Yesterday i swapped my Vengeance 8GB kit out of a 8GB Low volt kit, but when trying to use EOCP to setup via the XMP Profile, the motherboard won´t boot and instead crashes to a reset as if i was OC´ing.
The funny part is, the ram is working fine at rated spec with JEDEC timings (a bit tigther than the XMP timings) and at 1.35V
New Ram:
CML8GX3M2A1600C9W

Would be nice if you could fix this in an upcomming bios update 🙂
And im still missing the option to manualy control Spread Spectrum, witch should be an option on a highend motherboard like this 🙂
Thansk and looking forward for the next (non beta) bios release.

Thanks for sharing this information. Its really strange, I agree. I will tell our BIOS team this.

Good to know 🙂
Do tell if you get an ETA on the F7 non-beta bios, and if you would be so nice, please remember to suggest them to include manuel spread spectrum control, rather than automatic 😛
I should´nt need to OC to turn off spread spectrum now should i ? 😀

Just at little update.
I have isolatet the issue to the "TFRC 0" setting, beening for Dimm 0/2, the XMP profil want to use 110Ns but doing so will make the mobo hang and discard the setting.
Selecting 160Ns and keeping the rest of the XMP timings seems to be working, but i doubt they would set a bad timing in XMP like this and get away with it clean, so 110Ns should be useable by the mobo aswell, even if the issue is with the lower volt 🙂

A little update on a newly found bug 😀
It seems that when using EPP memory like my DDR1866 kit here (i changed back when i got my FX-4170 for the extra bandwith) the mobo chooses 2200FSB for the HT-link, but this is incorrect as the FX-4170 runs with at NB-FSB of 2200Mhz and HT-FSB of 2600Mhz.
This should be fixed, as most people would never notice this (i almost didnt 😛 )
