gotdamojo06 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 How do you find out what your memory Timmings are set at...Im a n00b when it comes to memory, dont know that much about it, i need to learn more about it... Also is there a way you could find out what brand of stick it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 load CPU-Z, check the memory tab For the brand of the sticks, check the SPD tab and select which banks you have the mem in and it should tell you everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwinC Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Check out PC Wizard. It informs you of every thing on your computer. CPU, Temp, HDD, and Overclocking info for memory like timing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 On the SPD tab it says for slots 1 and 2 are DDR module size: 512 MB Max bandwidth PC2300 (142MHz) Manufacturer: Apacer Technology -Timings Table- Frequency 133 142 CAS Latency 2.0 2.5 RAS to CAS 3 3 RAS Precharge 3 3 Tras 6 7 on the memory tab... Frequency 110.0 FSB:DRAM CPU/22 CAS Latency 2.0 clocks RAS to CAS 2 clocks Cycle Time 5 clocks Bank Cycle time 7 clocks command Rate 2T DRAM idle Timer 16 clocks So i would report it as being PC3200 w/ 2-2-5-7-2T correct?

firky Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 thought pc3200 was 400mhz = 200mhz in CPu'z but yeah its 2-2-5-7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Those are the screenshots of my cpu-z for the memory timmings and thank you guys for the help of understanding how you label the timmings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 then thats not DDR400. It's PC2300, whereas DDR400 = PC3200. That is DDR284 to be exact, so you will need to overclock those bad boys to get to DDR400. It's running at DDR220 right now, which is MIGHTY slow! 2-2-5-7-2T is also REALLY slow for those speeds, it shouldn't be running 2T anyways. Try setting 2.5-4-4-8 and boot at DDR400 and see what happens. can you post a screenshot of the mem tab as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 yeah, I thought that one of them was the mem tab...sorry Also I have a divider set, i dont remember what it is...but someone told me to set it, so i did... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Find a copy of "EVEREST Home Edition", that program is the BOMB for finding out any information on any piece of hardware you have installed... (they no longer have it on there website though, so you'll have to search for it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 ok, you are running 2-2-2-5-2T right now, at 110MHz. That sucks basically! Try as I said, use 2.5-4-4-8 and try to boot at 200MHz (DDR400) and see what it does. In worst of all cases, do a CMOS reset. If that works fine, you can also try 2.5-3-3-7, but I doubt mem specified for 142MHz will run 200MHz with 2.5-3-3-7. Worth a try however... Ohh, and be sure to set it to 1T, CPC Enabled or w/e its called in the Neo 2 Platinum BIOS!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) yeah, I thought that one of them was the mem tab...sorry Also I have a divider set, i dont remember what it is...but someone told me to set it, so i did... If that is right, then Ouch! Memory bandwidth is going to be pretty low running at 110mhz. You must be running the 100 divider (i.e. running the Mem at half the HTT speed.. which would be 220mhz. 220*11= 2420 = cpu speed) What I would probably do would be to set the memory at some pretty relaxed timings (say 3-4-4-8 or higher even) and see how high it will go (use the clockgen method if you want. Up the divider a little [use the 133 divider] and knock the CPU multi down a bit.. then ramp up the memory using clockgen until you get a hard lockup) If you can get your RAM up to 200mhz then you can start trying to tighten up the timings a bit.

gotdamojo06 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 what are the settings at in the BIOS? under the DRAM tab (or what ever its called) is it frequency, CAS Lat., RAS to CAT, RAS Pre, Tras, Trc, and Command Rate? Im really new to the messing around with the memory...that would explain why it seems that my computer is running slower... so is this the program that I should download? http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html Also I had just downloaded clockgen so I dont know the commands on the program that well yet...I will mess with this stuff later tonight, I still have to go to my Chem 121 class at 6:00pm - 6:50pm so I need to do the homework...but I hope that all of this is going to make some sort of a differentce in the speed of my computer...
