What are my real timings?

metalmackey · 25 Mar 2008 at 22:32

Hi all

After setting up my new RAM manually in my BIOS (5-4-4-15 2T), both CPUZ and Everest are reporting them at 6-6-6-18. Are they both wrong or is it just that the mobo isnt reporting the correct timings or is the RAM indeed at 6-6-6-18? The mem is OCZ 4gb(2x2gb) sli ready pc6400 cas5

Thanks

Had issue like that before on same Mobo, think it was glitch at that certain clock I had set, cant remember 100%.

So would you say its at 5-4-4?

metalmackey · 26 Mar 2008 at 13:12

Looks like no one has a clue LOL. If I set the timings in bios to AUTO, CPUZ still says 6-6-6-18 but memtest has errors and windows crashes with a hardware failure error. Set to 5-4-4-15 in bios makes everything stable but still CPUZ says 6-6-6-18

I think I only had it at certain clocks, it may even have been on the Striker II not (as I said I cant remember).

I just moved above that clock and it was fine.

Do you have the latest motherboard BIOS?

metalmackey · 26 Mar 2008 at 15:21

Yeah 1503.

helmutcheese · 26 Mar 2008 at 16:25

1503 is a POS, it will not remember Settings inc FSB/RAM and possibly Timings, it does remember Voltages etc.

I was one of lucky ones that could overclock on it when I flashed but after I was done gaming I set back to stock (no need for 4GHZ for surfing) then next time I tried to OC I couldnt, it reset to stock every reboot thats FSB 1333 and Memory 800mhz.

This is all over the Asus Forums and you can sort it with Bios 1504.

Got a link to 1504? I cant see it on the Asus site, just up to 1603.

Thanks

Was that you that grabbed from me there ? as I seen 2 IP's (so I can close fileserver).

metalmackey · 26 Mar 2008 at 17:07

Cheers mate, yeah I meant 1503. Is 1504 stable?

helmutcheese · 26 Mar 2008 at 17:09

Yes at least it aint broken and remembers settings, I dont have much choice as I need newer ones for E8500 after getting rid of Striker II POS.

Even the NIC works after Sleep/Hybrid Sleep (that was another bug before on many Asus Mobos)

Thank you so much helmutcheese

Now my RAM is at 5-4-4-15 and all seems stable so far.

Want me to kiss your feet?

helmutcheese · 26 Mar 2008 at 21:43

Naa, your alright.

On the other hand, are you any good on the "Skin Flute" ?

metalmackey · 26 Mar 2008 at 21:46
