3700+ & Dr-Expert voltages

Got those timings from a finnish friend working at mushkin Works perfect with these at 250fsb !! But the "trwt" (2) is so tight that if i go any higher i have to bump it to 3.

The drive strenght is at 8 btw

you can loosen a bunch of timings that would give you a bunch more headroom w/ little to no performance decrease:

 

DRAM Frequency Set - 200=RAM/FSB:1/1

Command Per Clock (CPC) - Enable

CAS Latency Control (Tcl) - 3.0

RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) - 03 Bus Clocks

Min RAS# active time (Tras) - 08 Bus Clocks

Row precharge time (Trp) - 02 Bus Clocks

Row Cycle time (Trc) - 12 Bus Clocks

Row refresh cyc time (Trfc) - 16 Bus Clocks

Row to Row delay (Trrd) - 02 Bus Clocks

Write recovery time (Twr) - 02 Bus Clocks

Write to Read delay (Twtr) - 02 Bus Clocks

Read to Write delay (Trwt) - 03 Bus Clocks

Refresh Period (Tref) - 3120 Cycles

Write CAS Latency (Twcl) - Auto

DRAM Bank Interleave - Enabled

 

DQS Skew Control - Auto

DQS Skew Value - 0

DRAM Drive Strength - Level 7

DRAM Data Drive Strength - Level 3

Max Async Latency - 8.0 Nano Seconds

DRAM Response Time - Normal

Read Preamble Time - 6.0 Nano Seconds

IdleCycle Limit - 256 Cycles

Dynamic Counter - Disable

R/W Queue Bypass - 16 x

Bypass Max - 04 x

32 Byte Granularity - Disable(4 Bursts)

i see... OK ill try with those

Oh , btw what would be the difference between the nf4 sata ports & sil sata ports ?

Could it be that my sata drives would work more stable on the sil ports :confused:

if the nf4 ports are 3gb/s & sil 1.5gb/s , it should be more stable am i right ?

[Guest caffeinejunkie]

Well if you have SATA2 drives make sure to use the nvidia. You dont want to bottleneck them.

[alajarvi84]

But i have sata hdd:s. Could the drives work more stable on the sil ports ?

Oh and the sata spread spectrum slows the drives down a bit too am i right ??

I like using the nVidia ports, it lets me use my SATA HD's in the XP setup without having to load drivers off of a floppy . I don't have a SiI chip on my board so I kind of have to use them but they work really well I think.
