Hi there, I was talking to a friend last night and he mentioned something about DIMM timings for ram. Apparently when you get new sticks you have to input the four-number sequence on the side of the sticks. Looks like i missed this, and boy is my face red.
So i got into the advanced part of the BIOS and put in the new 4-4-4-12, and then i put the refresh to ACT setting to max, as well as the write to precharge delay, as he told me to. The system becomes highly unstable. Either i get some weird sky blue screen when i lob in, or a blue screen after boot. When i launch ArmA2 i get a screen full of thin vertical bars that are dark grey and light grey. I have a HD5870 and i've only seen these screens with this new card.
So is it even worth setting these timings, and is there a performance gain? He seems to think it would be substantial. Can i make them stable?
Thanks for any advice!
