Sapphire PURE Innovation PI-A9RX480 Baseline Memory Settings

Since some people have reported problems trying to get memories to work well on these boards, I have put together a spreadsheet of some baseline memory settings to get the most out of your RAM. These are not golden settings that will work perfectly out of the box for everyone, but they should be in the ballpark. These settings have been tested in our labs with the listed components and have worked well. If the components differ than the ones listed then the results will vary. But in general all UTT/BHT and TCCD based dimms perform similarly. There will be differences based on CPUs however. You can try tightening the timings from the ones listed for absolute maximum performance.

One of the biggest issues is that people are trying to overclock this board just like previous boards like the DFI Lanparty motherboards. These boards are not the same and don't have bios files tailored for each type of memory.

DISCLAIMER -- Whenever any component is overvoltaged you run the risk of damage. The attached spreadsheet lists voltages above the rated value for the CPU. Use the listed settings at your own risk.
