AN9 32x mobo
AM2 XP4200 X2
patriot DDR2-800 dual channel 1 gig
Hi, I recently started building my new system. The ram is only temporary (it's kind of cheap) but I thought I'd try playing around with the timing settings for the mobo cpu and ram. I have 800 mhz ddr2 ram for my new system, for now. When I go into the advanced chipset settings, and look at the latency for the four ram slots, it tells me there are two different speeds for slots 1 and 2 (the slots I have the ram installed in).
WTF?!
I seem to remember slots 1,3, and 4 having latency of 90ns or something like that, and slot 2 had 120 something. I moved the second one down to the 90 (partially because I like my system to work fast, and partially because I have a bit of OCD) and rebooted. I have a black screen now, never goes anywhere. I'm positive I can just reset the BIOS, but I'm wondering what the heck is going on with my latency?
Perhaps the second channel of each dual channel pair is ALWAYS slightly slower? It would make sense to me, but I tend to make assumptions based on what "makes sense"...
Thanks everyone...
