Pollux Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey Folks, I'm just another victim of this darn MoBo from Gigabyte - about a year ago I already posted due to a problem with the timings and it worked out all right. Not as far as I wished but the board didn't crash any more... So I decided to go for another Set of Corsair Sticks in my board and it went well, but with the new Bios F12 there came my big question: The whole Timings-Menu has been redesigned by Gigabyte and there's a new option: DDR-Speed. By default it is set to 333MHz, but the board and the RAM should support 400MHz, am I right? If I set it up to 400MHz the RAM is ~25% faster (tested with Everest) but the board is freaking unstable. BSOD, CTD etc. If possible I'd like to get the values corresponding to the 400MHz-setting. The following settings are actually set: HT Frequency Ratio 5x CPU Clock 200 K8 CPU Clock Ratio Auto Current DDR Speed 333 DDR Clock / Timing Mode Auto CPU / DDR Clock Ratio 2 / 1.66 DDR Speed 333 DDR Timing Auto CAS# latency(Tcl) 3 Min RAS# active time TRAS 7t RAS# to CAS# delay TRCD 3t Row precharge time TRP 3t Row to Row delay TRRD 2t Row cycle time TRC 10t Row refresh cycle time TRFC 12t Read-to-Write time TRWT 4t Write Recovery Time TWR 3 bus clocks Write-to-Read delay TWTR 1 bus clock Refresh Rate TREF 166 MHz, 7µs Read Preamble value 6ns Async Latency value 7ns AGP Clock 66 CPU Voltage Control Normal Normal CPU Vcore 1.5000V AGP Voltge Control Normal DDR Voltage Control +0.2V To sum it up: GA-K8NSNXP-939 4x 512MB 3200C2Pro WinXP Pro 500Watts PSU Thanx in advance, Pollux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMC_SAVAGE Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 What is the RAM voltage set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollux Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Voltage is set to +.2 --> 2.7V Why should 4 Modules be run at a lower rate than 2? Just curious...:laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 1, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 1, 2005 There is more loading on the memory controller as you add more memory and the system will need to slow the memory down to be able to access it all.
