bleek Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 i have 512 one stick...pc3200(ddr400)...timmings....3-3-3-8 do u guys think that the problems are because the ram ?!?! see ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medianOCer Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 bleek, This might(?) help, you could try these settings in the BIOS - Advanced BIOS Features Virus Warning - Disabled CPU L1 Cache - Enabled CPU L2 Cache - Enabled APIC Mode - Enabled Advanced Chipset Features System Performance - Expert CPU Interface - Aggressive Memory Timings - Expert tRAS - 8 tRCD-Read - 3 tRCD-Write - 3 tRP - 3 CAS - 3.0 tRC - 11 tRFC - 14 tDOE - 3 tRRD - 2 tW2P - 5 tW2R - 3 tREXT - 2 tR2P - 2 tR2W - 4 SuperBypass - Enabled Sync Mode Memory Bypass - Auto Data Scavenged Rate - Fast Command Per Clock - Enabled (or Disabled for better stability with some RAM) DIMM(1,2,3) Driving Strength - Auto (on all of them) DIMM(1,2,3) Driving Slew Rate - Auto (on all of them) AGP Aperture Size - 128M (or equal to the amount of your Video Card memory) AGP 8x Support - Enabled (if your Video Card supports 8x mode) AGP Fast Write Capability - Enabled (unless you really seem to need it Disabled) CPU Thermal-Throttling - Disabled System BIOS Cacheable - Disabled Video RAM Cacheable - Disabled Genie BIOS Setting CPU Clock Spread Spectrum - Disabled AGP Clock Spread Spectrum - Disabled CPU Clock Setting - 200MHz AGP Clock Setting - 66MHz CPU Ratio - 11x DDR RAM Clock - 1:1 CPU Voltage Control - 1.65v to 1.70v (1.675v or 1.70v if your CPU needs more voltage) AGP Voltage Control - 1.5v or 1.6v (1.6v if your Video Card needs a bit more voltage) CHIPSET Voltage Control - 1.6v DRAM Voltage Control - 2.7v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizzard Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Hey median, i guess you know that nf2 hates cas 3, just a reminder..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleek Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 ok i will try that settings latter....so if nf2 hates cas 3... sugestions ?!?! or better i try.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizzard Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 try cas 2,5 or when your rams permit is cas2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleek Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 so do you think that my problme is all about memory timmings :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizzard Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 no not only that i guess. That's the irritating part. It's often a combination of things. So you have to test like crazy to find out what your bottleneck is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medianOCer Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 TheWizzard, Yeah, well aware of the potential issues of CAS 3 on these MBs. However, since I have less of an idea of what RAM chips he's got, and the SPD of the stick appears to be as he mentioned above, I figured I'd throw those out and he can go from there with tweaking. As you've mentioned, and if the RAM will permit it, he can go with the above mentioned and CAS 2.5, or if he's lucky enough CAS 2.0 might work. bleek, I'd still like to know what RAM chips are on that stick. Don't you still have the info about the memory from when you bought it? Even a full model number might be of use in locating info about it. Much of this can really be a shot in the dark if you don't have the info/data needed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWizzard Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Yo Bleek. Just a sec. If you'd like to help us out. Can you take out a ram module and give the exacte things that are writen on the chips to us? In that way we can see how we can help you from there. Thanks brutha.

medianOCer Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 bleek, If I had your computer, here's what I would do to it...as far as changes go. I would take the heatspreader off (carefully) of that RAM stick, then I could get the information off of the chip(s), or at least a better idea of what I would be dealing with; which might change some of the settings I'd use below. Since I don't have that information, I would try what is printed below. However, as mentioned, this is a 'shot in the dark'. BIOS Advanced BIOS Features Virus Warning - Disabled CPU L1 Cache - Enabled CPU L2 Cache - Enabled APIC Mode - Enabled Advanced Chipset Features System Performance - Expert CPU Interface - Aggressive Memory Timings - Expert tRAS - 8 tRCD-Read - 3 tRCD-Write - 3 tRP - 3 CAS - 2.5 tRC - 11 tRFC - 14 tDOE - 3 tRRD - 2 tW2P - 4 tW2R - 3 tREXT - 2 tR2P - 2 tR2W - 4 SuperBypass - Enabled Sync Mode Memory Bypass - Auto Data Scavenged Rate - Fast Command Per Clock - Enabled DIMM(1,2,3) Driving Strength - Auto (on all of them) DIMM(1,2,3) Driving Slew Rate - Auto (on all of them) AGP Aperture Size (MB) - 128M AGP 8x Support - Enabled AGP Fast Write Capability - Enabled CPU Thermal-Throttling - Disabled System BIOS Cacheable - Disabled Video RAM Cacheable - Disabled Genie BIOS Setting CPU Clock Spread Spectrum - Disabled AGP Clock Spread Spectrum - Disabled CPU Clock Setting - 167MHz AGP Clock Setting - 66MHz CPU Ratio - 11x DDR RAM Clock - 1:1 CPU Voltage Control - 1.60v to 1.65v AGP Voltage Control - 1.5v or 1.6v CHIPSET Voltage Control - 1.6v DRAM Voltage Control - 2.7v I'd thoroughly test that, then I'd change the computer type to this (below)...if I was still having problems.

TheWizzard Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 and when you pealed of the heatspreaders/trappers i also recommend you to leave those off as those nasty things only trap heat instead of spreading it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
