added "Current Timings" item.
Added "CPU Hardware Prefetcher" item.

Modify "DRAM Voltage" default from 1.85V to 1.70V for "Memory Profile Select"
Auto and "Virtual XMP" Enabled.
Modify "CPU VTT (UnCore) Voltage" default from added 5 step to 9 step for
"Memory Profile Select" Auto and "Virtual XMP" Enabled.
Modify for BIOS item "QPI Target Speed" show wrong speed.
Modify BIOS POST CPU speed string from 3.06GHz to 3.07GHz for 950 CPU.
VID defaults for some older CPU how sorted

am the not working list is like this

PCI-E clock(still been worked on ) so you can get to 102.4 but helps a little on bclk
Cas Latency 1 lower then it should be
CPU and IOH QPI Latency options - if you scroll up from auto to 256, it doesn't let you scroll back down to 0

so have fun and don't shout at me about stuff not working that i've said
we are working on fixing the bios but it does take time and shouting will not speed it up

thanks

Thanks Carl. Progress with bios is much appreciated. Can't wait to try.

**r1ch** · 05-22-2009, 03:11 AM

Thanks Carl, it's great to see things moving in the right direction. This is a good step forward and the best BIOS for the Bloodrage yet.

More notes for anyone else reading:
- CAS latency is only reported 1 step lower in the bios i.e it'll say CL6 but its actually CL7. In CPU-Z it shows correctly and performance agrees with CPU-Z.
- PCI-E frequency can boot 100-103 inclusive, and setfsb can change it up to 103.4.
- XMP profile works great.
- 2-3 bclk boost (for me, ymmv

)

**The-Fox** · 05-22-2009, 03:30 AM

you are the man Carl

I am going to check it out, hopefully I can score some bClk.
I managed to get up to 112Mhz on the PCI-E clok easily on the P6T Deluxe, so I will have a good reference if it is the board in case I will stuck on a lower freq.

**Lord Trident** · 05-22-2009, 04:43 AM

hi the-fox

i know you not reach that yet but we working on it
but its a start and show we are going down the right paths

and the journey will be good and worth it

thanks

Great news about the additional BIOS features.

Anyone tested if G25 is as fast as G22? For 32M G25 should be the fastet because of the Prefetch feature, right?

**Mescalamba** · 05-22-2009, 05:12 AM

Seems like there is some future for BR.. so maybe I should keep it for future?

**maxxx** · 05-22-2009, 05:12 AM

Lord T: thanks for that.

**systemviper** · 05-22-2009, 05:19 AM

thanks for the effort, i'll load it this weekend.

**The-Fox** · 05-22-2009, 09:45 AM

Ok I loaded the BIOS, gained a few bClks.
The PCI-E does clock untill 102.4 and thats it, if it would have gone up to 110-115 we would have even nicer results

Anyway, the Bloodrage is on the right way, keep it up

Some OC results FTW:

Max validation:

Some PiFast:

And my currently SuperPi 32M record (that is seriously a fast board):

**Utnorris** · 05-22-2009, 10:12 AM

This is awesome! I was already getting 220 x 20 on my new D0 at just 1.36v vcore. I will have to see what this BIOS will do for me. Glad to see that Foxconn hasn't forgotten about us.

**Utnorris** · 05-22-2009, 10:13 AM

One more thing, any chance Foxconn will release the VFD after all?

**Lord Trident** · 05-22-2009, 12:01 PM

will try to find out next week

i know i got a sample of it and it good

**Utnorris** · 05-22-2009, 12:23 PM

Great, just put it back in the box and ship it my way, I will even pay for the shipping.

You're unlucky bud, I'm going there to pick it up myself

**Utnorris** · 05-22-2009, 01:29 PM

Oooooohhhh, yoooouuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least post some pics and give us a review.

**Expat GriZ** · 05-22-2009, 01:52 PM

Great News Lord Trident!!! Can't wait to get home and try this for myself. Keep the support coming Foxconn!!

**DJSUB** · 05-22-2009, 01:58 PM

thanks a lot lord trident!

hope you can include support to modified timings in memset & cpu tweaker

keep up the good work!

Don't get disappointed.
Just turn your humor detector on

I was just kidding

**Utnorris** · 05-22-2009, 05:09 PM

Well, I hope you knew I was joking. I don't expect to get one of these, but i wouldn't be suprised if you did as you seem to be on the inside. But seriously, I hope you didn't think I was mad or upset, as I wasn't. Just wish they would follow through with the VFD.

**Mescalamba** · 05-22-2009, 05:43 PM

Who wouldn't like VFD?

I guess almost every BR user.. going to have second BR soon.

**Lord Trident** · 05-23-2009, 12:07 AM

Utorris you can not upset me by asking for a VFD all i'll do if i was is put up a pic and say dream on

lol.

Ok the problem with memset and cpu tweaker may but not are fault
but i dont know who the person is for that. But i see if there anything we can do

but at the moment it not on the top of my list lol
but it on my list to look at

Your BIOS Engineer needs to change the value of a MSR and then memset/CPU Tweaker will work just fine.
Yes, it is on your side.

**DJSUB** · 05-23-2009, 04:55 AM

here's what the author of memset said about it.

OK, I made a post about it 2 week ago, but all is erasing:

They are two bits which lock the Memory Configuration Space access in Core i7:
One is named MEM_CFG_USER_LOCKED (Bus:255, Dev:0, Fct 0, OffSet:88 bit[1])
and the other MEM_CFG_LOCKED (Bus:255, Dev:0, Fct 0, OffSet:88 bit[0]).
Both are Read Only bits, but MEM_CFG_USER_LOCKED bit can be unlocked under Win
by setting at 1 the bit: Bus:255, Dev:0, Fct 0, OffSet:88 bit[1].

-On eVGA MBoards, both are unlocked.
-On GigaByte MBoards, only MEM_CFG_USER_LOCKED bit is locked, so simply writing
in Bus:255, Dev:0, Fct 0, OffSet:88 bit[1] and it's OK.
-On AsusTek MBoards, MEM_CFG_LOCKED bit is locked: I can't do nothing.
-On others MBoards, both are locked and I can't do nothing too.

So, two solutions:
-First, MBoards bios engineers can simply unlock MEM_CFG_LOCKED and a bios update will fix the problem.
-Second, a bios mod, but we don't know how to unlock MEM_CFG_LOCKED for now; perhaps at next.

hope that you can help us use memset to modify timings in windows

thanks!

**DJSUB** · 05-23-2009, 05:08 AM

this is one of the best board i've ever had. it could be more devastating in hwbot when all the options we need will include in the future bios

without your help i wouldnt able to get the trophy for this

bios G25

thanks a lot!
