Hello,
I have a Gigabyte GA-P31-ES3G board, and am using F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK memory (2 2gb sticks). I have read and searched for related threads, but found none for this board.
I cannot figure out how to get this to run at 1066 mHz from the BIOS settings. This board does not have the usual settings (and please correct me if I'm wrong) for setting the memory timings (tCL, tRP, TRCD, tRAS, and explicit voltage. It does say in the specs, and printed on the board itself, that it supports DDR2 1066 memory.
The BIOS choices from the "MB Intellegent Tweaker" section for memory are System Memory multiplier (Auto, 4.0, 3.5...to 2.0), a display of speed (shows detected value 800, and an adjusted value based on CPU Host -1066), DDR2 OverVoltage Control (Normal - but not specified, +.1V to +.7V) Iset this to +.2 arbitrarily, and that's it as far as I can see.
I saw someone post somewhere that pressing Ctrll-F1 on the BIOS screen is supposed to give more choices, but it did not seem to do anything from anywhere in the BIOS.
I am using an Intel Core Duo 5200, clocked at 266 Mhz FSB, effective 3.33 mHz speed which shows on post, and although it seems to be steady, I got the same results with DDR2-800 sticks (g-Skill with the dark blue heatsink, don't have the number handy). The system reports running with DDR2-800 Mhz memory, and a memory test showed 800 speed with the 1066 ram sticks.
Can someone give me a specific path to set the 5-5-5-5-15 settings and the proper voltage based on what I have. Please try to give a step by step on how to do this. I'm not new to PC's, but I am new to adjusting the memory settings and overclocking. I would like to get the full speed out of the memory I'm using. I am afraid it is just reading the SPD numbers and I don't know what it is actually doing.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
