K9a platinum and ocz memory cas 4-5-4-15

Hi ,
I need help and i need it fast
I have k9a platinum and i want to buy this memory:
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800, 4-5-4-15,
Is it compatible with my mobo and do u have opinion about this ram?
Thanx

Well my OCZ RAM which is meant to run @ 800MHz 4-4-4-15 timings. Runs very fine @ 800MHz w/ 4-4-4-10. 4-4-4-10 works up until about 870MHz.
OCZ seem to state their timings lower then the RAM sticks can actually cope for some reason.
I'm pretty sure it'll work, but contact OCZ for a correct answer.
Also like Bas said: Sig should be updated

P45D3 Platinum and OCZ Memory problem

Hi
recently i was set up my new PC with the following parts:
MAINBOARD:P45D3 Platinum
CPU:Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz
MEMORY: OCZ OCZ313332GK 2x1GB PC10600 DDR III RAM (DDR-1333) Recommended by MSI.
HDD: SEAGATE BARRACUDA ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM
VGA: NVIDIA QUADRO FX 3400 256MB MEMORY
DVD: ASUS E818AT SATA
PSU:THERMALTAKE W0163 TOUGHPOWER 650W
the system running Windows XP Pro.
As you understand from the subject the Bios recognize the memory as 1066 GHz
and if i try to put the frequency to 1333 MHz the system can't start and freezes to a black screen.
I have made the upgrade of Bios to version v15 which according to MSI "Improve OCZ memory compatibility"
but nothing. >:(
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.

[Athlon64] MSI Diamond-D and OCZ memory compatibility

More imortant than the brand are the types of chips used.
Winbond Bh6 and -Ch5 overclock poor on a AMD64 system, or u need to set the vMem redicoulisly high.
With Samnsung and Micron chips u can get the same timings @normal voltages (2,7v).
Here is a list of chips, icw brands:
http://www.techpowerup.com/memdb/
Make sure u get Micron 5B G or Samsung TCCD chips !
Agree with Stick about the amount of memory. First of all: Windows XP (32bit) cannot adress more then 3 GB, furthermore, no way in the world u are gonna use that memory. Stick to 2GB which is more then enough, heck, 1GB is allready more then enough 99,9999% of the time.

K9A Platinum and Sata Harddrive

Hi,
I recently upgraded from a K8n to a K9A Platinum and unfortunately my SATA drives no longer show up in the "safely remove hardware" icon in the taskbar.
I thought this might be a Windows problem with old boarddrivers and all, so i did a clean reinstall. Still not there. (In the disk policies tab under the drives property the "write caching and safe removal" is grayed out and set to "optimise for performance", the only thing can select is "enable write caching on the disk". I have no idea if this makes any difference, I just thought I'd mention it!)
Does anyone know how I could get the Sata drives to show up in the taskbar again??
I mostly found people wanting to get rid of the Sata drives in the taskbar, so call me weird! I want them back!!!
Thanks for your help!

Is there anyone out there who can tell me why my "write caching and safe removal" policies under the harddrive properties is grayed out??
Thanks!!

K9A2 Platinum and 4 Memory Modules

Hey gang, the saga continues.
BIOS 1.2
With Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 RC and 4x DDR2-800 OCZ modules (see my signature) my system will POST but not boot properly (even in safe mode!) at either 3-4-4-15-2T-2.4V or at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V. It gets almost to the point where it wants to bring up the vista logo after loading all the drivers however then the screen resets to "no signal" and the system reboots from POST.
I removed 2 of the memory modules, leaving 2 in the slots closest to the CPU. At 3-4-4-15-2T-2.4V (which is what the memory is rated for) the ATI kernel driver gets a page fault during load, blue screen, memory dump. However at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V the system is stable. I expected 2 memory modules to work at the rated speed of the memory. I expected 4 memory modules to work at looser timings. I'll try 5-5-5-18-2T-2.4V with 4 modules just to see.
I'm getting 8GB/s throughput in Sandra XII at 5-5-5-15-2T-2.4V.
With BIOS P.0D I was getting 9.5GB/s at 5-5-5-18-2T-2.3V with the mushkin XP8500.
Maybe P.0D doesn't have the erratum in it, and tighter memory controller timings.
Oh and the Sandra disk benchmark test posted a RAID0 score of 140.5 MB/s throughput. WD360JD was 55 MB/s. I need to run a better benchmark though. I bought EVEREST Personal Ultimate, maybe it'll have something more useful in it. I can tell you the EVEREST benchmarks for memory performance on my system absolutely suck. They're pinning it around midrange in all the tests. :< I cannot run HDTach on this system because it doesn't recognize me as an Administrator (although I am one).
I have my final water cooling parts arriving on Wednesday - an inline temperature sensor which will hang right off the egress on the video card stack, for accurate CPU + video card heat levels on the liquid for the fan control.
At idle this system keeps the CPU at 99F temp, HD at 105F (I removed the front case fan, it would probably be cooler with it in there, but slightly noisier). Memory therefore is probably around 102F. I haven't gotten to stress testing yet because of the stability issues.
I also am trying Catalyst 8.1 beta to see if CrossFireX will work.
** At least the system is POSTing BOOTing **

