Memory queries.

[masterofpuppets]

I was just wondering about transferring my OCZ PC4400 to a P4C800 E Deluxe. On ASUS's site on the spec for the mobo, it says PC3200. Also, I have heard that having over 1gb can cause instability problems on certain motherboards. Is this true with the P4C800E?

[masterofpuppets]

Don't worry! I've already solved it!!!

what was the answer?

[masterofpuppets]

Yes, but the memory will not run at that speed unless you have a high enough FSB level. Also, how do I find out what my timings are and how do I change them? I think lower timings are better, but how do I get them?

[masterofpuppets]

YAY, W00T! I just fitted my new P4C800E!!! The memory seems to be runnin fine. But does anyone know how to change the latency timings? Would I need to decrease memory bus speed for this to work?

go into bios and go to chipset config

Ok, I managed to get 568mhz and 2.5-2-3-5. Dunno how stable it is. It was originally 2.5-3-3-6. Is that pretty good for a first try. I will test it's stablility soon with a benchmark program.

You are telling me your PC4400 is running at 286mhz, 2.5-2-3-5??

No friggin' way................you sure it isn't in 5:4? I want to see a screenshot...

[masterofpuppets]

I dunno how it works, I'm quite new to memory stuff. And, also, how the hell am I supposed to use the net if I am reformatting my machine. I am gonna reinstall stuff then post it.

[masterofpuppets]

Each module is 568mhz. And the timings, I dunno if that's what they really are. But that's what it reports in da BIOS. Also, I am using a different computer at the moment, that's why I can use the net!

[Soulburner]

Well post a screenshot as soon as you can...that sounds like 5:4 timings to me, Hynix just can't run those timings at that speed.

[masterofpuppets]

I am gonna reinstall Windows after a format tomorrow! Then I will. Cos I had to reformat the machine cos of a HUGE infection of viruses and trojans and spyware!

2.5,3,3,6 is exelent for games . any lower than that will cause crashes and bsod .

He is prolly got the FSB ratio set to AUTO and with the P4P800-D it automatically wants to do 3:2, why who knows, but thats why his timings are so tight, he is underclocking his RAM.

When you have ur system up and running , in the JumperFree setup where it says the RAM speed set it to 320 for 5:4 or 400 for 1:1.

I have OCZ PC4400,no way will it run those timings unless its under 230MHz.
