BIOS Setup

MS-7593

1N/2N Memory Tmng

Ths tem controls the SDRAM command rate. Select [1N] makes SDRAM sgnal

controller to run at 1N (N=clock cycles) rate. Selectng [2N] makes SDRAM sgnal

controller run at 2N rate.

CAS Latency (CL)

Ths controls the CAS latency, whch determnes the tmng delay (n clock cycles)

before SDRAM starts a read command after recevng t.

tRCD

When DRAM s refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. Ths

setup tem allows you to determne the tmng of the transton from RAS (row ad-

dress strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clock cycles, the faster

the DRAM performance.

tRP

Ths settng controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be

allowed to precharge. If nsufficent tme s allowed for the RAS to accumulate ts

charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be ncomplete and DRAM may fal to

retan data. Ths tem apples only when synchronous DRAM s nstalled n the sys-

tem.

tRAS

Ths settng determnes the tme RAS takes to read from and wrte to memory cell.

Advance Memory Settng

Settng to [Auto] enables the advance memory tmng automatcally to be determned

by BIOS. Settng to [Manual] allows you to set advanced memory tmngs.

Memory Rato

Ths tem allows you to set the memory multpler.

Adjusted DRAM Frequency (MHz)

It shows the adjusted DDR Memory frequency. Read-only.

Uncore Rato

Ths tem allows you to set the uncore (clock speed of the L3 cache and memory con-

troller) multpler.

Adjusted Uncore Frequency (MHz)

It shows the adjusted uncore frequency (uncore rato x base clock, the clock speed of

the L3 cache and memory controller). Read-only.

ClockGen Tuner

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the followng screen appears.
