Dracula Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 To put it simply it means how long the memory can hold onto data without being refreshed.It's only of of 2 of the actuall refresh type timings I believe but it's been a while. The higher or longer tREF is set to, the more speed you get, because you don't have to wait for it to refresh before it does it's thing. Now set to high of a refresh will get you glitches and stuff like that, like any memory timing. Generally you want the max tREF you can get with the highest memory speed you can get. Find you max mem speed, make sure it's 100% stable, then play with tREF and get it as high as it goes before it becomes unstable. The perfomance beneifts are'nt the greatest but they do help out. It can make the overall setup run smoother... Thanks for the info NEOAethyr.
