DRAM Timing

This field is used to select the timing of the DRAM.

By SPD The EEPROM on a DIMM has SPD (Serial Presence Detect) data structure that stores information about the module such as the memory type, memory size, memory speed, etc. When this option is selected, the system will run according to the information in the EEPROM. This option is the default setting because it provides the most stable condition for the system. The “SDRAM CAS Latency” to “DRAM Command Rate” fields will show the default settings by SPD.

Manual If you want a better performance for your system other than the one “by SPD”, select “Manual”. Then select the best option in the “SDRAM CAS Latency” to “DRAM Command Rate” fields.

SDRAM CAS Latency

The default setting is 3 which is 3 clock cycles for the CAS latency.

Bank Interleave

The options are 2 Bank, 4 Bank and Disabled.

Precharge to Active (Trp)

The options are 2T and 3T.

Active to Precharge (Tras)

The options are 5T and 6T.

Active to CMD (Trcd)

The options are 2T and 3T.

DRAM Command Rate

The options are 1T Command and 2T Command.

DRAM Burst Len

The options are 4 and 8.