AaronYuri: Using Vista Enterprise x64 SP1 RC, no fixes come up through Windows Update, I assume I have everything... point me to something that wouldn't be in the service pack RC?
Quad: So you think with an X2 CPU this wouldn't be a problem, but the Phenom is inferior?
Russ: I'm using fixed memory voltage as specified in the test. 2.4V and 2.1V. Both of which should have worked. Since I can do DDR2-800 2x 3-4-4-15-1T-2.4V stable (running Prime95 now...), I would expect to be able to do DDR2-533 5-5-5-18-2T-2.1V. Also this board originally posted with the memory at DDR2-1066 5-7-7-20-2T-2.4V so I know the memory isn't the issue.
One additional comment I would like to add to this discussion is that with all 4 memory modules loaded I can install the Vista operating system. It is only after I reboot, after the initial install, that it won't complete the boot cycle any longer. So the install boot works (which is probably a limited kernel?) but the real thing won't work.
As for DDR2-400 I might give it a try but I have to say if that's the only way I could do 4gb memory, I wouldn't do it.
Hello, I have the SAME sort of problems except with the K9A Platinum
Here is the fix/update they are talking about
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777/en-us
I have applied it and did not work for me. You are getting a BSOD likely. Boot to 2gb, go to System Settings under Control Panel. Click Advanced Setting on the left. Then click Settings button under Startup and recovery. UN-check automatically restart. You may then see the BSOD when you try booting with 4gb again.
I a using latest bios on my MSIK9A and I still cannot boot Windows to 4gb.
I have read thru all 20 pages here:
http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/showpost.aspx?postid=1292561&siteid=17&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=10
Even though I do not run 64bit, this still seems to be a very common problem with running 4gb on 32bit and 64bit. It is not just a Windows problem. I have read Linux has exhibited this as well.
I even did a clean install of Vista on a spare drive last night with only 2gb installed. I then updated all drivers in order and then applied MS Hotfix I linked to above. I shutdown, put in all 4gb and BAM!! same exact BSOD. I have tried setting timings to many different settings. I have tried all "suggested fixes" to no avail. All 4gb of Memory all passes memtest86 v1.7 scans. Ran 17 passes overnight and all passed.

K9A Platinum and 4GB DDR2-800

I'm a major MSI fan and have been for a long time. My computers (even my customer's) are MSI boards.
Recently, I upgraded my motherboard, ram and processor to the new AM2 core (ok, not really new, but w/e). I have the following items:
MSI K9A Platinum
4GB DDR2 800 (2x2GB) G.Skill 5-5-5-15
Athlon X2 5200+ Windsor 65w w/2x1MB cache
2x ATI Radeon x1650 256 DDR2 (Crossfire'd)
1x 200GB SATA2
1x 300GB SATA2
2x 500GB SATA2
My previous system had:
MSI K8N Neo-4F
4x 1GB Kingston DDR 400
Athlon X2 4800+
Ok. So heres my problem:
I installed each 2GB stick into slot 1 to verify they work and I got all 2GB. Shut down and installed each 2GB at each channel (DIMM1 and DIMM3) and BIOS reports 2544MB total. I look in BIOS and it says Physical Memory = 4096MB, Usable Memory = 2544MB. (This is before I even installed windows.) So, I tried to see if windows would report differently and after installing, it reported the same 2.48GB of ram. Now I know that Windows 32-bit can only go up to 3.2GB and I have no problem with that. My previous setup reported all 4GB of ram... so whats different about this board that it doesn't use all the memory available?
If this is an issue with the Processor, then let me know. I paid for 4GB, not 2.5GB. I expected at most 3.2GB.
And no. I won't go Vista. And Windows x64 has little to no support for a lot of what I do/have. So I won't use it either.
Thanks for your help in advance.

