PSC mem on Pentium AE...

Hello ROG!

I'm having huge problems getting PSC RAM to work properly on my Pentium AE(mobo is M7 Ranger). I can't even get the timings/clock I run on Sandy bridge up and running. Unfortunately there are no presets in bios for different mem like on all other ROG motherboards I've owned.

When I change something(say the mem clock) it seems like the motherboard changes sub-timings and nothings in place and I'm not skilled enough to time every timing manually. The primary and secondary I can do but the rest I have yet to learn(and it's these timings that the mobo seems to change around from boot to boot).

The cpu works fine with my tridentX kit(HYK0) and it'll boot that @2933Mhz or 2666Mhz CL9 so the IMC shouldn't be to weak. I think I should at least get 7-11-7-28 T1 @2400Mhz up and running, tWCL 8. I've tried really loose timings just to see if I can get it booting at higher clocks but no luck at all. I've got 3 kit's and they all do well in other systems so there's nothing wrong with the mem kits.

Any help much appreciated!

Ok, I've made some progress. 2400Mhz CL7. Had to set secondary and tertiary timings manually. So here's something for you all to begin with running PSC w/o preset profiles.

No problem 🙂 I used the values from screenshots on KP forums mostly, and tweaked them.

I still can't get PSC booting above 2400Mhz though, even with super loose timings and unhealthy levels of Vdimm.

The IMC on the Pentium AE is not as good as on a real haswell but it can boot the tridentX @2933Mhz. I've also got some OEM sticks with samsung HCH9 ic's and they work fine 2400Mhz CL9 w/o having to set all the subtimings manually.

I'll never let go of my PSC!! 🙂 They work great in quad on X79, and also on SB.

I'll probably end up getting a real haswell cpu.

The Pentium AE is great fun to OC, especially my chip 😄

My bad. Had a look over the Ranger's BIOS last night. I guess I was confusing it with the M6G's BIOS that I was previously overclocking on. How embarrassing. LOL
