Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 27, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 27, 2004 Please try and set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and you can use this as a reference for the timings. CAS Latency CL=2.5 Row Cycle Time tRC Bios Default Row Refresh Cyc Time tRFC Bios Default Ras# to CAS# delay tRCD 3 Row to Row delay Bios Default Min Ras# Active Time tRAS 8 Row Precharge Time tRP 3 Write Recovery Time Bios Default Write to Read delay Bios Default Read to Write Delay Bios Default Refresh Period tREF Bios Default Enable 2T Timing Enabled Then test the system with http://www.memtest.org and make sure it's stable!

macc12 Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 wow, thanks for the fast reply! i have no idea what the setting are you posted, i have none of them, the only ones i have is what i posted,and also do have any idea on the bank enterleave? Many Thanks Macc12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I've edited both posts, the ones bolded in red are the same. dram command rate may be the Cas Latency. If it is, it will only let you set it to 2.0, 2.5, or 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 27, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 27, 2004 The settings are listed by the name and Identifier, IE: TRAS TRCD and such. And I would leave bank interleave at Auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macc12 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thanks alot for the fast replys,it makes things go alot smoother! The bank enterleave, cant set to auto, it's enabled or disabled,and if I select enable,I have a choice of 2way or 4 way. I think it's going to be alot better with the setting you posted, I just think I need to find out what the interleave setting should be. Thanks Again Macc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I think he meant to just leave it at the default setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macc12 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 So really what you are saying is, you dont know what it is or does, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 28, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 28, 2004 LOL! If you want to know what these settings do or mean, I would suggest you ask the MB maker to explain them too you or you can do a search at http://www.google.com or on http://www.rojakpot.com you will find a bios setup guide that will explain a lot.
