Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

[carlese]

Hi, i read from the manual that my board supports up to 4gb ddr3 ram, but i heard that some people are using 8gb instead.. so is it possible to use 8gb? thanks a lot!

Also, could someone send me a 1.26-1.27 bios? thanks!

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

I was going to suggest you read THIS thread but I see now you've already done that.

carlese, send a PM directly to "ASRock TSD - Emily" here using THIS link and politely request that BIOS file.

Otherwise, chances are she'll miss your request there in that old thread.

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

Ok, thanks a lot! Can you please tell me how to set the jumpers on my mb to use ddr3 and over clock my q6600 to at least 3.2ghz?it doesn't say anything on the manual about ddr3..

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

Hi again, i tried everything on my board but i still can't set my ram to 1333.. i know it supports it, but everything i can set on my bios is 800 or 1066, and the timings are all wrong! see this screen:

Timings should be 9-9-9-24 but all i can set is 6.. please help me.. this is my config:

- e6600 @ 3.0 ghz (333x9)
- 2x4gb ddr3 vengeance 1600mhz (yes, 8gb work fine and 1600mhz is not the problem here)

Thanks!

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

FYI. Any suggestions by me from here forward are from me reading the manual and using Google. As I do not own this particular motherboard that is all I have to operate with, the manual and Google.

Are your FSB jumpers still in the "Default" positions?

FSB2 XXOO
FSB3 XXOO

FSB1 XXOO

OK, As it seems you're getting along much better in another forum, I'm going to let you continue on over at:

You're getting more help there than I could ever assist with.

Good luck.

I wrote here 'cause i hope someone from Asrock TSD answers ASAP.. i really need some advice.. i tried setting jumpers as you told me, but still no luck.. I also tried with only one stick instead of two, but still no luck.. it's strange 'cause on the other forum a guy managed to go to 1333 just settinf jumpers like this:

- FSB1 2-3
- FSB2 1-2
- FSB3 1-2

Obviously I tried and.. NO LUCK :( I don't think my ram are damaged, because they work fine and the system recognizes them with no problems, I just want to reach 1333mhz.. on this board this is not even an OC like in other boards (for example g41 from asrock has support from 1333 ram, but only in OC, and my friend uses the same ram i have with g41 and it works on 1333), so please tell me how to solve it.. calling all Asrock TSD here :D

Thanks!

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

CPU: e6600 step b3 @ 3.0 Ghz, 333x9
DDR3 1&2 4096mb (I see set up as 800mhz)
Bios L1.26
Timings auto (cpu-z shows 6-6-6-15)
Spread spectrum and speedstep disabled..

I read someone say to short fsb2 3-4 and fsb3 4-5 or both 3-4.. Can you confirm?

No I cannot confirm.

Stay with me please.

Now show(Please copy and paste the below then include your settings after each):
BIOS > Advanced > Chipset Configuration

Memory Remap Feature [ ]
DRAM Frequency [ ]
Flexibility Option [ ]
DRAM CAS# Latency [ ]
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay [ ]
DRAM RAS# Precharge [ ]
DRAM RAS# Activate to Precha

[carlese]

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

Memory Remap Feature ENABLED
DRAM Frequency AUTO (can only choose between auto, 800 or 1066)
Flexibility Option. DISBLED
DRAM CAS# Latency AUTO (can choose up to 9)
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay AUTO (can choose up to 6, instead of 9 which is the correct timing)
DRAM RAS# Precharge AUTO (can choose up to 6, instead of 9 which is the correct timing)
DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge AUTO (can choose up to 15, instead of 24 which is the correct timing)

In addition, i whought ram were defected, so i ran a 5 hours memtest but no errors were found..

Something is definitely wrong..

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

Something is definitely wrong..

I'm not yet going that far as to declare something wrong.

I've PM'd ASRock TSD Emily and asked her to to review this thread and post available options for you.

If I knew if the jumpers didn't set a hard multi I'd have suggested that to you. Yet I do not want to get blamed for anything that may have gone wrong while doing so. So be patient and lets see what Emily has for you.

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

i hope she answers you.. i don't get any response to PMs..

Re: Asrock P35D DDR3 Question

Emily will probably post in this thread, either to ask for more information or with some suggestions.
It will speed things up and help if you follow the following suggestion and completely add all information in your PC SPECS:
