SDRAM Active Precahrge Delay

I think this is the TRAS (I am referring to the value '7' in 2-2-2-7)

Instead of going through and doing the Sandra Memory tests (which i did a LONG time ago) can someone just tell me what the optimal setting is for an Athlon XP based Nforce 2 system. I cant remember if it is 4, 5, 7, or 11. I think it was 4.

In past reviews, memory bandwidth tests established that a tRAS of 10 was optimal for the nForce3 chipset and a tRAS setting of 11 or 12 was generally best for nForce2.

^ That was in Anand's NF4 SLI review, so I'd say you should use 11.

Im running Corsair Value Select PC3200 RAM, so im not exactly sure what chips it uses.

Does anybody have a similiar config?

The new SLI roundup indicates 7 as a safe average for the SLI boards. They also say that running memtest86 to determine your own sweet spot is a good idea.

As a general rule of thumb, IIRC, recommended Tras for nForce2 chipset mobos was 10 or 11.

yeap im using 11 for Nforce 2,
perform great with that.

how abot NF4? also 11 or 12?

 

[edmundoab]

no one knows?

 

[Wicked2010]

nForce2 = 11 or 12
nForce3 = 10
nForce4 = 7
