"Jumperfree config" Paul Thanks Paul, but I recall it was a menu that could not be accessed until you hit a certain combination of keys, like CTRL-F1 for example. Maybe I dreamed it? Jon |

Jon First of all, I don't own the board, so my comments are just general ones. You want to be in Advanced:Jumperfree_config Look first at the "Overclocking Profile". That setting or one with a similar name, if you set it to [Manual], will cause other settings to magically appear. Asus does that, so a noob will not get themselves into trouble. When everything is set at Auto, very few useful settings will be revealed. As you change the BIOS settings to [Manual], all sorts of cool stuff will be revealed. Go through the BIOS and try changing an Auto setting to Manual, and see what appears. For RAM settings, there is a tool called A64tweaker, that claims to be able to change RAM settings while in Windows. I don't know if it changes the voltage or not, but it should allow experimenting with CAS, Trp, etc. How that is possible is a mystery, as a DDR DRAM controller should lose all contents of memory, if the standardized JEDEC startup sequence for the RAM is respected. http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showth...ght=a64tweaker Paul |
