[Asus+Dothan]Dead BH5 - Here is the TUT to fix it!

We now know that when you have an Asus motherbaord with the ct-479 and dothan you easily can kill youre mem. Many people say its the problem when using Clockgen and CPUZ at the same time.

So what would it be..

Well after some searching with Thaiphoon SPD editer i saw that (i had 1 "dead" and 1 normal stick in my dfi nf4) thaiphoon spotted 2 times a SPD. So practily the spd is still alive.

When you think about this we all know cpuz enters the spd. So i think that is the mean problem. (dont ask me what happend when this problem occured)

So what i did is reversed the problem :D

<font color="red">Follow this Tutorial and youre pretty bh5 will be running like it did before ;)</font>

Here you see thaiphoon. As you can see thaiphoon see's 2 SPD's, my 52H is my working xms 3200LL to get in windows and 53H is my dead xms 3500. Choose youre dead mem as device (i select 53h)

Second step is to load the "good" dump for youre dead mem. Try to find the simmilair dump for youre mem. So in my case xms3500c2 dump.

(you can find dumps in this post, or if you know someone with the same memory you can make a dump from them.

Then give Thaiphoon the order to Fully write the spd with the loaded dump.

Just restart youre pc....

AND ENJOY YOURE MEMMORY AGAIN!

Im sorry to say, CPUZ is a truelly great program. But this time its the bad guy and Erases the SPD from the memory!

<center><font size="5"><font color="red"><b>Warning!</b></font></font><br />

If people decide they wanna play with custom spd settings OR load an other spd then the original, they could destroy their ram and their memory controllers! Why? Coz Thaiphoon or anything else besides an external spd programmer doesn't access the secondary spd settings. So this can give HUGE problems were i dont want to be responseble for!

So please be clever and put the original dumps in the correct SPD's!

================================================== ======================

Waus!

Wow, if this works all the time you are a genious. :)

good find! this work on all mem with spd i'm assuming then?

It works ;)

Could you just dump from your good mudule and write to the bad module?

This is very very very good news my friend !!!! :toast:
Thank I will try it on my BH-6 :)

@Fugger

Well i hope i get youre question..

I had 1 good working 3200LL stick to get in windows so i could load thaiphoon. so i placed the not working stick in dual channel, and windows loaded. Then you can select an dump from the original spd, or mayb (didnt test it) an dump from other mem that has the same layout. But i think the best way is to still use the dump that has been made for the memmory itself.

Now is time to get a SPD dump for my dead stick of Twinmos SP 3200 that my DFI killed... :D
Could I dump out the SDP of the working sitck and rewrite the dead stick with it???
[Running to put on mi DFI the TwinMOS sticks... xD]

Well i cant say if this is the same with mem killed by other motherboards. Just for the clockgen+cpuz issue on the asus+dothan. Coz cpuz erases the spd somehow.

I think that the UTT problem with high voltages is related to the SPD, with this I will confirm that... ;)
BTW, I have done this with my Corsair BH-6 at this moment. I have the dump out from 1 stick (2.5-3-3-6 @ 200) and rewrited the SPD of the stick 2 (2.5-4-4-8 @ 200). now both are running fine with 2.5-3-3-6 @ 200 SPD&#180;s... :D:D
Thanks for show me this great program... ;)

Waus this is a really nice job finding this for the community.

Good luck with your fine 280mhz bh-5 again:banana: :banana: :banana:

NP lord...

As this is just great news for everyone :D

Wow. I thought it was impossible to reprogram spd without special equipment. Is i possible to alter the SPD manually?
Say, i want it to boot at 2-2-2-5 instead of 2.5-3-3-7 the first time..

Hey men!! My dead stick of TwinMOS Speed Premium UTT-CH is alive again!!!
I have reprogramed the dead stick with the SPD from the good stick.
Now I am writing with two sticks attached @ 268 2-2-2... they perform the same before they dead... :D:D:D
They are good news for all of those people with UTT sticks dead because of DFI vDimm... :D:D
A few bananas:
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
:toast: :toast: :toast: :clap: :clap:
I am very happy now... thanks man, you have make me happy for this afternoon... :banana: :banana:

WTF..... hahaha so also the dfi "dead by jumper mem" does also live again?

Well it is not proven untill someone test's it...
Hopefully all that (good, but dead) UTT will live again!

@mods
Sticky:confused: :stick:

The year just started movieman, give it some time. Great find there waus mod. I wonder if I can reprogram a normal stick of DDR 266 to DDR 400 at the same timings? It works at DDR 400, so why not program it?

Well i think it can.. but what will the difference be?

Nice found waus! :toast:

I was going to try this in a day or two but I am glad you did it first :D

But there could be another problem. I have 1 'dead' stick that works only on one (via kt266) motherboard. No post on other boards (tried 5 so far) no matter what - single , dual channel, 1 stick or 2 sticks (other sticks working). So, I really can't load windows even if good stick is used too. Basically, the only way would be some kind of hot plug, like loading Win with good stick and then plug that dead stick and write SPD.

But as I said, luckily I found 1 board of many that gives me a post with a bad stick. And to my surprise it can even pass memtest on that board.



Will let you know how it goes.

Sticky anyone?
Either I'm naive or he just came up with one hell of a fix!

Dump the SPD of the working stick, and shut down the PC. Remove the working stick and plug the "dead" one. Rewrite the SPD. This way I have done it with my Twinmos... ;)

Its like why do people flash their video cards with their clocks oced? Just makes things easier.
