Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 to 945P Platinum?

Hi, i have question.Is possible aplicate processor Q8400 to motherboard 945P platinum?I downloaded the newest BIOS file W7176IMS.230 for 945P platinum, but i didnt find cpu support.Thx a lot.

>>Posting Guide<<
Your specific processor does not appear on the CPU support list.
http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=1&prod_no=193#menu
Suggest you contact >>How to contact MSI.<< MSI technical to check if there is any intention to do this. I doubt that they would do any further work on a BIOS on a discontinued MB.

Intel 820 2.8 and 945p platinum

HI...
I tried to OC ( by increase the FSB) my PC from 2.8 to 3.2 or 3.4
But, I'm stuck at 3.0mhz...( fsb 215)
If I go under 3.0, the pc can not boot!
my spec

Yes that´s good.
You´ll need a quality PSU to get a stable powerdelivery.
Then don´t forget to set RAM voltage to 1.9v in bios and maybe increase cpu-voltage, depending on what OC you´re aming at.
Here´s a review. where you can read some about OC the D820 cpu;

Here´s a review, where you can get some info about OC that RAM;

A tips that you keep an eye on future coming bios-update, because it´looks like they are using an initial beta-bios today.

Overclocking a Core i7 920 with X58 Platinum: Advice needed!

Hello everyone,
Just got my Core i7 920 and I would like to see how far I can take it with the hardware that I have. Although I've read countless overclocking articles over the years (mainly on Tom's Hardware), this is actually going to be my first time doing it. So I guess this makes me a n00b....
So, here is my hardware setup:
CM Storm Scout Case
Intel Core i7 920
MSI X58 Platinum
Coolit Systems Domino CPU Water Cooling System
G.SKILL 6GB DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9-24
ASUS GeForce 9500GT Top
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad 750W
I've already tried fiddling around the BIOS and also tried the DIP switches on the MOBO (tried the 166 settings). At this point I'm guessing I'll have to turn off some options in the BIOS or something because CPU-Z is reporting different Core Speed, multiplier and QPI Link every 2 second.
For the record, I'm not necessarily trying to break 4Ghz with this overclock... just wanna take advantage of this 920 and the CoolIt Domino; anything stable between 3.2 and 3.8GHz and I'm happy

Depends on the type of blue screen you get.
The way I under stand it is if the errors end with 124 ie 0x0000124 this is most likely QPI related.
This is taken from the evga forums and I am only posting as a reference.. The Credit belongs to Freemortal at evga. Not everythign applies to the MSI boards but the important ones do.
This guide is an attempt to assemble as much info about the various i7 voltages you can change in the BIOS. I can't do it alone though. This community has a wealth of information on the subject. Please post what you know and I'll add it to the first post here. Please make it as concise as possible.
If you believe any of this information to be inaccurate, let me know.
NOTE: This guide is applies specifically to the "EVGA X58 SLI" motherboard released in 2008. Most of this info also applies to other X58 motherboards as well but some labels and tolerances may be different depending on the make. This guide assumes you use a high quality, after-market heatsink and fan. Do not raise voltages with the stock cooler!
THE VOLTAGES
Caution: The voltage you set is not necessarily the voltage you get. Furthermore the voltage you read is not necessarily accurate either. The Eleet utility (along with any other software monitoring utility) will simply report what the motherboard tells it to report. When measured independently, these readings are close, but not entirely accurate.
VCore (default: 1.28125v, Intel's max 1.375v, VCore over 1.50v on air cooling is risky)
What it does:
Sets max voltage to the CPU cores. (if Vdroop is disabled, it will set the min voltage instead) The i7 doesn't need much voltage at speeds under 3.8ghz. (For example, I can get 3.8ghz on 1.275 vcore) Beyond that the voltage requirements climb sharply.
When to raise VCore:
* BSOD 101 "Clock Interrupt not received from Secondary Processor"
* LinX produces errors that are very
* LinX errors happen within 1 min of LinX
* LinX produces BSOD within the first minute
You know VCore is too high when:
* CPU cores approach a peak of 85c on full load
* It is unknown how higher voltages may impact the life of the CPU
CPU VTT Voltage (default: 1.1V (+0mV in BIOS) Intel's max 1.35 (+250mV)
What it does:
VTT connects the cores with the memory. Raising VTT helps keep a system stable at higher QPI rate. Since QPI is calculated from bclk: the higher the bclk the more VTT voltage you will need. VTT is also called "QPI/DRAM Core" on other motherboards,
Prevent CPU damage: VTT voltage must be within 0.5V of VDimm. Vdimm can fluctuate by as much as 0.05V from settings so you may want VTT within 0.45V of VDimm for that extra margin of safety. Example: if Vdimm is 1.65V, then VTT must be at least 1.20V.
When to raise CPU VTT Voltage:
* BSOD 124 "general hardware failure"
* LinX errors happen only after 10 min or more
* LinX hangs but does not BSOD
* LinX reboots without BSOD
You know CPU VTT Voltage is too high when:
* Most users try and stay below 1.45V (+350V) for 24/7 use without additional direct cooling.
* The motherboard doesn't read the temp so you may need an IR thermometer to be sure you are not pushing VTT too far.
CPU PLL VCore (default: 1.800V, spec range: 1.65V-1.89V)
What it does:
Keeps CPU clock in-sync with bclk.
When to raise CPU PLL VCore:
* May help with stability while increasing the bclk or CPU multiplier.(or may make it worse)
* May help with stability past 210 bclk if you observe that during runtime the QPI Link (found in E-Leet) bounces too much.
* Not a commonly raised. May actually cause instability. Test this variable alone.
You know CPU PLL VCore s too high when:
* Its possible you could actually gain stability by lowering this.
DIMM Voltage (default: 1.5V, Intel's max 1.65)
What it does:
Voltage to the RAM. Despite Intel's warnings, you can raise voltage beyond 1.65 as long as it is always within 0.5V of VTT (as described above).
When to raise DIMM Voltage :
* High performance/gaming RAM usually requires at least 1.65v to run at spec. Some manage to get it slightly lower.
* Stable bclks over 180 often require VDIMM beyond 1.65V. Remember to keep VTT voltage within 0.5V of VDIMM.
You know DIMM Voltage is too high when:
* Memory is too hot. [more info on this is needed]
DIMM DQ Vref (default: +0mV)
What it does:
It is the reference voltage for a pseudo-differential transmission line. The DQ signals sent by the memory controller on the i7 should swing between logic-hi and logic-lo voltages centered around VREF. VREF is typically half way between the drain and source voltages on the RAM. Most VREF generator circuits are designed to center between the VDD and VSS voltages on the RAM. There is usually temperature compensation built into the circuitry as well.
When to raise DIMM DQ Vref:
* Vref might be adjusted if (after measurement) it was determined not to be properly centered between VDD and VSS of the DIMM. Without a good osciloscope it's difficult to imagine that most users could set VREF correctly. They may be able to set VREF empirically by moving it up or down and checking for POST or BSOD problems.
Further reading:
http://download.micron.com/pdf/technotes/ddr2/TN4723.pdf The document is for DDR2 but differential signaling is a topic that transcends memory models. It has been done for decades in high-end systems and the advantages/drawbacks are well understood.
QPI PLL VCore (default: 1.1v, <1.4v is pretty safe)
What it does:
Keeps on-chip memory controller in-sync with bclk.
When to raise QPI PLL VCore:
* Try raising this along with Vcore and VTT, but in smaller increments.
* Helps stabilize higher CPU Uncore frequencies and QPI frequencies (in CPU feature)
* Try raising this when you increase memory clock speed via multiplier.
* Try raising when LinX produces errors after a few minutes without BSOD
IOH Vcore (default: 1.1V)
What it does:
Sets voltage for on-chip north bridge which connects PCIE2.0, GPU, Memory, and CPU.
When to raise IOH VCore:
* Possibly needed if you overclock your north bridge (via bclk and CPU Uncore freq.)
You know IOH VCore is too high when:
* Memory errors? (just a guess)
* GPU intensive apps like 3dmark vantage crash. (another guess)
IOH/ICH I/O Voltage (default: 1.5V)
What it does:
some sort of on-chip bus voltage. unknown
ICH Vcore (default: 1.05V)
What it does:
South Bridge chip on the motherboard. Connects all motherboard features, cards (not PCIE2.0), and drives to CPU/memory on IOH
When to raise ICH Vcore:
* I don't know if raising this can help in overclocking at all. Possibly necessary in order to keep up with an overclocked northbridge?
You know ICH Vcore is too high when:
* unknown. I wouldn't overvolt it too much though.
PWM Frequency (default: 800)
What it does:
unknown
When to raise PWM Frequency:
* Overclocking beyond 4.2ghz
You know PWM Frequency is too high when:
* VREG approaches 85c
VDroop (default: enabled)
What it does:
Safety feature designed by Intel to protect the chip from excessive wear from voltage spikes. Enabling VDroop keeps actual voltage running below the VCore setting in BIOS
What does disabling VDroop do?
* Makes VCore setting the minimum value for actual voltage; CPU will run at higher voltages than what you set in BIOS.
* Disabling VDroop is the same as enabling Load Line Calibration on other x58 boards.
Why would I want to disable VDroop?
* Some overclockers use it because it allows them to get a high overclock while setting lower VCore in BIOS. This is because the running voltage is actually higher than what was set in BIOS. Disabling VDroop keeps actual voltage higher than what is set for VCore in the BIOS. Enabling Vdroop keeps actual voltage lower than VCore.
* It might help if you are pushing the bleeding edge.
Diagnosing errors. What to do when...
BSODs
* BSOD "IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL" (I forget)
* BSOD 101 "Clock Interrupt not received from Secondary Processor" Try raising VCore
* BSOD 124 "general hardware failure" Try raising VTT
LinX Errors
If you get an error you would have x same (correct) results and 1 different (an error):
* If the incorrect result differs slightly from the rest (numbers very close, same powers in Residual & Residual (norm)) it is most likely that there's not enough vcore. In this case only a small vcore bump is usually needed to stabilize the system (alternatively, Vtt & GTL tweaking can sometimes fix this too)
* If the wrong result differs much from the others (different power or even positive power in Residual or Residual (norm)) it might be 1) insufficient vcore (the error would happen at the very first runs then) or 2) some memory / NB instability (when it worked for say 10 minutes ok and then produced a different result)
More serious LinX errors:
* BSOD during testing (at the very first runs) is often caused by too low vcore
* System hangs and remains hung it is almost 100% not a CPU but memory or possibly NB issue
* System reboots (with no hang prior to reboot and no BSOD) - a CPU issue, but not vcore related (insufficient PLL or Vtt I guess)
* System hangs for a short while and then BSODs - once again NB or memory problem (but might be wrong Vtt / GTL setting as well)
* System hangs and then just reboots - wrong Vtt (too low or too high) or GTL settings

Core 2 Quad Q8400 Problem (P6N SLI Platinum) [FIXED]

Hello, I recently bought an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 with the understanding that my P6N SLI Platinum will support Yorkfield cores, given I have the latest BIOS. I updated my BIOS to 1.6, yet it just hangs on the MSI screen and will not POST. I just want to know if I indeed do have the latest BIOS, and if so, if there's anything I or MSI can do to remedy this problem. I really don't have enough money for a new mobo or CPU, and I'm going to be extremely irritated if I just wasted $170 on this... Thanks in advance.

I'm here for help and complain, no msi is not supposed to know what will be intel releases, but i think they can fix the problem by releasing a new bios or simply put on the boxes models when writing that it support this or that technology
if you searched a little on msi.com you would have ended up here:
www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1140&maincat_no=1
here it says what CPU 's the board can run.
so MSI does say, what you can use, but it doesnt say on the box, cause it changes all the time, so they keep an online list.
and no, they cant write a new BIOS, its a chipset limitation from the NVIDIA chipset that cant be overcome by BIOS update unfortunatly.
I would go for a cheap P45 board, they can almost run all s775 CPU's and its newer then the P6N.

P6N SLI Platinum & Intel-Core 2 QuadQ8300

does the P6N SLI Platinum support the Intel-Core 2 QuadQ8300 cpu ?

Nope, the P6N plat will not support Yorkfield quadcores e.g. the Q8xxx and Q9xxx, only Wolfdale dualcores, e.g. E7xxx and E8xxx and even then, sometimes, you have to send in the board to get parts added to support those dualcores.
Its free of service though, you only pay postage/shipping.
It will support older quads like the Q6xxx range, if you can still get one that is.

P6N SLI Planitinum & Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield

I just bought my new Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield cpu and after installing it, my PC would not boot. I oput my old cpu (Intel Core 2 Duo) and it booted fine.
After some search I found out that P6N doesn't support Q9550 Yorkfield (unfortunately).
Is there a way to make my new cpu work or is my only way is to buy a new mobo (keeping my new cpu)?
My PC specs:
- Windows Vista 32-bit SP1
- GeForce GTX 260 896MB
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz (new: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield)
- 8GB RAM total (even though only 6GB is showing)
- MSI P6N SLI Platinum
- Antec 900 case

then I guess I'll buy a new mobo (and I make sure it's not MSI).
Well, then you need to make sure that your new mainboard does not come with an NVIDIA 650i Chipset which is used on the P6N SLI Platinum. This chipset does not suppport 45nm Quad Core Processor, no matter what manufacturer. Here is the CPU Support List for an Asus P5N-E SLI for comparison, which uses the same Chipset as the P6N SLI Platinum:
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5N-E%20SLI&product=1
Do you see any Q9xx0 Processors in the list? Exactly, they are not supported, because the chipset is not up to the task.
Quote
This is really messed up.
Sorry to say, but when you are building your own system, it is your responsability to make sure the parts you want to use are supported. It is not like the CPU Support Lists are a secret. Like Daloona said:

always read what is supported before you buy stuff.

P35 Platinum/Q6600 Intel Core runs HOT! (I think)

Hi,
I Just bought and assembled:
2GB Corsair DDR2 pc6400/800mhz
700x Toughpower Thermaltake 700w PSU
MSI P-35 Platinum MainBoard / Intel Chipset
Intel CoreDuo2 Quad Q6600 CPU (2.4)
Nvidia 8600GT 512MB / DDR2 GPU (Pci-ex16)
CM 690 Coolermaster Mid ATX Chassis (Case)
WINXP (Service Pack2)
Three120mm case fans (I think they are only connected to the PSU)
1)Raptor WD SataII 74 GB for apps and OS Hard drive
2) Western Digital SataII 500 GB Internal hard Drive for Storage
OK.
Now after putting everything together and it seemingly is working well, does anyone have any idea what the average Intel Core Duo2 Quad (Q6600) 2.4CPU Temperature should be running at? I have a MSI (Microstar P-35 Platinum Mobo) that came with DualCoreCenter Utility to monitor temp, system temps and
settings in the Bios.
I went to the BIOS and noticed that the CPU Temp was running at 61 c / 141 f ! That sounds pretty high to me. The System Temp was 29 0 / 84 f.
The Fan speed was1775 RPMS. Which one? It did not say,but I do have a front case 120mm,and a rear 120mm fan, and a 120mm side case fan, ad they are working.
In Bios, the System Fan #3 and #4 is Disabled. Could that be that my friend hooked up the Fans directly to the Power supply and not split them to the mainboard?
Is there website on Normal operating temperatures for the INTEL Processors?
If anyone has the MSI P-35 Platinum Mainboard, and has installed the DuoCoreCenter utility, How do you change the temp settings for the Fans and the CPU? I've seen the DOT Utility to change the OC settings,but I do not want to OC.
I installed the DualCoreCenter Temp monitoring software from the P-35 MSI (Micro-Star) Mobo Utility Disc and I also downloaded yet another software >CORETEMP (v0.96) software to see what B gwan'on, and it shows that all four Cores are listed,
frequency is 2402.43 MHZ,
Platform is LGA 775,
VID is 1.2375v
and the following temps:
Tj.Max - 212 F 100C
CORE #O 142 F / 60C
CORE #1 138 F / 59C
CORE #2 126 F / 52C
CORE #3 124 F / 51C
INTEL CoreDuo2 Q6600 2.4 Kentsfield Quad The Stock Q6600 CPU heatsink Fan that came with the CPU only had three strips of adhesive on the bottom. I'm sure when I seated the CPU/HSF they were tight! Can I still try to tightned the posts without removing the HSF? or get a better Fan along with that ArdticSilver 5 Thermal paste?
Thanks again!

