No, I mean 2-2-2-5 doesn't apply to the four settings I was asking about. . .

CDsDontBurn · Oct 5, 2005, 12:12 AM

well, what do you want to set your FSB to? stock or OCed?

Well, I want someone from OCZ to tell me if they have recommendations for those four esoteric settings I asked about above.

rasta

CDsDontBurn · Oct 5, 2005, 12:51 AM

these four settings right?

Specifically:

Refresh Cycle Time
Read Delay (tRD)
Read Delay Adjust (tRDA)
Command Per Clock (CPC)

TIA & Peace,

rasta

P.S. That 2 GB is 4x512.

those you should know are set accordingly to clock speeds.

OK, stock clocks.

Rasta

CDsDontBurn · Oct 5, 2005, 08:10 AM

ok, at stock clocks, like i said 2-2-2-5

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 5, 2005, 05:32 PM

@ Rasta,

I don't have the board, but are those down under GAT? Game Acceleration Technology?
If that is the case they need to be at Auto for just about everything. Although you can play with other settings, it will just depend on your system.

@ CDDB......you can't set those at 2-2-2-5 they don't have those choices for what he is talking about...those aren't the timings

lol

CDsDontBurn · Oct 5, 2005, 06:31 PM

lol. They're not? i thought that they were

Auto? Booooo! C'mon man, you must have some suggestions. . .

rasta

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 5, 2005, 07:11 PM

I don't even know what your choices are ... I don't have the board.

Those enable or partially enable PAT...you will just have to "play" with them to see if the system stays stable.... There is no 1 magic setting that is best for everyone.

Everyone I talk to that uses the board....uses Auto

I recently bought an OCZ DDR Booster. I have it in my system right now, however something isn't right. The LED on the booster only displays numbers numbers when you have the knob all the way counter clockwise, and it is numbers that jump from 0.3 up to 9.7. Then eventually the LED shuts off. Any idea what the problem is? The rest of the info is in my sig.

Lowfat · Oct 12, 2005, 05:06 AM

UPDATE: The LED is on now all the time except the numbers still are varying from 0 to 9 or so. but its not jumping around, its decreasing all the time, and when it gets to 0, it goes back to 9.

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 12, 2005, 07:13 PM

Tulcakelume,

Please email me so we can get that replaced, Link is in Sig

Widkidone · Oct 20, 2005, 04:40 PM

RyderOCZ regarding the new RAM that i installed ( see specs below) if i want to overclock them, my mother board (K8N Neo 2 Platinum) in the bios has a function called Dynamic Overclocking and it gives me different setting like increase the CPU frequency by 1%, 3%,5,%,7%,9%, or 11% which would you recoomend?

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 20, 2005, 05:10 PM

Widkidone,

None of it....turn off Dynamic Overclocking...do it manually...its rubbish

Set the timings on the DRAM page to 2.5-3-3-7 (CAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS) set the ram voltage to 2.75V.
You should now be able to raise the FSB as high as 220-230ish at 1:1 for a nice boost

Widkidone · Oct 21, 2005, 02:13 AM

Well i set 2.5-3-3-7 (CAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS) and the voltage to 2.70 abd set th FBS from 200 to 220 and the system just reboots and ask if i want to start windows normally or at the last best known configs. But it keeps rebooting back to teh same question. Any ideas?

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 21, 2005, 02:17 AM

Ok...well I kind of expected you to work your way up there

try 205, then 210, etc and test with memtest each time to make sure things are stable

Did you lower the LDT multi to 4x instead of 5?
Did you lower the CPU multi or raise the CPU voltage?....by raising the FSB you also raised the CPU speed to 2640 from 2400...it might need more volts.
Is the ram in the 2 slots closest to the CPU?
What bios are you running?

Widkidone · Oct 21, 2005, 03:12 AM

Here is all the info:

Bios Version W7025NMS 021705 V 1.5
HT Frequency at 4x
Dymanic Overclock is disable
Agressive time is Enable
Memory voltage is set at auto
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency is at 210
2.5-3-3-7 (CAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS) and the voltage to 2.70
CPU Clock: 2520 MHz
Current DDR Clock at 210

Everything is smooth so far

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 21, 2005, 03:44 AM

Good,

Is that 4000 in your sig a Clawhammer or San Diego?

Widkidone · Oct 21, 2005, 03:51 AM

San Diego Core

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 21, 2005, 04:07 AM

I would recommend updating the bios to 1.8 or 1.9 also then....the San Diego was not officially supported until 1.8 I don't think..... 1.B is the latest....you might get better results with an update too

Widkidone · Oct 21, 2005, 04:29 AM

AMD website does not have the download and instruction to install these updates. Any suggestions where to find them.?

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 21, 2005, 04:35 AM

MSI built the board, not AMD.....you need to go to MSI's website.

www.msicomputer.com ...find the Neo2 and the bios files should be on its download page.

Widkidone · Oct 21, 2005, 06:56 AM

Thanks man for your help. I will keep you posted tomorrow morning. I found it.

Widkidone · Oct 21, 2005, 06:43 PM

well i have updated my bios to the most recent version...... it was not that difficult. Now should do the recommend setting that you gave me before RyderOCZ

*RyderOCZ* · Oct 21, 2005, 07:05 PM

Yes....work your way up to the 220 or 230 wherever your sticks top out...you will have to find that. No way for me to say that yours will definitely go 230 ...heck you might get 240...who knows

Here is a good OC'ing guide for A64...explains memory timings too:

Widkidone · Oct 25, 2005, 04:42 AM

RyderOCZ, thanks for your help i got it going at 2.5-3-3-7 (CAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS), 210, and at 2.65 volts.

*AndyOCZ* · Oct 27, 2005, 08:04 PM
