Score indicating reduced effectiveness in memory retention.
Score indicating reduced effectiveness in memory retention.
Hey there. The main point here is the title. It seems your system might be struggling with memory issues—this screenshot was shared on forums, and someone claims their setup is working better. You mentioned XMP is active and power limits are unlocked in BIOS.
Your current frequency is quite low; consider using the latest AIDA64 version.
He’s running on Quad Channel, and his score remains low for that configuration.
Could you share a screenshot from ASRock’s Timing Configuration (v4.0.4) tool?
Make sure the CPU isn’t throttling due to excessive heat.
Thanks for the update. Your NB frequency is indeed changing. When you restart your PC, it settles around 4200, though memory scores remain lower. I’m considering the latest AIDA64 and thought about adjusting settings. I’ve increased my scores to 45k after manually tweaking secondary timings, but they still don’t seem to rise further—what’s the expected range? My stock Trfc was at 880, which seems high; I adjusted it down to 460 now. Your CPU isn’t throttling at all—averaging around 64°C during games and stability tests. Regarding the ASRock Timing Configurator, here’s the link:
Certainly! I meant to clarify the specific numbers or parameters you're referring to. Could you share more context or describe what these values represent? That way, I can explain them in detail and ensure you understand fully. No need to worry about sounding stupid—just let me know how to phrase it better.
tRC refers to timing values that should appear in BIOS or AIDA64. Adjust it to the sum of those two timings (tRP and tRAS). With your current configuration, that equals 18 plus 38, which is 56. It's unlikely to make a big difference since Intel CPUs don't rely heavily on it. Don't worry if it isn't saved in BIOS—just move forward. For more memory details, such as chip types, you can use the "thaiphoon burner" tool, which offers some insights (though not always perfect). The odd part I noticed is IO-Ls at 14. Try changing it to 25 and observe the outcome. Warning: altering these settings might cause boot failures, and clearing CMOS could be necessary to restore normal startup.
It's already locked at 56 mate... I'm going to check how it plays out. I'm starting to believe it's just the memory, since no matter what I do, it stays under 46k, even though the score drops to 35k with looser settings. It feels like it stops at 46k.
