nanochipz Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi guys. I have the same Memory (TW3X4G1600C9DHX) and an P5Q3 mobo with Q9400 cpu. I would like to know all the parameters I have to write to the BIOS (Latency, Voltage for DRAM, PLL for CPU,...). I want to overclock my micro as I want to reach the desired 1600 MHz DDR RAM. Please, help me!!! Thanxs in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanochipz Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hello, again. These are the typed parameters to the bios, but the system can't boot.... :( Ai Overclock Tuner = Manual CPU Ratio Setting = 8 FSB Strap to Northbridge = 400 FSB = 400 DRAM Timing Control = Manual DRAM Frequency = DDR3-1600 DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A = Auto DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B = Auto DRAM Timing Control = Manual CAS# Latency = 9 RAS# to CAS# Delay = 9 RAS# PRE Time = 9 RAS# ACT Time = 24 All Else to Auto DRAM Static Read Control = Disabled DRAM Dynamic Write Control = Disabled Transaction Booster = Disabled CPU Voltage = 1.20 V (Is this OK????) CPU PLL Voltage = Auto (No Idea what else can put here!) FSB Termination Voltage = Auto DRAM Voltage = 1.9v NB Voltage = 1.4v (No Idea ...) SB Voltage = Auto Load Line Calibration = Enabled (Bios says : "Improves Vdroop". What does it means??) CPU Spread Spectrum = Disabled PCIE Spread Spectrum = Disabled CPU margin enhancement=Performance model. The problem is the system can't boot, as I said. Anything else has this mobo with an Q9400 micro? Thanx in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylennic Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 G'day nanochipz, unfortunately, that ram doesn't reach 1600 on a P45 chipset. You'll need something else. See http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=71780 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanochipz Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Thanks Ylennic for the post-So any ideas about MAX RAM freqs I can have on my P45 chipset??? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylennic Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Results will vary, but I can push my 2GB kit to 1460MHz. Dunno about my 4GB kit though. I only tested it enough to see that it won't make near 1600 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanochipz Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Posting the results!!! The systems booted stable @1600 MHz after writting these parameters, as I wanted, too. Ai overclock Tuner = Manual CPU Ratio Setting = 8 FSB Strap to Northbridge = 200 FSB = 400 DRAM Timing Control = auto DRAM Frequency = DDR3-1600 DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A = Auto DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B = Auto DRAM Timing Control = auto All Else to Auto DRAM Static Read Control = auto DRAM Dynamic Write Control = auto Transaction Booster = auto Memory OC charguer = Enabled Ai Clock twister = Stronger CPU Voltage = 1.17500 V CPU PLL Voltage = Auto FSB Termination Voltage = Auto DRAM Voltage = auto NB Voltage = 1.30v SB Voltage = Auto Load Line Calibration = Enabled CPU Spread Spectrum = Enabled PCIE Spread Spectrum = Enabled CPU margin enhancement=Performance model. some images about results... http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7336/cpuid1.th.jpg%5D http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8679/cpuid2.th.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2929/cpuid4.th.jpg Now the system runs stable @ 3.2 GHz with 1600 FSB @ RAM at 1600..

Ylennic Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 What's your ram voltage? I can't open your images either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 28, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 28, 2009 The memory Voltage should be set to what is printed on the modules usually 1.7 or 1.8 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylennic Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I know that's what it should be, but leaving the setting at auto, I've found that motherboards tend to ramp the voltage way over the top. I'm just interested in what his setting is, because I cannot get these modules to run stable at 1600 with 1.7-1.8V at all. Also, I wouldn't mind knowing what timings his board has set the chips to as well and I can't make them out from those pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
