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!

I mostly borrowed timings from screenshots i saw though 😉 I'm starting to grasp what the secondary timings do but the tertiary timings I really have no idea 🙂

Yep these are dominator GT 2000 8C, with PSC(powerchip IC's) ic's. I have another kit that's dom. GT 2133 C9 also with PSC IC's. Use them mostly for quad channel on X79.

This little pentium has a pretty decent IMC, 2600Mhz CL8 and 5Ghz on cpu that's not to shabby.

I have been using a Hero in my daily rig, I really like the board, my only complaint is no memory presets. My MVII formula has the memory presets, I tried GSkill pi and Patriot psc memory on the Formula last night, 2600 cl8, 2400 cl7 and 4 sticks at 2400 cl8 all worked fine, if you need screenshots of all the timings Let me know

That's what I miss on the Ranger also.

Would love some screenshots of the mem profiles. Got a hold of another PSC kit the other day, G.skil ripjaws X, $20 🙂 Doesn't seem to be as good as the two other Dom. GT kits though.
