BIOS Setup
Drive Value:
This item allows you to adjust the memory data drive strength. You can key in the HEX number into this
section. The minimum number is 0000, and maximum number is 00FF.
DIMM1-4 CMD Drive Control:
Two options are available: Auto or Manual. The default setting is Auto. This item can allow you to use
auto or manual method to control the DIMM1 to DIMM4 command drive strength. If you set to Manual,
then the next item will be available.
DIMM1&2 CMD Drive:
This item allows you to adjust the memory data drive strength. You can key in the HEX number into this
section. The minimum number is 0000, and maximum number is 00FF. Adjust the drive strength for
command sent to DDR SDRAM (This adjustment for DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 only). This will depend on
your DDR SDRAM specification and numbers to set. More DDR SDRAM DIMM installed, you may set
it to higher values.
DIMM3&4 CMD Drive:
This item allows you to adjust the memory data drive strength. You can key in the HEX number into this
section. The minimum number is 0000, and maximum number is 00FF. Adjust the drive strength for
command sent to DDR SDRAM (This adjustment for DIMM 3 and DIMM 4 only). This will depend on
your DDR SDRAM specification and numbers to set. More DDR SDRAM DIMM installed, you may set
it to higher values.
DRAM Access:
Two options are available: 2T
access time cycle, 2T can let you get quick DRAM acess time than 3T, and 3Tis a general DRAM setting.

it to 2T Command for system compatibility or to 1T Command for system performance.
Write Recovery time:
Two options are available: 2T or 3T. The default setting is 3T. This is the period between two write times.
DRAM tWTR:
Two options are available: 1T or 3T. The default setting is 3T. This is the Internal WRITE to READ
command delay time period.
DCLK Output Delay:
Eight options are available: 0 ps
ps. The default setting is 0 ps. The northbridge will send an output signal to clock buffer of DRAM
3T. The default setting is 3T. This item allow you to choose the DRAM
