DRAM Timing Configuration
► DRAM Timing Mode
When both DCTs (DRAM controller) are enabled in unganged mode, BIOS must initialize the
frequency of each DCT in order.
Settings are : [Auto]; [DCT 0]. (appear in AM2 CPU)
Settings are : [Auto]; [DCT 0]; [DCT1]; [Both]. (appear in AM2+ CPU)
► CAS Latency - tCL
The number of memory clocks it takes a DRAM to return data after the read CAS_L is asserted
depends on the memory clock frequency. The value that BIOS programs into the memory con-
troller is a function of the target clock frequency. The target clock frequency is determined from
the supported CAS latencies at given clock frequencies of each DIMM.
► tRCD (RAS-to-CAS Delay)
This item allows you to select a delay time (in clock cycles) between the CAS# and RAS#
strobe signals.
► tRP (Precharge Command Period)
This item allows you to select the row precharge time (in clock cycles).
► tRTP (Internal Read to Precharge Command Delay)
This time allows you to set the delay time (in clock cycles) between read command and pre-
charge command.
► tRAS (Active-to-Precharge Delay)
This item allows you to set the minimum RAS# active time (in clock cycles).
► tRC (Active-to-Active/Auto-Refresh Command Period)
This item allows you to set the row cycle time (in clock cycles). tRC = tRAS + tRP.
► tWR (Write Recovery)
This item allows you to select the write recovery time (in clock cycles).
► tRRD (Active-to-Active of a Different Bank)
This item allows you to select a delay time (in clock cycles) between the RAS# and RAS#
strobe signals.
► tWTR (Internal Write to Read Command Delay)
