Current FSB/DRAM Frequency
This item displays current FSB/DRAM frequency.
DRAM Clock
This item sets the DRAM clock module.
DRAM Timing
This item selects the DRAM timing mode.
• SDRAM CAS latency This item determines the operation of DDR SDRAM
memory CAS (column address strobe). It is recommended that you leave
this item at the default value. The 2.5T setting requires faster memory that
secifically supports this mode.
• Bank Interleave: Depending on your SDRAM module structure, the 4-
Way setting can offer the best performance. If you choose the wrong
setting, the computer system will not run in a stable number.
• Precharge to Active (Trp): This item specifies the the amount of time
from a bank precharge request to when it can be activated. It is usually
recommended you use the lowest Trp which your RAM and motherboard
can run stable with.
• Active to Precharge (Tras): This item specifies the the amount of time
required between an active command to a precharge command.
• REF to ACT/REF (Trfc): This item means AutoRefresh period.
• ACT (0) to ACT(1) (TRRD): This item means ACT (0) to ACT(1) delay.
