Memory Issue, BIOS vs SiSoft

[SalientKing]

I have my timings set to 2-3-2-10-1T in the BIOS, but when I run SiSoft 2005 memory benchmark it reports my memory timings as 2-2-2-5-2T.

Is this a known bug in SiSoft Sandra 2005, or is there something else going on that im not aware of?

try running cpu-z

CPU-Z detects it 2-3-2-10, but does not state the command rate. Seems like there might be something wrong with the version of SiSoft i have installed.

Sissoft Sandra is known for making such mistakes. I wouldn't worry too much

How many sticks of ram do you have?

You might try EVEREST HOME EDITION and see if it'll confirm whether 1T or 2T

2 , a 512 and a 256

Everest is a useful tool, thanks for that.

Though it doesnt mention anywhere if its running at 1t , the benchmark for memory latency places my PC just under the top reference value.

So im guessing everything is as it should be.

there is no much difference between 2, 2.5 or 3

not talking about CAS, talking about command rate. And there is a big difference between 1t and 2t.
