Well, I sent en email to Asrock complaining about how I cant my BSEL modded E2160 and my DDR550 RAM to run at 1:1 ration (and I have tried EVERYTHING...including dropping the FSB to 200Mhz)...it still wants to run at 4:3. Prior to the BSEL mod I could run 1:1...
Anyway, their response was so...
I still cant get this darn thing to run 1:1 CPU to Mem ratio.
My E2160 with BSEL mod is running on 285Mhz FSB which should have my RAM running at 570. Its G.Skill DDR550 which I've seen run right up to 290Mhz FSB before. EVen If I slack off timings to 3-5-5-12 it always shows in CPU-z as 4:3...
No matter what I do I cant get the RAM to run at 1:1 ratio....
E2160 with BSEL mod and two 512 sticks of DDR550 G.skill RAM and I cant get more than an hour of Orthos to run without failing...FSB set to 290Mhz...
Is that about right....I thought I'd be able to get 300Mhz....and its not my...
I have got flexibility disabled. But when I look into BIOS at RAM settings the only option I have is DDR400, DDR330 and DDR133 I think from memory...there's no 266 option.
Its DDR550 though, and in all benchmark tests and reviews I've seen on it they manage a 290Mhz FSB with it easily....but at the moment its only running at 210Mhz according to CPU-Z...?
Hi Guys,
I just recently bought myself the E2160 CPU and swapped out my P4 640 CPU with it. I have been reading in here about people getting the E2160 to 260Mhz without the BSEL mod, so I figured I'd start off with that and see how it goes...
I am using G.SKILL F1-4400DSU2-1GBFC PC4400 RAM...
I have this motherboard too and I am running an old Intel P4 640 at 3.7Ghz (FSB is at 230Mhz).
I am using G.Skill DDR550 2x512Mb RAM at 2.5-3-3-6 1T timings.
At these settings SP2004 would fail after around 30 mins or so...sometimes sooner. I found that I acheived a more stable system and...
I had a similar problem with mine. I have G.Skill DDR550 RAM and I found that if I left the Memory Ratio setting at Auto, it correctly identifies the RAM as DDR550, however the system would never boot. I had to manually set the Memory to 1:1 DDR400 in the BIOS in order to get the thing to boot...
