P4G8X and latency question

True · Feb 9, 2003

Hi!!

I have just noticed a funky behavior in my P4G8X deluxe...
what happens is that whenever I exceed the system's spec 133Mhz FSB, my RAM timings will be dropped from 2-2-2 to 2.5-3-3, apparently by the BIOS (Rev. 1003). The RAM is Corsair's low latency RAM, so it should very well run at 2-2-2 at the measly 145 MHz FSB I am running it at now.
Has anybody noticed a similar behavior???
Is this a precautionary measure by Asus, or is there any way to circumvent this???

I hacked my mem timings by using WPCREDIT and WCPRSET to 2-2-2-6 timings

I'm not having any issues with this on my board - had it up to 160 at 2225 *EDIT* I did some testing and found out that my board drops back to 2.5 3 3 7 at 144fsb+ I came across this thread and this bios tweak makes a big difference:

Can someone tell me what all the 4 settings needed for wcprset are. The bios mod did not completely work. Thanks!

TC · Mar 1, 2003

What did the bios not do? It's working quite well for me.

Remove the battery and crear c-mos......ENABLE bios virus protection and you'll be OK....

sadcat · Mar 1, 2003

Yes, I didn't read the instructions well enough. I enabled virus protection, now all good.
