Memory timings

jhoop2002 · 25-January-03, 09:18 PM

I keep hearing about memory timings and see the different choices in the bios. Now i have corsair XMS 3200, 2 512 sticks. The website says it can run at 2-3-3-6-T1, but i don't have options in the bios in excatly that order. Can someone explain what each of those settings mean and what they do, or kindly point me in the direction of a article that explains that.

I may be mistaken but I think that the numbers are backwards.
6-3-3-2. Is probably the choices the bios gives you

Try this: Memory Timings

If that doesn't help, I have many more links.

http://www.corsairmicro.com is a good place to start. They'll explain what the numbers mean and how they relate to what you have in your particular BIOS. Check the forums there. amdmb.com forums is also a good place to check. They usually have a "sticky" thread for your motherboard that will list the most agressive timings your likely to be able to use at stock speeds.

From experience, Corsair should deliver very agressive timings at well above stock speeds.
