Here is a double edged sword, tip for maximizing bclk/yet the wrong setting can produce CPU sensitivities to '00' at resets etc :



First set Skew driving voltage to 1.04v, set bclk skew to 0 , rest of skew to auto and start pushing bclk to find limit.
next set Skew driving voltage to 1.04v, set bclk skew to -8 , rest of skew to auto and start pushing bclk to find limit.
next set Skew driving voltage to 1.04v, set bclk skew to -12 , rest of skew to auto and start pushing bclk to find limit.
if bclk is increasing going to -12 then slowly lower skew driving voltage from 1.04v to try to max bclk again.

for reducing bclk First set bclk skew to 0 , set Skew driving voltage to 1.04v,rest of skew to auto and start rewducing bclk to find limit.
next set bclk skew to +12 , set Skew driving voltage to 1.04v,rest of skew to auto and start rewducing bclk to find limit.
if bclk is redusing going to +12 then slowly increase skew driving voltage from 1.04v to try to reduce bclk again.

Not to say this doesn't work but lets says all cpu's react diff?

I played with every skew setting on one of my chips. The lower 4 do not have ill effects. The top 2 ( voltage + bclk skew ) however no matter what setting or combo fail to post.

Leaving them alone =
