Ram Configuration advice

[dewaynelovesabby]

I have put together two systems for work. I am using Windows XP. The hardware is as follows.

ASUS M4A78T-E
F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK
AMD PH II 965 AM3 3.4G RT
Corsair PSU CMPSU-850TX
CAC-T05 case
Stripe 0 pair WD5000CSRTL sata drives
pair of Gigabyte HD4350 pcie in crossfire
22", 24", and 32" monitors


What are the recommended Bios settings for this combination? I do not want to OC. I just want a rock solid business computer. I use it for Electrical Estimating software and on screen PDF Cad drawings.


I received a HTSF error one time while leaving settings at auto. I have since changed some memory settings to what was shown in this thread. Was this presumptuous of me? http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=1753 Thanks.

Try these settings:

AI Overclock Tuner - Manual
DRAM Frequency - 1333

DRAM Controller Configuration (submenu)
DCT Unganged Mode - Enabled
Power Down Enable - Disabled

DRAM Timing/Driving Config. (submenu)
tCL - 8
tRCD - 8
tRP - 8
tRAS - 21

Rest can be AUTO

DRAM Voltage - 1.6V
HT Voltage - 1.4V
NB Voltage - 1.2V

Thank you

You're looking at the wrong field. On Phenom2's, the memory controller is on the CPU, so when people talk about NB and memory, they are referring to the CPU-NB. On our boards, this actually starts at 0.800v and increments by 0.0125. Leave the NB at auto and raise CPU-NB to 1.2v

Actually, it is still the NB Voltage even though the new memory controllers are embedded within the CPU.

I see, so what do you recommend the CPU-NB voltage to be set at?

[GSKILL TECH]

Default would be sufficient.
