shrektogre Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I am using a pair of Device Description DIMM1: Corsair CMX512-3200C2PRO modules. Corsair claims their timings to be 2-3-3-6. When I use the auto spd function in my BIOS, the memory defaults to 2.5-4-4-8, and in Everest Home it is reported at 3-3-3-8 @ 112 ns. When I manually set my timings to 2-3-3-6, it reports my timings as 3-3-3-6 @106 ns. Is this normal? When I've used Everest on a host of other computers, it seems to be quite accurate. My whole configuration is: Asus P4C-800E Deluxe P4 3.0c Corsair Corsair CMX512-3200C2PRO x 2 MSI Geforce 6600GT Maxtor Diamondmax 9 160GB SATA x2 Sony DRU500AX DVD-RW Antec TruePower 550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 20, 2005 You are looking at the SPD not the tested settings for the modules, and all of our XMS C2 modules would have their SPD set to JEDEC defined values for the specific IC used to make that given part. And the tested settings would need to be manually set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrektogre Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 You are looking at the SPD not the tested settings for the modules, and all of our XMS C2 modules would have their SPD set to JEDEC defined values for the specific IC used to make that given part. And the tested settings would need to be manually set. Except that if you had read my complete post you would have noted that I did manually set the timings and came up with the same results. Although Everest may not be the best benchmarking utility on the market, I have used the current version on several other systems in the past month and have had accurate results except with mine. I'm trying to attain if this is normal or if I potentiallly have some problems starting with my memory. Memtest has not shown any problems yet, that is why I am trying to make sure that this is a normal outcome for what ever reason with your memory.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 21, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 21, 2005 Yes, but you are looking in the wrong section or program. What you see is the SPD not what the chipset is actually setting the registers too. I would suggest you use Everest 1.5 as it will allow you to see the SPD timings and what the chipset registers are actually set to. The SPD will not change when you change the settings, it's just ignored by the bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
