well i have used thaiphoon but... eh i cant get it right.
there are 2 frequencies on the spd (of my ram) 333 and 400 and ive changed their respected cas lat's to 3 and 4. When I boot in at 420mhz I'm stuck at 5-6-6-18. I'm not sure how to edit that nor am i sure on how to edit the other two timings.
is it possible to make another frequency subset like 500mhz and put the values i want into that subset?
Alexio, that tutorial would be awesome!!
If U want - send me Your SPD before and after modifications. Im gonna check one thing and i'll try to make mod for higher freq for You. Theres some bits related to mem freq afair.
I'll make the tutorial this week. I read once that Taiphoon is unable to set secondary timings. I'll test if that's true. Surely I can edit them, but I'm not sure if Taiphoon sets them. I use a hex editor to change values as Taiphoon doesn't change hem after saving them :confused: Afterwards I fix the checksum with Taiphoon.
DaWan's new SPD:

(changed Manufactorer from Corsair to Micron and Part number I customized too ;))
Too bad DaWan's taiphoon trial has been expired so he can't rewrite his SPD anymore to test :rolleyes:
I'm particulary interested in customizing secondary timings because many motherboards lack many if not all of those in the bios.
well, here are my spd's:
Before: http://www.angelfire.com/ak5/samuraioreo/MushBefore.thp
After: http://www.angelfire.com/ak5/samuraioreo/MushAfter.thp
the originals are 333mhz @ 4-5-5-13-19 (tras-trc)
and 400mhz @ 5-5-5-15-22 (tras-trc)
editted ones just have a change of cl from 4,5 to 3,4
I also changed the refresh rate to 15.6 self-refresh and... I did something else... maybe I forgot... anyway... there they are.
Thanks zachy and alexio!
and btw alexio, im not sure i totally understand what you said but, thaiphoon does keep the values in the spd even after you close it (or even install a new operating system) (or 2 os's lol) (it was a bad week for me lol).
@m0da:
U have changed 2 bytes:
- 12 (put self refresh from 7.8u to 15.6u - default is ok for all module types, check micron spec.) and
- 18 (cl 3 instead cl4 as default).
Fast compare to other Mushkins SPD ive got (also 1gb modules)- they got way losened timings compared to Yours (bytes 32-38) and prooly they can OC higher.
Also Ur SDRAM Device Cycle time (byte 09) is set to 800mhz as default compared 667 other spd's ive checked.
In general it seems like u have half self refresh and putted default cas latency from 4 to 3 for default freq (800mhz) with tight timings compared to 667mhz modules.
I would suggest to change thoose other settings similar to 667 modules and try to OC up to 500mhz this way.
Check PM.
while I know you guys need to play I must remind you this is voiding warranty, any OCZ modules that we get back with a modified spd will not be swapped out.
Also, you need to remember you flash a bad spd the ram is dead, and usually if DDR2 will not allow a boot even if placed with a good module in the board.
So in short be careful.
Insulation tape works very well. Just insulate all but the SPD pins and boot it up with another module in the 1st slot ;)Quote:

My modules are pc3200 only (for both cl3 and cl4) im gonna give them some freedom - pc4200 & pc5400, still exactly with thoose modules data sheets spec.

This was just a quick search so one should be able to figure out which pins are necessary form the last group. The pins I posted can not harm your RAM I suppose. I think it would just make the pc not boot, like what happens when you use a dead module. Don't leave data are voltage pins open though (except the SPD voltage supply).
@Tony: could you maybe help us determine which pins are the ones required to program the SPD? It's better than hotswapping I suppose, for both the RAM aswell as the motherboard.
Its easy to render a module useless, trust me i have done it here.Quote:

This is no different than a motherboard manufacturer who charges for a new bios IC or repair on your motherboard.
You dork up your system, you pay to have it put right.
I bricked a module but brought it back alive by hotswapping :toast:Quote:

when i sum from byte 0-62 (80+8+7+d+a+2+40+.....+60+40) its equal 84C(in hex) in dec its equal to 2124,then i divide it by 256,the remainder is 76 then i turn it to hex it equal to 4C...what th heckk...????
its totally diff with the pict...someone can help me?
btw...any dump for ddr2 module??anyone can share it?
coz i had same problems like dawan did,,my biostar cant boot,when i choose mem divider higher than my SPD,,FYI i use adata pc5300

thx dude/sist...n sorry for ma bad english
-edit-
upload pict
Go to the EEPROM tab and use the "fix checksum" option. Very easy :)
so i dont have to sum them manually???
btw,am i on right methods when i try to figure the checksum byte?
@Tony:
I know that, its not my first day with PC and electronics at all - so i can blame myselfe sometimes when things goes wrong and live with it/find solution for fixing problem ive made.
With bios there was almost always easy way to fix any problems - hotplug bad chip for flashing with working rig wasnt so hard to do anyway - there was only one problem - similar mobo (sometimes mobo with similar chipset was enough).
@kutujambak:
You should look for data sheets for modules U got and then take any similar modules spd to compare/mess with instead of 'any'.
@alexio:
I agree here - knowledge,which pins are needet for eprom programming only would be great, but it sems kinda hard to determine them i think (or even impossible separate them - i wish i were wrong here).
Hi.My oem pc4200 micron d9 ram is dont boot with asus p5b.Where can ı find diffrent ram spd.Can any bady send me corsair,gskill ddr677 1gb ram spd to ozdalg@hotmail.com.Thanks.
Sounds like someone should make a guide for flashing Dead DDR2
you dont have to cover the pins at all just choose 50H and then flash
then choose 52H then flash..
that tells it the first slot stock and then the next populated slot.
not sure why you guys are saying to cover the pins unless its totally surrounding the use of hotplugging which should be avvoided no matter how you do it.
Hello, I have 2x2GB MICRON PC2-3200 CAS3 with D9DMT chips.
Can anyone send me a dumb from his 2x2GB sticks (PC4200 CAS4 would be the best I think)
Help me :D
Hello can anyone send me some corsair dumps?DDR800 or smthn.I have a value stick and it goes like ddr1000 and I would like to set it in SPD to stay at ddr1000 or ddr800.It does 1000 at 5-5-5 didn't try lower yet.New ddr2
hmmm i can buy those exact same modules myself but the whole hotflashing thing is putting me off..........anyone done a guide flashing these D9DQW sticks successfully?Quote:
