oscar3d Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi all: I need some help. I have a ASUS P5W DH motherboard wunning a Core2Duo (Conroe) x6800 2.93Ghz. I have 4 GB ram, 4 sticks of 1 gig, (2 pairs of Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 2GB Kit DDR2-800). This set specs say that it is "Tested at 5-5-5-12-T1 latency settings at 1.9V SPD programmed at 5-5-5-12-T1 values" Running this sets with the Jumperfree Settings on Auto, the motherboard on POST says it's PC-5300. On auto it treats this memory as DDR2-667 I change the Jumperfree Settings to Manual and set the frequency to DDR2-800. Now on POST it says PC6400. Now it's right, I got DDR2-800 Now the problem is that when I run CPU-Z it tells me that the memory is running at 400.7Mhz, which is fine. But the timings is the big deal: CPU-Z says: Frequency: 400.7 Mhz FSB:DRAM 2:3 Cas#Latency 5.0 clocks RAS# to CAS# Delay 5 clocks RAS#Precharge 5 clocks Cycle Time (Tras) 18 clocks Bank Cycle Time (Trc) 21 clocks Now that's weird it's set at DDR2800 and tells me 5, 5, 5, 18, 21 It's supposed to be 5, 5, 5, 12, T1 I don't know what T1 is. I tried raising the DRAM voltage to 1.9V. But when I load CPU-Z it stills show me the same numbers. Why can't I get the timings that this memory is supposed to have? What should I do? Am I doing something wrong. I tried to set the timing manually on the BIOS setup, to 5, 5, 5, 12, and T1 (?) But oh, wait there is no T1 as an option, the choices are only numbers. Excuse my ignorance but I'm actually lost. Can you help me please? Thanks a lot in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 1T or T1 refers to the command rate. Find this setting in your bios and make sure it is at AUTO or 1T. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar3d Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for the answer. Still, cannot find the command rate option. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Actually, I need to correct myself. Intel systems do not allow you to adjust the command rate. It is automatically configured so you won't need to concern yourself with adjusting it. Sorry, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greginno Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Unfortunately I don't have a helpful reply- just wanted to chime in to say that I have the same components and am in the same boat as you. My CPUZ SPD also reads 400Mhz 5-5-5-18 (TRC 22). I manually set to 401Mhz 5-5-5-12 (Trc reads 21) but get some funny errors sometimes (cant use DVDRW - Start.exe application failed to launch 0xc0000006... everytime i put in a CD in -grrr). Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robolf Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I would suggest if you think you RAM is causing the problem that you run memtest, as if you are correct then you could be corrupting files on your computer as we speak......