Hi you all! :ohyeah:
OK.
Now after putting everything together and it seemingly is working well, does anyone have any idea what the average Intel Core Duo2 Quad (Q6600) 2.4CPU / Revision G0 / I have a MSI (Microstar P-35 Platinum Mobo) that came with DualCoreCenter Utility to monitor temp, fans,GPU, system temps.
I went to the BIOS and noticed that the CPU Temp was running at 61 c / 141 f !That sounds pretty high to me. The System Temp was 29 0 / 84 f. The TjMAX is @ 212F.
The Fan speed was 1775 RPMS. I do have a front case 80mm,and a rear 120mm fan, and a 120mm side case fan, ad they are working.
Is there website on Normal operating temperatures for the INTEL Processors? I went there but they pretty much say that's up to each individual, it's the liability I guess.
If anyone has the MSI P-35 Platinum Mainboard, and has installed the DuoCoreCenter utility, Do you pretty much set at default? I am not going to overclock.
I installed the DualCoreCenter Temp monitoring software from the MSI (Micro-Star) Mobo Utility Disc and I also downloaded CORETEMP (v0.96) software to see if it's mirrored or not.
frequency is 2402.43 MHZ,
Platform is LGA 775,
VID is 1.2375v
and the following temps:
Tj.Max - 212 F100C
CORE #O 142 F / 60C
CORE #1 138 F / 59C
CORE #2 126 F / 52C
CORE #3 124 F / 51C
INTEL CoreDuo2 Q6600 2.4 Kentsfield Quad
A few peeps told me that check to see if the Stock Intel Fan is seated..That the HSF or the CPU is not seated correctly and to remove and clean 91% alchol and apply Artic Silver5 thermal paster.
I looked at the leg pins and AhHa! One was loose, I tightened it up and now it's a few degrees cooler. Do I want to go with the coolest I can get so long as it does not go past the 212F MAX?
I let the beast cool overnight and upon startup, I checked the Coretemp and it read the following >
CORE # 0 > 136 F
CORE # 1 > 133 F
CORE # 2 > 120 F
CORE # 3 > 120 F
Well, I could remove the piece of crap Intel HSF,clean off the contacts,re-apply the thermal compound and see if that works...OR remove (throw away) and replace with a new 3rd party HSF that sits on top of the board like the Intel does, OR remove the MoBo to install the HSF brackets,and find a heavy duty HSF, the paste,and put together.
I wish there would be a dependable,not too heavy, and not real expensive HSF I could place on top w/o removing the Mobo...lots of cabling,wires, cards,etc. to deal with.:ohmy:
Can anyone tell me what the highest temp possible to run without causing damage to the CPU, and the GPU?
Does anyone feel these are still too high of temps? Do I DISABLE the Smart fan? Can I do anything to chnage the temp in the DUALCORE CENTER?
Thanks again!

How do I transfer contents of hard drive on PPC iMac G4 to a new quad-core Intel Core i5

         Although my PPC iMac G4 still works OK, I am beginning to realise the time has probably come to get a current model in order to keep up with all the advances that have happened since I bought it about 8 years ago: I will probably get the new quad-core Intel Core i5.
         As this will only be my second computer, I am wondering how I can transfer all the stuff on my hard drive onto a new computer and how easy it will be,given the apparently outdated connections on my G4 like USB 1,and possibly other things I don't know about.I am running 10.4.11.
          Any tips gratefully received.

As Allen indicates, Setup Assistant appears automatically, since you do have firewire, the transfer should be speedy, depending on how much data are on the G4. The firewire on your G4 is FW400, your new Mac has FW800, but you can get an inexensive adaptor that will allow the connection, since the ports are different.
You don't need an external now, but I strongly advise getting one, with a drive as large or larger than your new Mac, you should clone/back up frequently, I use SuperDuper! which will allow automatic backups.

