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

[DR650SE]

Does it go down to CAS6? Naturally, the M11x will use the lowest timings, in this case, CAS6.
But when CAS6 is removed from the SPD, my M11x won't boot.

You can check your RAM's SPD by using CPU Z under SPD for supported timings.

Sure, do you want me to test both the HyperX as well as the G.Skill? G.Skill has higher latency.

EDIT: Disregard I'll just try out both and post screenshots.

i wish i had my M11x so i could help with this stuff guys...

i grabbed a set of GSkill 2x2Gb 1066 cas7 before i knew i was going to be getting into all the madness. i can lend out/donate it for testing this theory. i live just north of you DR560SE. let me know if you want it sent your way.

i feel like such a 5th wheel.

Lol, not a probem, results will be up in a min. I think the samsung I have might be 1066MHz, not sure on the Cas lat though.

The results are in.

First up, Stock Samsung 1066MHz RAM


Next up. G.Skill 1333MHz Cas9 RAM


And last but not least, Kingston HyperX 1333MHz Cas7 RAM

^ Thats cool, that means the hyperx should support 380fsb with oc mode enabled, and 285 with oc disabled. So why not try the hyperx at 400 fsb, im sure it can handle a 40mhz oc, and that would put you at 2.4ghz.

GUYS FIGURED OUT HOW TO CHANGE MEMORY TIMINGS!!!!
what you need: memset 4.1 (free software obtainable from a quick google search)

I'm greatly impressed and I hath bequeathed rep. I don't know if I wanna try this, but it's cool! And very, very detailed.

Maybe i got excited a little too fast. Cant seem to change cas but everything else will change. Im sure you can make up for the tighter cas by upping some of the other ones.

awesome find!

Thanks for the screenshots. The HyperX kit looks promising. The problems start occurring once you remove CL6 timings. I'll be waiting on OC results for the Kingstons. This really looks like the first time I need to buy and import enthusiast memory.

With Overclock mode enabled, you'll find the RAM is hardly a limit. You're more likely to run into chipset wall or lack of vcore.

Don't worry, we're all in this together.

CAS can only be set at boot. I used Memset. I didn't gain 1mhz more with 6-8-8-30 or 6-6-6-15: they are both limited by CAS, despite offical support for 1218mhz.

Today, I'm off to figure out a TME mod for the SLG PLL. Pretty easy considering it's not even mentioned on the datasheet. /sarcasm
