Hey!

Out of curiosity, are there memory timing features locked away somewhere in the A06 or A07 BIOS? That's the primary reason I'm here, to enable my new RAM, 1600MHz (well, 1600MHz capable, but as per the JEDEC standard, slowed to 1333) to actually operate at that speed, without the XMP profile. Turns out, I can't just crank it up to 1600 with the current BIOS functionality, and expect it to work. The thing won't even post.

Although the standard CL-RCD-RP timing of 9-9-9 is the same from 1333 to the 1600 XMP profile, the RAS would need be changed, in addition to the RC, RFC, CR, RRD, WR, WTR, and RTP latencies. Is that all available, by any chance? I know it's a far cry, and even if it is, it's probably more work than you wanted, but I suspect that I'm not the only one who'd rather not have to buy software to reprogram the SPD chip on memory upgrades, just to accomplish what the BIOS may have been able to do if unlocked.

So, is it at all possible?

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer!

...I just opened A07 with the Phoenix BIOS editor, and I do not see most (or any?) of those in the string section. If I'm not mistaken, that means, "no, not possible", doesn't it?

Hello,

Best Regards! SimStar
