Default Re: Help With Memory Problem

Found this in a forum about my motherboard

Could someone please explain what i should do?

thanks

What is "Flexibilitiy Option" in BIOS?
Please turn of Flexibility Option at all times, it's known to set your memory divider to 133MHz regardless of your setting in "Memory Clock" option.
What memory dividers are available?
Memory dividers can be set in BIOS.
In BIOS, goto "Advanced" -> "CPU Configuration"
set "Memory Clock" to

In this particular case of a CPU with mutiplier 10, i.e. 3200+
The available memory dividers are as followed:
200MHz = 10
166MHz = 12
133MHz = 15

You can utilize 3 more dividers using a tool called A64Tweaker.
In A64Tweaker, look for the drop down box named "MEMCLK Frequency", set it to
183MHz = 11
150MHz = 14
100MHz = 20

A64Tweaker - version 0.31 is recommended.

********************************
The formula for calculating memory speed:
MEM Speed = CPU Speed / divider
********************************

For example, if I OC my 3200+ to 2400MHz with memory clock set to 166MHz in BIOS. To find my memory speed using the formula "MEM Speed = CPU Speed / divider", my MEM speed is 2400 / 12 = 200MHz.

Here is the table for complete list of memory dividers. To use it,
1st. find the CPU multiplier you are using.
2nd. find the corresponding memory settings in BIOS/A64Tweaker, then you'll have the memory divider.
