Folks,
As it it these days, every MoBo maker has decided to include fairly detailed memory timings in the BIOS. To complement that, we now have various chip specific BIOS's being released. Case to point: Modded BIOS's for the DFI NF4 series.
Most people say Weak Drive strength's are for TCCD and strong ones are for BH-5. I have been stuggling of late to eliminate memtest errors running 1:1 DDR600. A few minutes ago, I decided to try BH-5 drive strengths i.e Drive strength of 8 and Data Drive Strength of 1. Guess what? From 194 memtest #8 errors I dropped to zero errors on two passes! O.K its just a couple of passes, but I thought it would be nice to share this info.
Moral of the story:
Do your own testing every module is different! And, don't shy away from adapting BH-5 timings on TCCD. It may work
Hope this gives all those frustrated at not being able to run DDR600 on their TCCD some hope. Detailed test results (memtest only), tonight.
