Perfectionist Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hello Corsair people, i decided to upgrade with some mighty fine memory and so purchased the one titled (will most likely be purchasing another 2gb in time so Vista wont get in the way of my games) because soon (well in a couple of months) i will be purchasing the Striker 2 Formula mobo. In the meantime though im stuck with using the memory in my current board. Ive noticed that at automatic configuration the motherboard seems to run the timings quite high @ 800FSB, really round about the timings i'd expect to be running at 1142FSB. Could techies please help me fine tune my timings so that i can enjoy low tight speeds. AMD Dual 5200+ (2.6Ghz) Speed= 800 FSB Cas Latency= 5 TRCD= 5 TRP= 5 TRAS= 18 Command Rate= 2T DQS Timing Training= Skip DQS CKE Base Power Down Mode= Enabled CKE Base Power Down By= Channel Memclock Tri-Stating= Disabled TWTR Command Delay= 3 TRFC0 For DIMM1= 75ns TRFC1 For DIMM2= 105ns TRFC2 For DIMM3= 75ns TRFC3 For DIMM4= 75ns TWR= 6 TRTP= 2 TRC= 23 TRRD= 3 Memory Hole Remapping= Enabled Auto Optimise Bottom IO= Enabled Bottom Of UMA Dram= FC With TRFC1 For DIMM2= 105ns ive left it as it is due to memory bieng in DIMMS 3-4 due to CPU Max Orb 2 heatsink towering over DIMM 1. I would run tests myself but ive already been through soo many reboots because of crappy OCZ memory not bieng properly compatible with my also crappy motherboard, im mentally tired now and could just do with a quick fix and would greatly appreciate it if you could give it to me. As long as i have a rough guide line on how to have my timings at that speed im all set, i just know that tightning timings from the motherboards current speeds is going to take a hell of a long time doing stress tests etc after each timing has been changed. P.S is it definately 1.8v recommended for 800fsb? Also please could my other post get deleted, posted in wrong area :o: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 What is the model of your DRAM. Don't put the name of the DRAM down. Just the model number. Also, what is the model of your current power supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfectionist Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi Derek, CM2x1024-9136C5D is my memory. Model for current PSU is OCZ-450 12U EU. Its starred out due to bieng memory competitor. Motherboards bios revision is 19 (just incase). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 19, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 19, 2008 You can get the tested settings from the link in my signature, but your CPU would have to over clock to get the tested frequency of the modules.

Perfectionist Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Well my head feels like its going to explode at the moment so will have a proper play around with it tomorrow. Have used my old overclock (with previous 1066fsb sticks) and noticed that in CPU-Z DIMM 4 doesnt report the stick - first time ive ever seen this, it is still showing i have 2 gb though in System.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 20, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 20, 2008 You cannot Mix memory with this platform are you trying to run 4 modules that are not exactly the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfectionist Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 The first 2 DIMMS are completely empty - its only the last 2 that are filled with the 2x1gb Dominator memory. Ive just set everything back to default and yet its still the same registering as only one DIMM in use. I have a feeling it was the change from bios revision 18 to 19 as i had problems with 19 (well, more problems than usual) before with my old memory. I'll reset CMOS and if still no change i'll go back to 18 and then post results. Its confirmed - DIMM 4 is now showing in CPU-Z with Bios 18.. flipping board, looks like i need to upgrade to Intel ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 20, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 20, 2008 If both of the modules will run and pass http://www.memtest.org one up then I would change the MB or CPU but if you can test them in another system that might help as well.
