Hello,
I purchased M4A88T-M yesterday but to my surprise, ASUS does not facilitate Command Rate attribute selection in DRAM timing settings.
This restricts me to using Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB @ 1333MHz for compatibility (irrespective of Timings)
My existing config:
X4 B50
2x4GB Vengeance
MSI 5850 TFII
ASUS Xonar DG
4x HDD
VX450
My previous Board:
Gigabyte 880GM-UD2H
Reason for Changing the board:
To be able to use the Sata ports
(The position and orientation of Sata ports on gigabyte board restricted me to using only 3 Ports at max, the cables were stressed in this case)
This issue was there in many ASUS board, but I forgot to account it while purchasing
However, fortunately, I can set Command Rate = 2 using AMD OverDrive.
This is not convenient since I have to do this until it reaches desktop safely without freezing (which it does sometimes).
This is not yet a huge problem since I boot my PC only once in a day; but having a permanent solution would surely be very helpful.
My reasons of selecting an older series board are:
VFM
No requirement for USB3 and Sata III
Anticipated upgrade to IvyBridge or Sandy Bridge in 5-6 months.
What I want to know:
I would like to know if there is any way I can enable 2T at boot (bios mod etc)
Alternatives
What alternatives I can try:
I can ask the vendor to replace my board with another one; I do not want to spend alot and want to stick to Gigabyte OR Asus.
