Adjusting RAM operating modes is a very important stage in computer optimization. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the possible difficulties and problems before proceeding with changes in the parameters of the RAM operation.
Instructions
Step 1
Follow the standard procedure for checking the status of your RAM. To do this, use the MemTest utility or any similar one. It will allow you to avoid a large number of computer reboots during the RAM configuration process. If you do not have access to the Internet, open the Control Panel and select the "System and Security" menu. Now open the "Administrative Tools" menu and open the "Windows Memory Check" item. Select the option "Restart and check."
Step 2
After completing this process, open the BIOS menu. To do this, restart your computer and hold down the Delete key. Find the Advanced Setup or Advanced System Configuration menu. If these menus are missing, try pressing Ctrl and F1 and search again.
Step 3
Find the menu that is responsible for the parameters of the CPU and RAM cards. Find the four points opposite which the delay values (timings) are located. Change to 0.5 indicative of the last point. Be sure to look for the DRAM Voltage parameter and increase the voltage supplied to the RAM cards by 0.1-0.2 Hz.
Step 4
Save your settings and restart your computer. To do this, you can simply press the F10 key. Now check the operation of the RAM sticks using the MemTest program or the standard Windows utility. If the system did not detect any errors, then re-enter the BIOS menu and reduce the value of the next (third) item.
Step 5
Perform these cycles until the RAM checker detects errors. Be sure to periodically raise the voltage supplied to the memory cards. After reducing the timings to the minimum values, increase the frequency of the RAM bus. It is recommended to preliminarily increase the latency values by 0.5-1 in order not to spoil the RAM bars.
