Crucial Ballistix Underclocked?

starmanwarz · 15 Sep 2007 at 21:38

I have 2x1Gb Ballistix 6400(800Mhz) and they are supposed to have 4-4-4-12 timings.Cpuz says 5-5-5-18.I searched in the bios and there is an option to change the timings manually(they are in auto mode now)but there are also some other options in the same page that I dont know what to change them to.Should I manually change the timings?And what about the other options?

Cool thanks!I didnt know I had to change memory voltage too.Why arent those settings at their highest values?I will start overclocking my Q6600 tommorow,will I have to mess again with timing settings and voltages?

Oh that makes sense,thanks a lot.I will change it now to 4-4-4-12 and 2.2V,will I have to change it again tommorow after I OC my Q6600?

Thanks for the replies Cob.I just tried to change the timings and voltage.First of all,the lowest value of the cycle time is 15,shouldnt it be 12?I changed it to 4-4-4-15,set the voltage at 2.2,saved the settings and then it wouldnt boot!I had to clear the CMOS.Have I done anything wrong?

Cob said:
Odd. Unless you mean the Refresh Cycle Time, which can be left on Auto.

These are the first 4 settings and how they should be set-

CAS latency Time - 4
RAS to CAS Delay - 4
RAS Precharge - 4
Precharge Delay - 12

Have you touched the CPU FSB yet?

Hmm,I had a look on cpuz before I messed with my ram,and the last one was cycle time,not precharge delay,so I changed the cycle time.Precharge delay isnt the 4th setting,its the 5th,the cycle time is 4th.I havent touched CPU fsb yet.

EDIT:Oops,you were right,Im such a noob lol.Just changed it to 4-4-4-12 at 2.2V and it booted fine.I get the same values at cpuz.Thanks once again

.My first "tweaking"attempt and I already messed it up lol.

Yep its like that.Just edited my previous post

Thanks for the tip.My OCing marathon will start tommorow and I have no clue where to start from lol.I have readed the sticky a few times,I have a general idea but the whole FSB/voltages/ratio and stuff are really confusing for a noob like me.

Cob you are a life saver

.Very interesting thread that is.God I love the Internet.
