New Memory Tweaker for Intel Chipsets

[Hutch]

Performance level works now on my Gigabyte P965-DS3/S3 Rev 1 C1. The only time it doesn't work is if the divider is set to 1:1 with Cas 5. It's very hard to change levels downward from original, usually instantly freezes. At 451mhz FSB it boots at Level 12.

Has anyone found that giving the mch more voltage allows them to select a lower performance level?

Gonna test the new beta on P965 now

[d4ve]

Hutch, I once tried give more vmch on P35-DS3R, and I was able to lower PL to 6, before I was stuck at PL7. Usually set my PL to 6 made my systems instantly freeze.
Gonna try again later.

Tried it myself also. Level 9 used to make it my system freeze (P965-S3) on FSBs over 400 with max voltage in bios (+.3V) I hooked up a 10K VR and brought it to 1.7V. Not only did level 9 work at 425mhz FSB but Level 8 was stable also. Haven't gotten around to trying anything lower yet.

Felix the latest Beta ( v3,3 Beta 2 ) isn't working with Asus P5K3 Deluxe at all ( it's a DDR3 P35 board ).

Here's a pic



Let me know if I can help you with something

Can we get more info on how the performance modification is altering the mchbar registers? Thanks!

Could do, but first... I need some rest 'cause I'm barely hangin' on atm

I ran my good 'ole benchmark script to compare game performance when moving to performance level 8 from 9. Here are the results:

Performance level 9:

For system specs see my sig.

[luihed]

Wow.... I cant believe how slow Anus and gigabyte are setting thier boards... I dont think Ive ever seen Performance level 8 on my board at any fsb, its always between 5 and 7 .... I use memset all the time and never had a successful change, I guess Abit sets it at lowest possible all the time

[BenchZowner]

I've seen Performance Level 4 on the P5K3 Deluxe, and 6 regularly.

[FELIX]

...Anus

[ziddey]

lol

[alpha0ne]

...Anus

Sorry..................its something I have been using for many years now

[luihed]

...Anus

I got it from him [pointing up] ....

Do you remember what your fsb was at the time?... Im curious if they set these levels differently with DD3 boards, must have been really quick....

I don't remember, but I will be testing the board thoroughly over the weekend, and P.L. ( Performance Level ) investigation is on the check list

Expect updates & the review soon

[G H Z]

Dividers/FSB/Memory timings, all can change they PL level running on P5K.

[luihed]

Dont get me wrong, the P5K is a very nice board but after how their CS treated me with my commando Id rather not buy a board than give them my business.... Id be using a P5K if that didnt happen.... but thats another story lol...

[Truckchase!]

Dividers/FSB/Memory timings, all can change they PL level running on P5K.

To quote Mr. McMahon; "You sir, are correct!"

"Static Read Control" Disabled to Auto changes mine from 9 to 6. Transaction booster also directly manipulates that value.

[Tony]

The Performance level is the Static read control register, nothing more.

We also may be seeing 965 having the table a little messed up, i talked to Oskar and he is putting it into the dark bios

[Tulatin]

So i take it being able to set PL 5 (down from 8) on the sig-rig is good, with only +.1v mch, nb?

wow, talk about support for an aging board
I was wondering if you could elaborate on the two different memory enhancement options in current dark bioses and how they compare?

[FELIX]

Final version: MemSet33

-Add support for P35 chipsets.
-Add some timings on 650/680i chipsets.
-Improve readings memory frequency with s.775 CPU.
-"About" Panel was changed: supported by Abit now.

I don't add Performance Level on 965 chipsets for now, and waiting for more info
before add this feature on this chipsets, but I let the beta2 (included PL on 965P) in line.

Tell me if you find bug with this version...

[ziddey]

thanks. is there a way to allow it to change cas latency for non965/35 chipsets?

[FELIX]

thanks. is there a way to allow it to change cas latency for non965/35 chipsets?

It's not possible to change #cas under Windows on DDR2.

Felix the latest Beta ( v3,3 Beta 2 )
isn't working with Asus P5K3 Deluxe at all ( it's a DDR3 P35 board ).

Let me know if I can help you with something

I added some value in the final version->DDR3 have very hight timing (9.9.9.21)

Will soon be writen Vista 64bit version?

Normally it's work.

Hello m8,excellent tool.
Probably in the next beta the SAVE option will be available,
so that it could be applied at system start-up.
My mainboard is a p35-dq6.Thanks.

Save function work on final version too.

Can we get more info on how the performance modification
is altering the mchbar registers? Thanks!

...ask it at The Stilt.

[HamidFULL]

when I run MemSet First time after loading XP it show me all correct timings look :

First Run :


but When I Exit from MemSet with no change at all and run it again I see this :

Second Run :


and I have to restart my PC after boot again for first time only it show me correct timings!



I test MemSet 3.2 and 3.3 even betas but all of them have this problem

My system info is in my rig
any solution?
