Incorrect Timings-Crucial Ballistix+EP45-UD3R

Re: Incorrect Timings-Crucial Ballistix+EP45-UD3R

Oh. So timings aren't separate of themselves but are related to the FSB speed?

I wouldn't set vcore below default VID, certainly not when overclocking. Is LLC (Load Line Calibration) enabled or disabled?

Not directly to FSB speed, but memory clock (which is half of Memory Frequency shown in BIOS, that is rated DDR not real clock frequency)
The timings you see in MemSet spd, standard or EPP, are actually given in time (nano seconds) and MemSet converts them to cycles for the different clock frequencies.

Oh ok.

Load-Line is disabled. I just bumped my Vcore up to 1.3v after reading your post- still displaying 1.25v in CPUID though....

This is perfectly normal, under load it will get even lower.
All this was taken into account when intel set 1.3v as default VID.
The vcore in my sig is what CPU-Z shows under load, in BIOS it is set to 1.25v.

You will need to run some stability tests to make sure your OC settings are stable. What kind of CPU cooling you have?

Filling yor sugnature with your system specs, including a link to the ram specs may also be helpful.

OK, sorry, not sure what you still need answers to now?

Anything? If so let me know, no worries about asking questions, we all have to learn somewhere

Re: Incorrect Timings-Crucial Ballistix+EP45-UD3R

Here you go Chike. I had no idea about the voltage when ocing, I guess I just figured you set the FSB and away you went lol

LSD, I just had some "why" questions,
like why do you set the driving strength as 1066 in MIT instead of 800
thats all lol

Thx LSD and Chike :)

Re: Incorrect Timings-Crucial Ballistix+EP45-UD3R

Often higher driving strength than ram speed will work best, sometimes it may not work at all though but it is best to try one above ram speed first.

Re: Incorrect Timings-Crucial Ballistix+EP45-UD3R

Ok. Can you help me with my voltage dilemma? I don't know what to set, I mean your post gives me ranges but I don't know if these are stable and what to do if they are not. For example-

For 3.6Ghz my-
Vcore is at 1.3v
Termination is at 1.3v
MCH Core is at 1.2

My computer is running fine right now, should I run something like Prime95 overnight to check these volts?

Thx

Yes, I use Orthos myself on P45 and Memtest86+, but prime95 would be fine as well.
