Strange... my MEM can hit [email protected] but cant do it at 3-4-4-

[Guest shaolin95]

Hi!

I was trying to test different timings and wanted to boot into windows at 3-4-4-8 in order to try the following timing, 3-2-3-10 but guess what, my PC crashed at 3-4-4-8 and 278FSB wich is the same speed that I normally run a much more agressive 2.5-3-3-7! Any ideas why? All changes were done in BIOS.

Regards

i remember the nf2 chipsets didnt like cas3 very much. many boards wouldnt even boot with cas3. i know its kinda odd that something can be too slow to boot but i guess a chipset thats tuned for low timings could have a problem with that. im thinking the nf3 chipset might have the same issue. never owned a board with one so im not sure, but its a good start

If you want to test timings @ 3-2-3-10 set them to that in the bios. Don't dick around with windows overclocking programs.

 

Even better, grab a bios with memtest86+ built in and let it do a few loops of the ram at those timings. 1 complete pass is pretty stable, while naturally more are better
