Hey Scunny, did you have problems running tRCD 9 with this board?

[ScunnyUK]

Hi George, I have all kinds of wierd problems with this board but it seems ok running with tRCD at 9

With my first board, the Rev B2 before I swapped out for this B3, it was ok running tRCD at 8 (6-8-6-24),on the 1:8 divider. Now though Im not sure if my chip and / or ram are degrading ( I have been taking it very easy on them , imc has never been above 1.35v ) or possibly need to go back to an older bios.

Have you been having problems with it George?

[George_o/c]

Yeap but I've tried everything and still can't run tRCD 9. I've tried Beta BIOSes, I've tried to much I/O (VTT) voltage, subtimings tweaking, everything! Maybe it's my RAMs, who knows?

Hmm this is interesting, we just had a memory comp at OCN and some of us couldnt push bclk any higher than 101bclk on the 1:8 divider while others could reach 105bclk easily. I thought this was due to different sets of ram being better and / or good imc.But after your comment about problems with tRCD running at 9 I just anilized the results more closley and noticed that all the guys who can achieve over 101bclk on the 1:8 divider have had to use tRCD at 10.

I think I need to test this and speek to some of those guys to see if they have problems with tRCD 9

Make sure you do that I have exams now so I cant push more, but I'll try again after the 25th. I'll try Hypers as well and see if I have any luck

[ScunnyUK]

Well using tRCD 10 does allow me to achieve higher bclk on the 1:8 divider, my current result in the bclk class is at 107 on that divider

 

Good luck in your exams George
