LP UT 250GB with 512MB TCCD 1T DDR 600 BIOS Setup Example

[OSKAR_WU]

LP UT NF3 250GB + TCCD 512MB , 1T DDR600 BIOS Setup Example

1 . Genie BIOS Setup Page

CPU tested using K8 754 , 3700+ CPU , running 300 * 8

Besides

CPU Multipliers
FSB Frequency
CPU Voltage set to what you want
DRAM Voltage set to 2.8V
All others option is ok with Auto or Defualt



2 . DRAM Setup Page

DRAM Module tested is OCZ TCCD 512MB

With only one module , it's recommended to installed in DIMM1 , DRAM timing set as below



With two modules , it's recommended to installed in DIMM1/2 , DRAM timing set as below




Due to K8 has intergrated memory controller , and each TCCD module will not perform as the same as the one I got ...

Not all the similiar setup can running at DDR600 using 1T , it's depend on the CPU and DRAM you have ...

If such bios configuration is not stable in your system setup ...

Try

1 . Increase Trp to 4

2 . Raise DRAM to 2.9V or above , and try DRAM Drive Strength 1 first no matter you have 1 or 2 TCCD 512MB , if it's not stable , try 2 , 3/4 will not be stable once DRAM voltage is too high for TCCD

If it's still not stable , in order to keep the best performance , it's recommend to keep the memory timing(or you can even try to decrease Trcd to 3) and decrease the FSB frequency to see what's the highest stable limit of your setup , it will maintain the best peformance

Setup up to 2T for running at DDR600 is not a good idea ...

Above information is FYI ...

Ps : Some TCCD 512MB Module perform better to set Skew Value to 64 using 1 DIMM, set to 128 using using 2 DIM ... You need to try it ...

Some good info there, Thanx. I don't have that RAM, but your post gives me a few ideas.

that biosview program.. Is it something one could get one´s hands on?

[G H Z]

This might be it.

Awesome information, Thanks!! My replacement LP UT NF3 250GB (first one refused to do 3D tasks with any graphics card without black screening or freezing and that was after trying different power supplies, hard drives, memory, cpu's, 3 graphics cards and multiple XP installs and bios updates and settings) and 1GB of PQI PC3200 (TCCD's) should be here tomorrow morning. Can't wait to try some of these base settings out.

[mad mikee]

Oh well after I get that up to 250, back to my PQI.

Thanks Oskar! (now to bookmark thread heh)

question how does Tref correspond with how other boards and A64 Tweaker list their values ?

i.e.

A64 Tweaker has values for Tref like

200mhz 7.8usec
200mhz 15.6usec

while DFI bios has Tref in 4 digit values like 4708 ?

what's the DFI bios Tref value equivalents for

200mhz 7.8usec
200mhz 15.6usec
166mhz 7.8usec
166mhz 15.6usec

??

oh yeah where to grab that bios view program

thanks

[bypolar]

Yes great info. Thanks!!

[reject]

in the bios, the last one is the last one in a64 tweker and so on. 4708 is the fastest and that corresponds to 1.95us 166mhz
hey oskar what is a good skew value for hynix DT43 chips? i have it at 50 now i think. i dont seem to get any bandwidth out of it just stability

[longshot]

hmm wonder how these setting would work with 3700EB

hmm wonder how these setting would work with 3700EB

That is what I am wondering. Oskar any good info about the 3700 eb's?

[__TRONIK__]

some settings for bh-5 2x512 would be nice too....
I have been running bh5 at 265-270 2-2-2-11-1t @ 3.4 volt for over a week, memtest clear and no crashes at all, all of a sudden I freeze today and if I try to set vdimm to above 3.3, (rail is 3.6 via internal pot) the dfi restarts at only 2.6vdimm. Do I need to turn down the 3.3 to 3.5 or something? 3.3v and 255 I am in windows, but dunno if it is stable yet. using jess' bios....

Grand work oscar, wish we had more like you for the rest of the companies out there

[Alex08]

ok my question is when i tried using oscar's settings. my pqi 2x256 ram at ddr600 2.5-3-3-7 was a lot more stable at that speed, but i lost 300pts in sandra.

take a look at my screenshot if anything seems wrong. help would be appreciated.

thanks

[Mrki]

hmm only 4300MB/S in Sandra ??? With 1T ??? Why?

[Alex08]

yeah thats what im trying to figure out, i lost 300pts when i switched to the mem settings listed for two modules.

Tref 4708 or 166mhz 1.95usec lost me alot of pts when testing BH-5 ram and 200mhz 1.95ns cut my sandra buffered in 1/2 lol

[Ubermann]

I get high points using tref 166.
Maybe 166 isnt good for 2 sticks.

[Mrki]

hmmmm can you test for only one module settings? with both ram ....

[abstrakt]

Using theses settings for two 512MB Ballistix PC4000 I can boot at 300FSB, stable at 275FSB. TCL 3.0 though. Powerstream comes today so I will try later as my 12v is at 10.3v constant now.

[reject]

no, i have 2x512 DS and Tref 4708 (166 1.95us) runs fine

[Catalan]

I'd like to know some settings for 2x512 BH-5 also...

[reject]

id say, according to jess, 2-1T-2-10-2-8-12-2-2-1-2-4708-1 and then the other settings with all enabled

[Alex08]

Memory is really at 279MHz

6.5 multi = 7 memory divider, CPU-Z is incorrect.

ahhh crap you're right. now its impossible to keep stable at 300 when i changed the multi to 6 or 7.

[Walrusbonzo]

Gonna try this with my 2x512mb Samsung TCCD NOW

Thanks Oskar_WU, you really are the star of our PC world here at XS.org
