How to change RAM from 2t to 1t on this motherboard?

Control+F1 on the main BIOS screen then select advanced chipset settings then memory timings.

Something along those lines if its anything similar to my board, it has a similar model number.

Just a guess, or as Teknobry says it might not be supported.

Thanks! Mate has just tried that, and found the setting and changed it.


Now, the weird thing is, although it is now saved at 1t in the bios, CPU-z is still reporting it as 2t? :confused:
 
It's command per clock, and 1T means more memory bandwidth.

However, Intel chipsets do no officially support it. Only 680i/650i do and some intel boards where the motherboard manufacturer has got it working some how.

It's the time (in CPU clock cycles) that the BIOS takes to determine which memory bank is in use.

If you only have one bank of RAM in use (one pair of sockets on a dual-channel setup) then you can run 1T because there is only one RAM bank that can possibly be used. When you have more than one RAM bank in use then the timing pretty much has to slip to 2T because the RAM has to look at each RAM bank to see if it has the rows and columns in the RAM where the required data is stored. It looks at the first bank on the first clock cycle then the second bank on the second clock cycle.

Once the correct bank is identified, the RAM can actually have it's memory (identified as a row&column reference) written or read.

Not all RAM is rated for 1T. And if you have 3 or more sticks of RAM in the system it pretty much has to run 2T.
 
Running 1T is more dependant on the motherboard in my experience. I had an EVGA 680i and it would not run 1T on my GSkill HZ. Changed to an Asus 680i (P5N32 E SLI ) and 1T worked fine. Recently swapped to Ballistix and again worked fine at 1T.

1T makes a big difference to memory performance.
