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

[inforcer]

inforcer can you try another cpu? That 955BE has the dual channel memory controller on it. You may have a defective memory controller.
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Processor Introduction :: TweakTown

that's what i'm afraid of...

inforcer there is a later bios to flash to scroll down on this url.---->
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - BIOS - GA-MA790XT-UD4P (rev. 1.0)

the stock bios wont detect the 955BE correctly.
then i flash the bios to the latest F5, problem solved, now windows 7 ultimate 64 can detect the 955BE correctly.

i notice the description said :
F6 (2009/09/16) Update CPU ID (Support AGESA 3.5.3.1 code / AM3 C3 CPU)
F5 (2009/08/06) Update CPU ID(AGESA 3.5.3.0 for PhenomII /AthlonII AM3 CPU)

Warning:
Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

so... does that mean, i should stick with F5 and try to find the timings/settings for the 2x2GB kit, or flash to the latest F6 ?

I would flash to the latest bios using the QFLASH utility your board came with. Be sure to set your bios to Load optimized defaults first though. Here is a great tutorial for Flashing a bios on all the latest Gigabyte boards. http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/bios...h-guide-27576/

If F5 supports a CPU, F6 also would support the same CPU

Memset problem or not ?

Try settings Static tRead Value manually for both channels, see if this changes it.

It was disabled in MemSet (Performance Enhance was blank) so it may be just a software bug that can be fixed, or it may be impossible for it to change it.

Try reporting the author of MemSet, if it's only a bug he may want to fix it.