@ BOSSKILLER:
I've done the single and dual vga test. I even placed the ram in single channel mode and it did the same.
@ Bas:
Its default. I'll paste it here.

K9A Platinum and Random reset Sata Channel

Hi all!
This board reset the pc in random mode and loose the HD Sata in next restart.
I can only turn off the pc, turn on and enter to the bios for 2-3 seconds and then restart the pc.
This is the only way for restart the PC when the problem is introduced.
I have try to change HD with Seagate - WD and Maxtor but it is not served to nothing.
Please help me!
This is my configuration:
K9A Platinum - AMD Athlon 5200 X2 - 2x1.0GB DDR2 800MHz Kingstone - ATI X1950XTX 512MB - 1 HD SATA II 200GB - 1 HD EIDE 160GB -
Powersupply LCpower Arkangel 850W - Soundcard Audigy 2 under WindowsXP SP2

do you use system stock(default) parameters?
check system for overheating, provide PSU details.
test memory with Memtest86

Hi all,
Ok so I said I'd report back once all working and here i am (touches wood )
So my system is now Phenom less, I'm a bit gutted it's going back for RMA for refund. I have in the mean time replaced it with an x2 5000+ BE.
So just a recap on my spec
K9a2 Platinum
x2 5000+ BE Running stock 2.6Ghz
8GB OCZ DDR2 800 Platinum
2 x 3870x2 in crossfire X mode.
Windows Vista x64 OEM
This OS now installed no issues no BSOD for secondary clock interrupt. But i did have issues installing it on the Promise raid array. Though it was the old more than 2GB ram thing so did the install with one stick and then Patch vista install the other 6GB but no still got system rebooting after the progress bar 9 times out of 10.
So i have the HDDs on the standard SB600 sata ports as individual drives, installed x64 all 8GB still installed. Not knowing yet if it was driver related I let vista install all the drivers, the only other driver my system needed were the cat 8.3s and I only installed the graphics driver and CCC not the IDE or north bridge filter as the system is using vistas default drivers.
I have installed all updates and everything seems rock solid. (touches more wood!!) I have spent the last week relentlessly trying to get this OS installed, but hey I learnt a few things along the way..
Paul
But now it is and I have my 8GB and crossfire X I'm happy and when the good Phenoms arrive I'll get one but I'll read all the reviews on the web first....
Hi,
Right then resurecting an oldish thread, I have just purchased a Phenom 9750 and installed with the new 1.4 bios, and all is well. The same Vista x64 install is rock solid and damn quick now.
Buy the B3 Phenoms with confidence they (AMD) have pulled back some ground and in my case some confidence.

MSI K9A Platinum and VIA drivers issue? XP 0x0000007B stop error.

