I switched to the backup BIOS and it's working just fine. I used the onboard rest and the unplug / remove battery reset on the primary BIOS before switching to the backup, had no effect. Still stops on 4F. To be clear, the backup BIOS is working as intended. I'm not sure this issue needs to be resolved, once the system is up and stable I doubt I'll pop back into the BIOS for any reason for years and it looks like I just might have it stable now.
The G.Skill F4-4133C19D-16GTZKW 21-19-19-41 1.35v (x2) kits are on their way back to Newegg. Had to fight with them about the restocking fee and shipping costs. They mislead me into buying the wrong product and I refused to allow them to profit off their mistakes. Their in a box and shipping right now. Note that I will take some of the blame for not double checking the QVL against my order, but you'd think Newegg would list out the specs you guys have for your products. Heck, I would think they would build recommendation lists based on your QVL. But, I digress.
I pick up a G.Skill F4-3600C17Q-32GVK kit and installed it this afternoon. XMP1 discovered all the settings. (Says they are supposed to work with XMP2 and the BIOS lists it, but automatically bounces back to XMP1, the board only supports XMP1?) Though, windows still doesn't list the memory correctly, the BIOS, Eleet-X software and couple of other programs that look up the system hardware do properly listed them at the proper frequency and clock settings. Ran a couple burn in tests focusing on heavy memory testing and the system didn't crash once.
Seems like I've got a runner here, now. Thanks for pointing out the rainbow colored unicorn in the middle of the room that I missed. :-D
