I've put a number of systems together, but never have had to manually setup the bios to recognize the standard settings of the memory.
Components that I'm working with:
1) ABIT NF-M2 Motherboard
2) Corsair TWIN2X1024-6400C [4-4-4-12-2T] memory
I've read through this Corsair White Paper to understand what each number of the [4-4-4-12-2T] means so I know what to change in the bios, but the system will not boot and just beeps when I boot up.
However not all the settings match what is listed in the bios for the motherboard. Below is what is shown on the DRAM Configuration page.
DRAM Timing Selectable - Auto
X - DRAM Clock DDRII 533
X - TwTr Command Delay 2 Clocks
X - Trfc0 for DIMM1 105 ns
X - Trfc1 for DIMM2 75 ns
X - Trfc2 for DIMM3 75 ns
X - Trfc3 for DIMM4 75 ns
X - Write Recovery Time(Twr) 4 Clocks
X - Precharge Time(Trtp) 2 Clocks
X - Row Cycle Time(Trc) 17 Clocks
X - RAS2CAS R/W Delay(Trcd) 4 Clocks
X - RAS to RAS Delay(Trrd) 2 Clocks
X - Row Precharge Time(Trp) 4 Clocks
X - Min. RAS Act-Time(Tras) 12 Clocks
X - DQS Timing Training Skip DQS
X - CKE Base Power Down Mode Enabled
X - CKE Base Power Down By Channel
X - Memclock Tri-Stating Disabled
Bottom of UMA DRAM [31:24] FC
Memory Hole Remapping Enabled
DRAM ECC Enable Disabled
X - DRAM MCE Enable Disabled
X - Chip-Kill Mode Enable Disabled
X - DRAM ECC Redirection Disabled
X - DRAM Scrub Rate Disabled
X - L2 Cache Scrub Rate Disabled
X - DCache Scrub Rate Disabled
Auto Optimize Bottom IO Enabled
X - [31:24] IO Space C0
This is what is shown in the User Manual, not what my default was when I started up. I do remember (because I'm not at the computer) that the bios was recognizing DDRII 533 memory. I changed the voltage to 2.1V for the memory because corsair says it runs at 2.1V. So of the above what do I change to 4 clocks, 12 clocks, and the 2T. I think the 2T was really the only thing puzzling me. Thanks in advance.
