latency timings not as advertised??

[paniK]

hey all,

running the Geil Ultra DDR2 1GB ultra low latency ram and cpuz tells me that my latency timing are 5 5 5 18 when they are advertised on ocuk and everywhere else at 4 4 4 12. am i missing something or are my timings just messed up?

On a Gigabyte motherboard you need to set these manually.

You press CTRL + F1 on the main BIOS page to access the advanced Motherboard Features.

The option to change your memory timings will apear as if by magic. Set these to 4-4-4-12.
It didnt work for me properly with the DS3. Had to set them manually. Same as setting the Ram Voltage to +0.3

right thanks for that mate. will i need to alter my vdimm too or just leave it as it is? also will this cause the system to become unstable?

If the RAM's running at 800mhz you will need to raise the vdimm to 2.1v (+3).
