well i have tried the F4 bios now...
I also was able to finally use the XMP setting successfully for the first time :)

seemed fine at first...but then i started having app crashes and other typical memory issues (general bugginess)
i just dont think this particular set wants to run at 2133 stable without alot of work

so i reverted back to my old settings, but then my latency and memory bandwidth benchmarks were not as good as before

so i wound up reverting to F3u :p

now everything is back to normal (f3u is a little higher memory bandwidth than f3t , with .1 ms increase in latency only)

unless something changes i am here to stay :p

bios: F3u  9-10-9-24-128 1T 1866mhz  1.65v
benchmarked using Sisoft Sandra Lite

thanks for the news...good luck with your setup :)

P.S. i dont have any temp reading issues here that i have noticed, but i forgot to check while on F4 :p

How did you revert back from F4 to F3u? I want to do the same but q-flash doesn't allow me

i used the latest @bios...

i know its not recommended, but im strangely more comfortable updating bios from Windows somehow ;-)

good luck
