Memory timings

rodo · 7 Apr 2008 at 09:22

I'm quite unfamiliar with memory timings. Currently on my IP35 I have not changed anything to do with memory timings. They should all be on default as I can't even find where they are in the bios.

I can see from CPU-Z my Corsair (4gb) PC2-6400 is at 5-5-5-18......

Is there anything to gain from changing them and does anyone know where they are on the IP35 bios?

Although this is a C2Q. Is 5-5-5-18 acceptable then? I don't know the boundaries of my RAM. Didn't have much luck finding the timings PC2-6400 CAS4 would do

Ah I see, Its described as PC2-6400 CAS 4. I may try and change it to 5-5-5-15 if I have the time but if 5-5-5-18 is fine then I may simply leave it like that as you say. 800MHZ RAM seems to be running like a beast anyway.

At q6600 @ 3GHZ the pc seems to load before windows slightly slower than it would normally load up for some reason. But once have logged into windows its fine. Bit unusual, possibly something to do with q6600 overclock as opposed to RAM since havent changed that

I tried that but I got a lovely blue screen greeting me when it came to login to windows sadly