I get a Windows Stop error when trying to boot into Windows XP with new components. The SATA hard drive (and Windows XP installation) is from the old computer.
The new computer components are:
MB: MSI K9A Platinum, chipset: RD580 (North Bridge), SB600 (South Bridge)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+, boxed (the cooler and fan came with the CPU).
Video: MSI Radeon 1950 XTX
The old (and working) computer setup is:
OS: XP Professional
MB: Abit AV8-3rd Eye, chipset: VIA K8T800Pro + VT8237
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Video: Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro All-in-Wonder, videodriver: atidvag.dll version 6.14.10.6542
HD: Maxtor 6B200M0 SCSI Disk Device
BIOS: Phoenix 6.00PG 20.04.2005
System drivers with "via" in the name: VIAAGP1.SYS, viaide.sys, viasride.sys
VIA 4in1 (Hyperion) version: 4.55 (that can be found at HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Via4in1Driver).
VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver was used when installing this computer setup.
The precise stop error is:
0x0000007B (0xba4c3528, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
From many sites I have gathered that the error is related to Windows XP not being able to access a critical system drive. Most probably the SATA hard drive issue.
The problem probably is the VIA drivers of the old motherboard and/or the SATA driver.
First I should mention, that MSI K9A Platinum does not have a hard disk SATA driver. If it does, I have been unable to find one. Certainly no such floppy disk included, and no such driver in the MSI's Web page for this motherboard.
Second important point: I never used RAID. I did use VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver disk when installing Windows XP to the old computer.
Strange that the hard drive model is reported as a "SCSI Disk Device". It's not a SCSI drive however: it's a SATA disk.
I have tried to uninstal the motherboard chipset drivers (Hyperion v4.55), but there seems to be a bug here: the drivers should be uninstalled using the installation program, and select the uninstall option. However, I do not get the uninstallation option to choose at all! Yes, I'm using the normal installation mode, not the quick installation (although tried that, too). The Hyperion setup program just installs, and asks to reboot the computer. After rebooting and trying again, it still does not offer me an uninstallation choise.
I know how to install hard drive VIA SATA driver, but I have no idea how to uninstall it. And I'm afraid to do that without certainty that it IS the solution, since I could not access the hard drive any more in the old computer setup (and return to read this forum). Also, I do not have a floppy drive any more. Anyone know if there is an issue with K9A and XP having VIA SATA driver installed?
When I tried the new computer setup, I first tried the simplest possible hardware combination: there were no CD/DVD-drives, no (parallel)IDE hard drives, and no PCI cards, except the MSI video adapter.
My BIOS Setup experiments. None of these helped: got the same stop error each time.
1) I didn't much touch the BIOS setting first. Just tried to boot with the settings BIOS came with.
2) Next I disabled the integrated audio, LAN and IEE1394 devices and floppy drive and disabled all other choises except the SATA drive as a boot device.
3) Next I tried with the fail-safe BIOS defaults.
4) Cleared CMOS.
5) Changed OnChip SATA type from Native IDE to Legacy IDE. (Only one boot attempt with the setting as Legacy.)
6) Disabled PCI IDE BusMaster.
7) Never touched anything in the Cell Menu: so the settings are in minimum.
A step I have taken after the last attempt: run Windows XP hard drive error-checking tool to every logical drive with the fix option selected, and the system drive also with scan the bad sectors option selected.
My plans next are:
1) to install a newer Hyperion driver. If that would correct the no-unistallation-choice-bug,
2) to disable USB-devices in the BIOS (desperate),
3) to choose the Windows general video display driver (although I seriously doubt this is a display driver problem!).
4) to uninstall the Anti-Virus software (Avira Antivir).
I've read a numerous Web pages so far about the 0x0000007B stop error. Here are some links:
Quote
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/knowledge_base/
Stop 0x0000007B or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
This Stop message, also known as Stop 0x7B, indicates that Windows XP Professional lost access to the system volume or boot volume during the startup process. This error always occurs while the system is starting and is often caused by one of the following:
* Hardware problems
* Corrupted or incompatible storage drivers
* File system problems
* Boot sector viruses
* Outdated firmware
During I/O system initialization, this error can occur when:
* The controller or driver for the startup device (typically the hard disk) failed to initialize the necessary hardware.
* File system initialization failed because the system did not recognize the data on the boot device.

You receive a Stop 0x0000007B error after you move the Windows XP system disk to another computer
SYMPTOMS
After you move the Microsoft Windows XP system (boot) disk to a backup computer, you may receive the following Stop error when you try to start the Windows XP-based backup computer:
STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF741B84C,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
CAUSE
This error may occur if the registry entries and the drivers for the mass storage controller hardware in the backup computer are not installed in Windows XP.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this error, use the same hardware for the backup computer.
Heh, heh! Very nice Microsoft, but I plan to update my computer, so I NEED to use different components
Quote
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324103
Device Driver Issues
You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message in the following scenarios:
•   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.
•   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is corrupted.
•   Information in the Windows XP registry (information related to how the device drivers load during startup) is corrupted.
Hardware Issues
You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message if there is a resource conflict between the boot controller and another controller or between SCSI devices. You may also receive this Stop error message if drive translation is not being performed or if drive translation was changed. To troubleshoot this issue:
1.   If an IRQ or I/O port address conflict exists between the boot controller and another controller, Windows XP either stops responding (hangs) or displays a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message. If you recently added new hardware, remove the new hardware or reconfigure it so that it does not conflict with the resources of any other installed controllers.
2.   If you are using a SCSI hard disk, check the SCSI chain for correct termination. Remove any unused SCSI devices or make sure that each SCSI ID is unique.
3.   Make sure that drive translation is turned on (if it is required) and that it has not been changed. For example, if you recently switched controllers, this issue may occur.

