SPDTool: Read, Edit and Flash your Memory's SPD

sorry for asking but can i know if its overclock the graphic card or gpu and how
Click to expand...

This app is to edit timings in the ram. Not the ram on a GPU but the sticks installed on the motherboard!

ATI tool. RivaTuner, and Tray tools, even the drivers can overclock GPU's now!
 
Hi,
is it possible to use SPDTool as SPD generator only (no read/write)? I'm looking for a tool to generate SPD data (including checksum) but not from an exiting PC. My motherboard is probably not compatible and I can't open the programme. Do you have a version (or an other tool) that work independantly of motherboard ?

Thanks
 
Hi everyone,

I have a notebook ASUS C90S, recently I upgraded it with 3 Gb ram, this right one : Kingston_3Gb
It's running, Vista knows it has 3 Gb ram, but I'm very disappointed as FSB/DRAM is not equal to 1. :mad:
It is 4/3.
So ram is running at 200, and CPU at 266 .

Is there a way, using SPD Tools or other, to force FSB/DRAM = 1 ?
BIOS didn't offer any setting.

edit : previous ram was also DDR-533, and it ran at same freq as bus CPU. But it was CAS 5.

Thanks

In fact, I suspect Kingston have appointed an SPD with values very cautious, they want to be certain that the machine will operate at every boot, with the fast RAM CAS 4.
But in a laptop bios, no access to set memory.
I do not overclock, I just want my RAM works values of SPD, less than the maximum spd which is a frequency of 333 MHz, and at the same speed as the FSB.

Could someone help me?
I can give the SPD files if you want.

In advance, thank you.

read about & dl the app that you find
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=92190

then you'll know what to change on the SPD
 
Thanks alot, but I already know MemSet.
But MemSet works with windows, not at startup of system.

I expect to find a setting, a tweak, which make RAM working at same speed than BUS CPU.
 
:rolleyes:& if you set the mem to "frequency of 333 MHz, and at the same speed as the FSB."
with memset in windows AND it still runs & don't fry ......then you could use spd tool to set the eeprom on the ram :)

:)Hi,
Thanks,

But, MemSet doesn't offer any setting for frequency ? Only the timing table, but CAS. Is it ?

In fact, I think I'll try some settings with SPDTools, on 1 stick.

Thanks

Hi,

I tried many attempts to set CAS=4 with SPDTools :
Yes, it works, but FSB : DRAM is turn to 4/3, instead of 1:1 with previous RAM (cas5).

Then I found that C90S will not accept DDR2-667 CAS4 if DRAM = FSB.

So, I've better to use MemSet, instead of SPDTool.

Thanks

i will be adding an upload spd feature soon so that there will be an spd database like the bios collection .. people can add comments there and share their overclock reports

what ever happened to that? i wish SPD tool was still around it isnt even in the TPU Software section id atleast add it so people can see what TPU has made i miss this tool i actually found this thread because i googled SPD tool after vaguely remembering a program that could do it like OCZ's but not limited to OCZ memory.
 
^^^^the DL from 1st post work fine most of the time for me :)
 
someone should update this tool so we can fix our ddr3 to work on x58.
 
Thaiphoon Burner 5.1
DDR3 SPD 1.0
(January, 2007), Item JC-45-2065.01
15 day trial but it might not suport System Management Bus on the ich10/x58

what sucks is i dont have a non x58 board to mod them on and idk if they will post on the x58.
 
give 'er a go on the 58 & + your legs
 
i did get a No memory modules found. Incompatible SMbus driver, but all i had to do was go into bios and go to security and look around to see if the SMbus is hidden from system or not, cause if it is then you cant do anything even if you have the proper drivers, just make sure that you have checked out the security settings in bios that SMbus is not hidden from system.

i am just a bit worried about using this tool cause i do see a few things that dont look right. i used another tool that had limited editing ability but got the job done. my mobo is a older HP D530 SFF P4 i865G chipset.

since HP locks or hides most of the adjustments in bios i have no other way to adjust my ram (cant adjust the voltage anyway shape or form in bios (it limits to 2.5v). i would love to find a way to unlock the hidden features in this bios so i can start adjusting settings.

madmax try this on that bios had some luck with it on the 865's a while back

that is very interesting. but one thing i cant seem to locate is the iflash for the i865G chipset, i did find one on intels site to download but i cant extract the files, the program wants to flash.
 
Frogger said:
MM you need to extract the iflash file to get to the bios to load into the itk did you watch the vid from intel????

will tell all you need [almost}

i was downloading the wrong one, i finally downloaded the iFlash version. So doing this will replace the HP bios with a intel bios, from reading i though you had to have the same version of intel bios already flashed before you could do this. or am i reading wrong
