KingPex Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Sli-d and 2 512mb modules of corsair ram, both in same pack, code is TWINX1024 3200XLPRO. I sometimes have system crash, it reboot itself in a moment, always while i'm playing games with high system requirements. I think it's RAM, and i'd like to know the parameters i have to put in MB BIOS. Thanks. I thought it was a temperature problem, but now they are ok and i think that the problem is the ram configuration. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPex Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 P.S.: i already searched in Google and in this Forum to try to find a similar post, but i didn't found one, so i posted myself, i'm sorry for the time i'll get to you... If i'm not so clear or you can't understand something, ask me for details... Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What FSB and Multiplier are you using? If you don't knowthe answers to these questions, download CPU-Z here:http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-135.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingPex Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 In Bios settings i have more parameters then CPU-Z. However i'll write the values that CPU-Z give me, then i'll go to Bios and i'll post all values after write them. I attach the cpu-z report .txt with only CPU, chipset and memory results. I have an athlon64 4000+ San Diego, 200mhz x12.0 Settings of RAM are: CAS Latency: 2 RAS to CAS Delay: 2 RAS Precharge: 2 Cycle Time (tRAS): 5 Bank Cycle time (tRC): 7 Command Rate: 1T Dram Idle Timer: 256 These are settings taken by CPU-Z... Now i write all values in BIOS and i come back to post... Thanks for help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPex Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I said since now that all parameters can be set to AUTO, but RAM goes to 2.5, and i bougth them for the 2. Here are my Bios settings: CPU settings (not all can be set to AUTO) FSB frequency: 200mhz LDT/FSB freq. ratio: x5.0 LDT bus transfer width: <16>16 CPU/FSB freq. ratio: x12.0 PCIeX freq.: 100mhz CPU VID startup value: Startup Effective 1.38V LDT Voltage: 1.20V Effective 1.20V Chipset Voltage: 1.50V Effective 1.50V DRAM Voltage: 2.70V Effective 2.74V (i can change value but it doesn't change) DRAM +0.3V if it's not 3.2V: Disable DRAM settings (all can be set to AUTO) DRAM freq. set: 200=RAM/FSB:01/01 (or Auto/other Mhz) Command per Clock (CPC): Auto (or Enable/Disable) CAS Latency control (tCL): 2.0 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 02 Min RAS active time (tRAS): 05 Row Precharge Time (tRP): 02 Row Cycle time (tRC): 07 Row Refresh Cycle time (tRFC): 11 Row to Row Delay (tRRD): 02 Write Recovery Time (tWR): 02 Write to Read Delay (tWTR): 02 Read to Write Delay (tRWT): 03 Refresh Period (tREF): 3120 Odd Divisor Correct: Disable DRAM Bank interleave: Enable DQS Skew Control: AUTO DQS Skew Value: 0 DRAM drive strength: AUTO DRAM Data drive strength: AUTO Max Async Latency: AUTO DRAM Response time: Fast (or normal/slower, faster, fastest) Read Preamble time: AUTO Idle Cycle Limit: 256 cycles Dynamic Counter: Disable R/W Queue bypass: 16x Bypass Max: 07x 32 Byte Granularity: Disable (4 bursts) [or AUTO/Enable (2 bursts)] Thanks for the support, i hope i can help with this... I don't know what i have to change, which values i have to put and if i have to set all values or someone have to be set to AUTO. Thanks again...

billb Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Kingpex: First: "I said since now that all parameters can be set to AUTO, but RAM goes to 2.5, and i bougth them for the 2." With auto settings the memory will run at the SPD timings programmed into the memory modules (see CPU-Z SPD column). Manufacturers sometimes program slower timings into SPD so that a computer will boot with default (AUTO) settings, even though the memory is capable of running faster. Second: Here are your Bios settings and my suggestions: CPU settings (not all can be set to AUTO) FSB frequency: 200mhz LDT/FSB freq. ratio: x5.0 LDT bus transfer width: <16>16 CPU/FSB freq. ratio: x12.0 PCIeX freq.: 100mhz CPU VID startup value: Startup Effective 1.38V LDT Voltage: 1.20V Effective 1.20V Chipset Voltage: 1.50V Effective 1.50V DRAM Voltage: 2.70V Effective 2.74V (i can change value but it doesn't change) DRAM +0.3V if it's not 3.2V: Disable DRAM settings (all can be set to AUTO) DRAM freq. set: 200=RAM/FSB:01/01 (or Auto/other Mhz) Command per Clock (CPC): Auto (or Enable/Disable) CAS Latency control (tCL): 2.0 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 02...try 3 Min RAS active time (tRAS): 05 Row Precharge Time (tRP): 02...try 3 Row Cycle time (tRC): 07OK Row Refresh Cycle time (tRFC): 11...try 13 Row to Row Delay (tRRD): 02 Write Recovery Time (tWR): 02...try 3 Write to Read Delay (tWTR): 02 Read to Write Delay (tRWT): 03 Refresh Period (tREF): 3120...try setting of 1560 Odd Divisor Correct: Disable DRAM Bank interleave: Enable DQS Skew Control: AUTO DQS Skew Value: 0 DRAM drive strength: AUTO DRAM Data drive strength: AUTO Max Async Latency: AUTO Read Preamble time: AUTO DRAM Response time: Fast (or normal/slower, faster, fastest)... Try normal Idle Cycle Limit: 256 cycles Dynamic Counter: Disable..try Enable R/W Queue bypass: 16x Bypass Max: 07x...try 8x 32 Byte Granularity: Disable (4 bursts) [or AUTO/Enable (2 bursts)] You could try these settings to loosen up the timings a little without slowing things down much at all. That should get you up and running, stable at 200mhz (DDR400). You may find A64Info a little easier to use than the BIOS: http://avala.yubc.net/~lukija/A64Info.rar And last, but not least...those sticks should be able to run at over 225mhz (DDR550). Many others have gotten then to do that.

jaybird49 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I read where you all post parameters to bios. I have a gigabyte ga-81pe1000 series motherboard and r looking for instructions on how to change these setting in bios can anybody tell me how Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 28, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 28, 2006 I would try over at http://www.abxzone.com but you would need to list you complete system configuration. Or you can get the tested settings from the link in my signature and use them as a reference to set your Bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the best source of info as bios varies from brand to brand then board to board. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
