The PC uses an Intel CPU yeah, specifically the one I have in my system is an Intel Core i7-4790S.
You are saying I can use FPT Tool to do what exactly?
Edit: nevermind I see what it is now. Just googled it lol
So, I just flashed the Modified BIOS using FPT Tool and I can safely say it worked.
I wont…to you or any other user. Keep in mind that this tool writes whatever is told too, bad or wrong, do perform backups and learn the tool cmd switches.
That’s all, good luck.
EDIT: Glad the tool/method served you to achieve your goals.
I know, I was just letting you know that it flashed successfully and the BIOS is working. I already made sure to backup the original BIOS to a flash drive as well as an external HDD before attempting anything, but it does work. Sadly though, it isn’t fixing my RAM frequency issue, but I at least have more options to tinker with.
What kind of ram do you have bro? the factory ram? You should be able to use xmp profiles. If you want to use those profiles and still set command rate to 1 or nmode. Select xmp profile first save and restart. Then go back to bios flip the profile to custom. Then you can set command rate with xmp profile as starting template.
There isn’t a way to manually set dimm voltage sadly. However there seems to be a way to get around it. Just try to make sure the ram modules have a higher voltage rating to start with.
For instance if you ram has 1.5 volts you should be able to get 1600mhz frequency. But if the ram you have has a default voltage of 1.65 you should be able to get around 2400mhz.
The ram I have is corsair vengeance. The default frequency was 1333mhz got it to 1600. Here’s the timings.
tCL=8
tRCD=9
tRP=8
tRAS=21
tRC=29
tRFC=139
tRRD=4
tWR=6
tWTR=4
tRTP=3 “requires grub to set lower than 4”
fFAW=16
tCWL=6
tREFI=65535 “requires grub to set higher than 10000”
As for cpu if you had a 4790k. you can disable power limits. and even use throttlestop to set voltage. Doing this I was able to get 4200mhz all core. as opposed to default 4000mhz. It limits all core ratio to 42 and 44 for 2 core. that’s why i didn’t go higher.
