How to pinmod and further overclock the M11x R1 (SLG= Hardmod only)

[ajslay]

yes, I know that... the problem is, my hyperx is stuck on cas5 limiting my OC to 1.7ish... so I need to flash it to a cas6 to try to go higher...

if i were you id just use different ram. i have a 4gb samsung kit that can go past 1100mhz cas 6.
and im not sure on the flashing process, iv done it before, but davy supplied the spd file and i just flashed that to see it it worked.

awesome! so i have a chance at an ICS. and i had mine bsod on atitool also, it could be a driver issue.

yeah I am going to test it on a new install of windows with fresh drivers and run prime95 and furmark or something overnight to test it and see if its a stable board they sent me.

you could try running the heaven benchmark. thats pretty gpu intensive.

would that also stress my cpu? because I want to run something overnight and see if the whole system is stable.

I would like to try... this memory should be good to cas6@1280

use SPDTool..... (supports 64-Bit too)
link for SPDTool: SPDTool: Read, Edit and Flash your Memory's SPD
1.change the CAS like this.....
2.open SPDTool
3.then find for "CAS Latency Supported" (higlighted blue)
4.change it to 6 only........
5.then press edit and press fix checksum
6.then press file and click write.....
7.repeat the same process on your second module (if you have one)

Thanks for this. +1 Great way to test if RAM will work at that CAS. Granted, what do you do if it won't boot?

[DavyGT]

do you even think it would make a difference?

plus i dont have the software cuz i dont have a 32bit ddr3 system right now.

It might make a difference. You came this far already...

SPDTool doesn't work with DDR3 memory.

[jai554]

hmm.....
i can help anyone that want to flash their module to CAS6.....
just post the SPD link.........

@DavyGT
thanks for telling me that SPDTool does not work for DDR3 modules

First of all, many thanks to all contributing people (so many I can remember), I think that now my M11XR1 is now near its highest limits. I have tried to see the possibility to join pins 7 and 55 through a 10k resistor but the connections are so small that I prefer to have a PC and not a brick.

Reading the last comments about CAS5/CAS6/DDR3 and so on, I have checked my memory with CPUz and it says that it is DDR3 and opens four columns, from CAS6 to CAS9 with different frequencies. Does it mean that I can use other timings with the memory I have?.

Thanks a lot for any response.
José.
