Unleashing the Bear(lake): Changing "strap" on the fly

[ownage]

It seems this should work with P965 boards, and aasmaukr did the tweak on an ABIT P965 IB9 board, but it seems it doesnt work with AB9.

I can see the "Performance level" option, but i cant Apply if i change a setting. I can use older versions (3.3beta) which dont have this option.

Start CPU-Z and save the register dump.

I get the same thing on my P965 DS3 if I use 1:1 and Cas 5.

You've gotta use Cas 3 or 4 or a different memory ratio and it works fine.

Ownage, your performance level is Level 13!

The highest functional value on P35 is level 12.

It seems that P965 can go even higher (looser).

If your performance level is not displayed it means that it is out of the range.

Changing it will work just fine since there is nothing wrong with the programming.
You can start by setting it to level 12 and lower it from there.

Huge boost in performance incoming

:P,

Problem is Memset doesn't allow me to press Apply, so i cant apply any setting. I installed older versions of memset, even memset3.3beta, and they work fine. Only the beta2 with the performance option doesn't allow me to press Apply.
Look at the screenshot above, the buttons are grey, and cant be used.

Strange thing I have seen is apparently it will hopld a performance level setting that's too low I was running at 5200 12x435 ram at level 6 approx. 540 4,4,3,4. Then I crashed upon rebooting I couldn't get into windows it would keep bsod. Finally got into windows and quickly set to diagnostic mode. I had noticed when I first opened memset it was @ per lvl 4 Coming back into windows in diagnostic it was slightly more stable. I tried changing memset to 6 then clockgening up with consistant crashes. I finally uninstalled memset and was 100% more stable. I reinstalled memset and it worked fine. I boot into windows easily at 4.5 so I started clocking again an hour later same sort of issue but was so bad since I was runnin in diag. mode already I had no savior. Load screen would work but as soon as the actual desktop was about to appear it would crash. I tried setting everything but to stock in the bios and still had issues. I finally decided to reload OS which I did at my same OC'd settings of 4.5 gig without a hitch.

Would it be possible for a manufacturer to include the performance level setting in BIOS? Or is there something complicated about it, and why havent they already done this, I get like 200-300mb better on most things, and latency goes down 10ns....Would be nice if they could put this in a BIOS

re-read bingo13's post in this thread IIRC

P5K already has bios options to alter the performance levels in the form of transaction booster and dram static read
