Memory Timings Explained W/ Suggested Timings & Memset VS. BIOS

[Lsdmeasap]

Ya, it is the FSB Speed that is limiting the tRD

Oh well, I'll just have to use this settings then. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my A-DATA doing all this with 1.94V.

[Lsdmeasap]

Ya, that is pretty good for A-Data. Is it rated to 2.1V or not? If so you may be able to push things, but of course that is all up to you and your thoughts about warranties

[morph]

Yeah, it's 2.1V but I've never pushed it over 2.0V. It's pretty hot when testing @2V. Maybe when (if) I'll change my MB for a UD3P (and also change my 6-7 years old case) I'll try to go higher freq (or lower timings). Until then there's no point of trying.

Maby a tutorial for X58 + DDR3 would be nice

If all memory settings are made manually, there would be no difference setting 2B or 2C, would there?

Yes, and no. There is a big difference between the NB timings using C and B

But to answer you directly, no as there is no 2.00C setting, so are you confused about something? I can help if you are, let me know.

Here are the straps and their associated memory multipliers >>

[Capt Proton]

Sorry, a typo. I meant 2D. So, you are telling me that the strap affects more than just the memory timings. To be clear, I am saying that all memory settings are done manually, and there is no change to the FSB. The only change would be selecting 2B instead of 2D.

[Lsdmeasap]

Ahh, ok. Yes, the strap changes the northbridge internal Speeds and timings not the memory timings.

There is a difference but the amount depends on what all your other settings are. Here is some quick tests I did on just this type of thing for a user a week or so ago. >>>

Great explain about timings. Thanks :)

Just wondering, will it be the same for DDR3?