Will the ram from a "macbook pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo" work in a "MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7"

I have a 2008? MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB ram. Can I use 2 GB ram from the old machine in a new MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7 ?
/bc

Very likely not.
RAM gets improved over time like everything else, so if the RAM is too old it won't be compatible with newer machines.
TO confirm, use Crucial.com and punch in each machine, then read the RAM requirements and specifications, if they match, then your good.
But I'm willing to bet they won't be beause of the age difference between the two machines.

Upgrade RAM yourself through macsales.com for $60. Use the remaining $140 of Apple's mmeory price and upgrade for $150 to hi-res (1680x1050) and anti-glare. I never regretted that upgrade on mine.
My humble opinion.
Sorry ... I just did the math and that puts you $10 out of pocket ...

2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 vs 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7

I can't decide which Mac Mini should buy, Mini with 2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 or the server version 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, of course I'll upgrade it with 8 GB memory and SSD drive.
So what are you guys thinking of 2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 or 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7?
cheers

my dilemma is if i go 2.7ghz i5 with 8gb of ram and the 750gb (7200rpd), after i buy the magic mouse and the keyboard, i'm already into $1367.00....
where as if i got a imac for $1399.00 i'm looking at a 2.5ghz i5 quad core with 8gb ram and a 500gb hard drive, with the amd graphic chip. plus i'm also getting a 21.5" led screen. where as with the mini i would have to hook it up to my existing monitor or even share it with my existing computer.
i love the look of the mini, but it is really hard for me to justify spending that much money having to buy all the "extra's", just have a working computer. when i can just pony up $32.00 more and get a whole sytem...
please help me to justify buying a mac mini.

P43 Neo3-FR + Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 freezing

Hi guys, I'm building a new comp
The specs are:
MSI P43 Neo3-FR
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400
4 x 2Gb Kingston KVR 800Mz HyperX DDR2
Coolermaster 550w PSU
Samsung Spinpoint 500Gb Hard Drive
LG DVD drive
Asus 8800GS graphics card
Windows 7 Home premium
The problem is it keeps freezing, when I try to reload the programme, when it loads to the desktop, at totally random times!!
It'll go on the internet fine then it'll freeze!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I've probably missed looods out

Yes I've done that and it was no different.
So I had a bit of a play with the RAM/Northbridge voltage settings, basically upping them a bit, it got a bit better i.e- it stayed on for longer 2 hours managed to download Mozilla, Avast and MSI Live update. Ran the MSI Live which said the BIOS was v1.3 and the online BIOS was v1.A0??
So closed it down last night with no probs, then tried it this morning and it froze. So I upped the aformentioned voltages and it eouldn't even boot. I tried various voltages with no joy, so I went back to what worked last night and, again, it was fine, until I tried to rate the computer in System properties. A box comes up with Running the Direct3D 9 Aero Assesment, at which point it gets about 1/20th along the bar and freezes. Re-boot it and it seems fine but try that and it goes.
These are the current figures:
MULTISPEED OC BOOSTER - DISABLED
D.O.T. CONTROL - DISABLED
INTEL C-STATE - DISABLED
ADJUST CPU FSB FREQUENCY - 200
ADJUSTED CPU Ratio - 9
ADJUSTED CPU FREQUENCY - 1800
FSB/DRAM Ratio - AUTO
CPU Voltage - Auto
DRAM Voltage - 1.848
VTT FSB Voltage - Auto
CAS -AUTO
tRCD - AUTO
tRD - AUTO
tRAS - AUTO
I downloade CPU-Z which gave me these figures for the RAM :
CAS LATENCY (CL)- 6 CLOCKS
tRCD - 6 CLOCKS
tRD - 6 CLOCKS
tRAS - 18 CLOCKS
tRFC - 52 CLOCKS
COMMAND RATIO 2T
So I take it when I was told to put the RAM timings to 6-6-6-18 its CL-tRCD-tRD-tRAS???????

Hi Zahid-I,
We support the Windows server system install on the certified hardware you can search ask your hardware vendor for exactly supported system or you can search the Windows Server
