Vista Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 How hard can it be to find stable BIOS tunings for a board? How many settings are possible? What are the chances of randomly encountering the perfect settings? This table is for the 310 BIOS: Well, it seems your chances are very slim to none. Just the top DRAM settings alone give you over a trillion possibilities. This is why auto-gizmos like nTune don't have a chance, and why Oskar Wu loses sleep and has grey hairs.

Vista Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Ha that is fantastic did you make it or find it? I just whipped it up in Excel on my Dell while pondering the next BIOS setting attempt for stability on the DFI rig. I'm not 100% sure I got all the setting counts right, you have to include AUTO as a setting though to be honest. But within a few orders of magnitude, this is about right I think, even when you include the rest of the settings which are mostly binary. Feel free to correct my math, update for NF3, etc. LOL :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