SYMPTOMS
When you start your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer after you replace the motherboard on the computer, you may receive a Stop error message that is similar to the following:
STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE
CAUSE
This issue may occur if the new motherboard contains an embedded IDE controller that has a different chipset than the original motherboard.
RESOLUTION
Method 1: Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows XP [<- That means repair installation of Windows XP]
•   Do not use a repair or in-place upgrade if you suspect disk problems.
Method 2: Repartition and format your hard disk and reinstall Windows XP

Alright I got the situation over.

I did try all all the above, and none of them helped.
And by the way: after installing the new Hyperion (VIA chipset drivers), I was finally able to also uninstall. It also uninstalled the IDE SATA (I think) and PATA drivers.
But what I had to do, was to make a REPAIR installation of Windows XP.
So, I was wondering now afterwards: this is really, really silly. Why the hell we need to re-install Windows if we move the SYSTEM SATA drive to another computer? We don't have similar problem with parallel IDE drives. Whom should we thank here??
The issue is to insert the driver files and the information of the ide drivers Windows should use with the next boot. How can it be this difficult?
What you basically need is..
- the information about the new chipset's PCIIDE.SYS/[VENDOR_PROVIDED_FILE].SYS and ATAPIIDE.SYS inserted into the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase
- and the vendor's IDE drivers to the %SYSTEMROOT%/System32/drivers folder.
Maybe something else, I don't know. But the problem was, Windows didn't know how, or what drivers to use. That can't be so big problem you need to install the whole OS anew!

K9A Platinum and DualCoreCenter

Asi there anyone who is able to run this SW on Vista x64 Ultimate on K9A Platinum? I had downloaded version 2.0.1.3. Installed and trying to get it working. At this forum in section of Intel based MB I found it work when .NET 3.0 is installed, so I enabled funcionality of .NET 3.0 in Vistas and also turn of WMI over SNMP. I still have same error, but now it take longer time to recieve this error. No application screen appear just error message after some time (20 sec.) Program CoreCell MFC Application stopped working.

Why bother?
There are far better ways of controlling the board.
E.g. fan speed, just enable smartfan in the BIOS and never look at it again.
As for C&Q just enable minimal energy in Vista and be done with it too.
Anything else?

K9A platinum and USB power.

So, This Christmas I decided to give my HTPC a M-play 202 plus as a little nice extra feature.
It is a Display module with IR-receiver and remote, and it has the nice feature of Remote power-on. This of course achieved by routing the power-switch cable through it.
But, this of course requires that the M-play 202 has operating power in itself, through USB.
Now, I have 10 computers at home, including a few other MSI-boards, and while some of them do not by default provide USB-power when switched off, all of them either have BIOS-settings or a Motherboard jumperswitch for this. The K9A platinum has neither. The other motherboards that does not show settings for this all have power on USB as default.
So, What am I missing? Where is my USB-power when the computer are switched off?
I can solve this by changing the M-play 202 plus USB-cable from internal type to an external and simply route it through an powered USB2 hub. But this is a very ugly solution.
Anyway, just writing this in hopes that there is something obvious I am missing here that will solve this.
Best Regards

K9A platinum and RX3870/3850 Series Graphics Card

RX3870/3850 Series Graphics Card are capable of CrossFireX, K9A Platinum have just CrossFire. I plan too later upgrade to K9APlatinum plus that suld support ADM Spider achritecture. Question is if I will buy in this time two pcs RX3870 will they run at K9A Platinum CrossFire or isn't supported ? Thanks for answer I bought full HD resolution LCD and my present x1950 is not enought for this res. so I need to upgrade. Thanks

