Ep35-ds3l with 4x1GB

[airtrade]

I have a ep35-ds3l with a e2160, 4x1GB patriot extreme mem. Its running at 4-4-4-12 2.2v.
I am looking for some help with the bios setting. Here are my current numbers which were stable with 2x1GB.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Ep35-ds3l with 4x1GB

First off please test each one of your new sticks at stock with Memtest86+ 5-10 passes one by one to be sure neither is faulty

Then I would advise these changes be made and then saved in the BIOS with 2 sticks in and then shut down and put in the other set. BOLD ITEMS are a "Have To" thing for 4x1GB, everything else is just suggested optimal settings >>>

Robust Graphics Booster___________ [Auto or fast
Clock Ratio ____________ [9]
CPU Host Clock Control_ [Enabled]
CPU Host Frequency (MHz)__________ [333]
PCI Express Frequency (Mhz)_______ [100]
C.I.A. 2__________________________ [Disabled]
System Memory Multiplier (SPD)____ [2.00] << 2.40 for 800Mhz (Not sure if you noticed but 2.00 was running your ram at 667)

DRAM Timing Selectable_______ SPD __ [Manual]

Performance Enhance = [Standard]

CAS Latency Time________________ 4
Dram RAS# to CAS# Delay_________ 4
Dram RAS# Precharge Delay________4
Precharge Delay (tRAS)__________ 12

ACT to ACT Delay (tRRD)_________ auto (3-5 Optional)
Rank Write to READ Delay________ auto (3-6 Optional)
Write to Precharge Delay_________ auto (4-6 Optional)
Refresh to ACT Delay______________ 42 << 52-62
Read to Precharge Delay__________ auto (3-6 Optional)
Static tRead Value_______________7-10 << I do suggest you set this, but it is not a Have to type of thing. This setting has the MOST Impact on your system performance

Static tRead Phase Adjust________ [Auto] << Always

System Voltage Control____ [Manual]
DDR2 OverVoltage Control__ [+0.400V] << +0.2-0.3 for 2.0-2.1 as 2.2 is not often needed, and I dont suggest using it without a fan directly over the ram

PCI-E OverVoltage Control_ [+0.1V]
FSB OverVoltage Control___ [+0.1V]
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control [normal] << +0.2-0.3 << Needed for 4GB ram
CPU Voltage Control_______ [1.30]

Re: Ep35-ds3l with 4x1GB

Got it going with these settings now.

Robust Graphics Booster___________ [Auto or fast
Clock Ratio ____________ [9]
CPU Host Clock Control_ [Enabled]
CPU Host Frequency (MHz)__________ [333]
PCI Express Frequency (Mhz)_______ [100]
C.I.A. 2__________________________ [Disabled]
System Memory Multiplier (SPD)____ [2.40] << 2.40 for 800Mhz thanks missed that.
DRAM Timing Selectable_______ SPD __ [Manual]

Performance Enhance = [Standard]

CAS Latency Time________________ 4
Dram RAS# to CAS# Delay_________ 4
Dram RAS# Precharge Delay________4
Precharge Delay (tRAS)__________ 12

Im guessing that these next settings lower is better.
ACT to ACT Delay (tRRD)_________ 4 (3-5 Optional)
Rank Write to READ Delay________ 6 (3-6 Optional)
Write to Precharge Delay_________ 5 (4-6 Optional)
Refresh to ACT Delay______________ 52 << 52-62
Read to Precharge Delay__________ 3 (3-6 Optional)
Static tRead Value_______________9 (7-10) << I do suggest you set this, but it is not a Have to type of thing. This setting has the MOST Impact on your system performance

Static tRead Phase Adjust________ [Auto] << Always

System Voltage Control____ [Manual]
DDR2 OverVoltage Control__ [+0.200V] << +0.2-0.3 for 2.0-2.1 as 2.2 is not often needed, and I dont suggest using it without a fan directly over the ram
Yes I think I had them running at 1.8v but that was with 2x1gb and mem at 667mhz.
PCI-E OverVoltage Control_ [+0.1V]
FSB OverVoltage Control___ [+0.1V]
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control [+0.1v] << +0.2-0.3 << Needed for 4GB ram
CPU Voltage Control_______ [1.30]

Seems to be working great. Next should I try to drop the advanced timing settings?
Thanks for your help LSD you are doing great things on this board.
Im already wanting a p45 board and e8400.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
