floydenheimer Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 No one has been able to help me with this issue so far, maybe you guys can! My problem is that games will start to run like they're in fast forward after a random amount of time. I previously thought it was my motherboard, an MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI, but I have the NF4 LP Ultra-D now and it's doing the same thing. Here's the full specs on my pc: Athlon X2 4400+ DFI NF4 LP Ultra-D 2x Mushkin XP3200 512MB eVGA Geforce 6800GT AeroCool Turbine Power 550W psu 1x Raptor 36gb 2x Hitachi T7K250 in RAID-0 I have a Koolance Exos-2 setup cooling my cpu, video card and northbridge currently; temps are all fine. Any insight is appreciated, thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumbertot Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 by the sounds of it i would hazard a guess at gfx card drivers.uninstall them, use a cleaner then re-install them and hopefully will be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 You mean like the FPS is to high? Ya, I have that problem too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumbertot Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 You mean like the FPS is to high? Ya, I have that problem too 003 whats with tRAS @3? going below 5 isnt doing nothing with those settings. For DDR, Tras should be CL + Trcd + burst length / 2.(time the row has to be kept open for the memory access to happen, divided by 2 since it's DDR). Burst length has to be 2 at least for DDR (1 clock wait each for rise and fall). So for a 2-2-2 memory, that's 2 + 2 + (2/2) = 5. That's as low as you can go, without memory errors or buffering on the memory controller. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyis300 Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I have the same cpu as you and the same problem..It normaly only happnes when i am over 240mhz...I have that issuse till i restart. The other problem is at anything over 240 my games will eitehr run to fast and then freeze, or the more common is they lock up and i have to hit the cases reset. If your o/c make sure you put your LDT voltage to 1.5, thats only way i got stable at 240mhz.. I think its a bios/driver issue when o/c but not sure yet..Need more time to work on it..

floydenheimer Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Everything is at stock. RAM is running at 2-3-2-6. I'm guessing that it has to do with X2 support myself. I've heard that cool n quiet can cause it as well, but I have that disabled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have 1.5 CAS, so that would be 4.5, correct? yes if that setting were available.lol that would add fuel to the cas 1.5 doesnt exist fire.need to contact a64 twekaer designer, see if that can be implemented into next build.

Fire-N-Ice Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Lower doesn't always mean better, keep this in mind. Benchmark comparisons on my ram has proven that a tras of 9 is better than 5,6,7, or 8. I know each type of ram will be different, and my ram isn't all that great, but test each way and find out. Don't assume lower is better.

pacmaann2 Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 i dunno if this might help or if im an idiot but have you tried running your games with high priority. I had a computer that would lag like . if i didnt put it on high Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't assume lower is better. nobody said lower is better though would expect tRAS 8 to be your ideal setting. but agree test each one, in fact setting tRAS then checking bandwidth in memtest is quickest method.