I'm quite happy I have so fast responce. It's very hard to find info about that. I learned to trust people at this forum beucase they help me to solve my problem with 4GB RAM. Nothing against you personally but did you seens this somwhere running or some test. Two pcs of H3870 will be quite expensive and I don't want to have than one pcs lie at shelf. Thanks

Well, from what I understood in your post you want to crossfire two 3870 in a K9A Platinum. That's possible because it is a crossfire board and running two 3870 is just normal crossfire.
Spider or crossfire X is the able to run three or four vgas in triple/quad crossfire. That's of course not supported by K9A Plat. You would need a K9A2 Platinum which supports Crossfire X and has the necessary four PCIE Graphic slots.

P35 Platinum and Patriot Memory DDR2 PC6400

Hello,
I've tried to adjust RAM Timings, RAM Voltage and RAM frequency manually on my P35 Platinum with BIOS 1.4. I had a reboot loop at CAS 4 so I've tried to put at 1000 MHZ ratio 2:3 after a clear CMOS. It's working.
Now my Patriot Memory is working at CAS 5 ratio 2:3 2,2V and 1000 MHz.
Should I carry on my "quest" to CAS 4 or are these settings good enough? I'm quite lost.....What should I have to do?
Does Patriot Memory owners experienced the same issue? Why can't they be set to CAS 4?
One more thing: After the Post, the Marvell Bios loads but find no hard disk on adapter 1. With Bios 1.1, there was no problem. Do you have any explanations?
Thanks

Hello Spikape,
please list full system specs and provide more information about the specific model/type of Patriot Memory you are using.

Can you try to be more specific about this? Was it an on-->off-->on-->boot cycle or did your system reboot multiple times?

Which BIOS version for K9A Platinum with 4GB memory / GeForce GT430 ?

I was running 1.4 with 2GB (2x1) Kingston memory and the GT430, everything OK.
Then I replaced memory with 4GB (2x2) Corsair memory and XP hung during startup ... changing voltage (1.9 to 2.1) & timings (4-4-4-12) didn't help, so I decided to flash to BIOS 1.9. Bad idea, the video card wasn't found anymore ... running 1.4 again now.
Anyone here with a K9A and similar setup and a BIOS > 1.4 ??

Yeah, I know the PSU isn't the best one around. But on the other hand so far it never caused problems ... I'll get a new one before trying to put in the Corsair 4GB memory.
But in this particular case the PSu is not the problem ; if the K9A board detects the GT430 with BIOS 1.4, but not with 1.8 and 1.9 it's not the PSU's fault, right ?
I read on another forum that someone had the same kind of problem with a K9A, BIOS 1.9 and a HD5870 videocard. He claims he got hold of a 1.10b1 BIOS that actually fixed the problem ...
Will try attached BIOS ...

This doesn't matter, it can explode in each moment in flames and to kill all other parts installed in your computer.
[if you are not around when this hapends, the fires can destroy your home place too..]
It's the matter of time this to hapends... This PSU is a time bomb like Q-TEC, Colorsit, Codegen, HiTech and other similar cheap no name junks..

This is known as AB1[listed as aka A1 in the prevision post],
the attached one is AB2[A2], aka 1.10b2[newer than 1.10b1] which fix and issue with Nvidia VGA mention,
[+ some other unknown vga patch from A1]
so it could helps for your case too

2*2gb OCZ Flex 9200 55515 2.1v
Gigabyte 3870
etc
I have a big problem overcloking my memorii over 1150 mhz . I need to set manualy tRD (Read Delay) some call it Transaction booster, some performance level.
The bios dosn't have this option !!!
I want to set manualy all this options :
tRFC , tRD , Write to precharge delay , Write to read delay (tWTR ) , tRRD , tRD_WR , tRTP , tREF . CR
Some of this setings are not in bios. What bios should i use ? or what can i do to have acces to manualy configure this ???

Hello,
note that the P35 Chipset natively supports only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 memory modules. From the point of view of the memory controller, DDR2-1066 is already overclocking.

One reason for inventing DDR3-RAM was to be able to reach higher frequencies. So you may have reached the limits here.

Have you tried using Memset to be able to tweak additional timings?
