Add setting tCWL as an step for finding a baseline #22

Closed Leemonn closed 4 years ago

Leemonn commented 4 years ago

Hello, I'm an Intel user and I've been running my b-die kit at 18-17-17-38 for a few days until I realized "what if I first set tCWL to an even number because maybe MAYBE my mobo was setting it to an odd number and that's what caused instability". So now I am at c15 which is WAY better. I followed each step but I think this is very important to do to find a baseline. Something like: On Intel:

I think what you're asking is already in the guide:

Some motherboards don't play nice with odd tCWL. For example, I'm stable at 4000 15-19-19 tCWL 14, yet tCWL 15 doesn't even POST. Another user has had similar experiences.

Yep but that's after you change the primary timings. If you follow the steps you will read the tCWL thing too late. That's why I think it should be specified BEFORE changing primary timings.

Thank you! Also if you have time accept me on Discord (Lemon), I don't know if you are interested but I can make MemTestHelper work again with latest version of MemTest ;)

Thanks but I don't want to play cat and mouse with the HCI devs.
