CPU Frequency and Memory Settings

[cocacolaman]

I have a ECS Kn3 SLI2 Extreme

it's a AM2 Board

Trying to set the CPU Frequency.

Have a AMD 6400 Black Edition.

3.2 GHZ currently have set to 200 the minimum

timing. It allows from 200 to 300. Is there

a better timing I can set???


Also the Memory is 4 Sticks of (8 GB total Memory)

OCZ DDR2 800

OCZ2N800SRC44GK

I have is set at 2.1 V cause that's what it said on the stick.

But there are way too many memory settings for me to manually set.

I've pics at the bottom inclueded what CPU-Z states.


My maind two questions are

1. Is my CPU set correctlty and getting the most out of it???

2. Is my Memory set correctly and getting the most out of it??

I ask as this was a upgrade and the memory doesn't appear to be operating
in Dual Channel mode.


Thanks.

Oksy first things first you need to get a newer version of CPU-Z, that aside your memory is running at slow timings lower numbers are better, so in the memory settings in the BIOS change the first four to 5, 4, 4, 15 or if you can select the SPD or EPP profile mode which will set them automatically (if your motherboard supports this, EPP is an nVidea thing so hopefully it will).

As to your CPU each chip is different you can try upping either the multiplier from 16x to a higher number to increase your CPU speed or you can increase the frequency from 200 depending on the chip, motherboard and cooling you will probably get a bit more out of it.

Ok I put up the updated CPUZ

I can change the Frequency any amount from 200-300
and I can change the Voltage recommended is 1.35-1.4

But I can't figure out how to change the multiplier.

Here's what's in the bios

Now the that's the CPU but the memory is a big problem.

It always defaults to DDR2 400 not DDR2 800

and here's exactly what it says right now with nothing changed.




I have more pics of the bios options in this folder:

Here's a direct link to download the manual for this motherboard, might help to see all the settings in the bios that are available.

thanks

I think I understand the CPU better now. I figured out how to change the voltage
and timings and understand that the 6400 can be overclocked but I am really
looking for stability. I am currently over clocking it to 3.3 GHZ instead of
the 3.2 GHZ which isn't anything, but it should be stable.

The main problem seems to be the memory. I was able to finally get it to
recognize it as DDR 2 800 instead of DDR2 400 but the timings are off.
Every time I try to change them manually I get error and won't boot.

I do have the voltage set to 2.1 v.






Currently have DDRII Timing Item set to auto cause once i
go in try to manually set the CAS, TRCD, TRP, and TRAS
it will not boot just get errors.

I need to know for the memory what the are the correct
settings for the following so I can get the memory to perform
correctly. Right now CPUZ reports the follwoing:

CAS at 6 when it should be 4
TRCD at 6 when it should be at 4
TRP at 6 when it should be at 4
TRAS at 18 when it should be at 15




The following are the options when I take if off of auto.

what are the proper settings for the follwoing:

TWTR Command Delay ? default set at 3 bus clocks
TRFCO for Dimmo ? default set at 75ns
TRFC1 for Dimm1 ? default set at 75ns
TRFC2 for Dimm2 ? default set at 75ns
TRFC3 FOr Dimm3 ? default set at 75ns
TWR?
TRTP?
TRC?
TCL?
TRCD?
TRRD?
TRP?
TRAS?
1t/2t ? default set to 2t
TRTW ? default set to auto
Async Latency ? default Set to Auto
