Foxconn A7GM-s & F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK

[ohsiwon]

MY PC spec:

CPU: AMD Phenom 9350e
Motherboard: Foxconn A7GM-S (w/ latest bios)
Memory: F2-8500CL5D (2 packs)
OS: Vista 64 bit

Dear G.skill,

I bought 2packs of G.SKILL DDR2 PC2 8500 4GB kit (F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK) months ago.
This ram works prefect (0 error on 12hr memtest) when it's on 800Mhz.

But I bought this because it support 1066Mhz, and now I'm stuck w/ configuration.

At first, my foxconn board catch the memory latency 5-7-7-20 if AUTO selected.
So I tried to set the values on manual mode.

1. I increased NB to 1.48v (max. val on my board)
2. set 2.1v for memory.
3. set 5-5-5-15 for dram timing

And here's a weird thing happened... even if I set 5-5-5-15 manually the tCL stuck on 6,
so I get 6-5-5-15.

Also it gets me 6-7-7-20 with manual setting if I made same set as Auto( 5-7-7-20).
And the result, it kept fail on memtest

(FYI, I also run the test w/ CAS 6-6-6-18, 7-7-7-18 and only get few drops of errors...)

I spent my precious holiday weekend on this thing please help (Y_Y)
I'm looking forward to hear your answer.

Thank you.

ps: this board support tRFC up to val 42...

for this issue, we'd rcommend you to contact with Foxxconn to fix the BIOS
and to run at DDR2 1066, you'll need to set the DRAM frequency manually
thanks
