Yes, this applies to all 848/865/875 variants. The 845 not quite - it's a previous generation. It does have fast CS, CPC and tRD though. But not quite PAT. And some limited subtimings. I didn't try for high FSB. Previous tests were with just below 300 which is more than enough for 95% of CPUs.

You can see some of my tests at 290MHz FSB with PAT enabled. https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/threads/netburst-evolution-pentium-iv-m-478-479-xeon-603-604-stammtisch.1281326/post-30209129 But yes, a more detailed analysis would be nice - how far does each chipset setting allow you to...

@Masterchief79 I can give you some chipset tweaks if you want and if you show a WPCREDIT screenshot. @digitalbath so I wanted to study PAT a bit more. I'm still working on it but I've finally compared 865 and 875. Setup: P4P800 rev. 1.02, P4C800-E rev. 2.00, both running my benchBIOS 1.2...

@Tzk please, correct the marking for Hynix ETR-E3C. For x16 chips it should be H5DU5162ETR-E3C. Thank you in advance.

I think it is because Trp was moved to 60h and Trp and Trcd became 2-byte, not 1-byte like before (KT266-333). I've had this issue with KM400 and KM400A - wrong Trp and Tras was shown. Also I always recommend tweaking 6A=FF, gives a slight boost. But I think you should compare registers and SIPs...

Another thing to check is that you are using the same version of Everest. Some versions give weird numbers and cannot be compared to others. I see nothing obvious in the registers. @MadYoshi you have checked you board with 1CPU and 1 memory stick, am I right? And nothing changed?

This is standard for most VIA chipsets: 50, 51 = FF Memory timings (64-67 but only those that are really populated by RAM modules) = 12 6A=FF This should already fix 95% of performance problems. With bad RAM these settings might not work, it's the perfect case to reach.

Thank you. Yes, the CAB1E/CAB2E are an interesting case for overclocking. But since AMD decided to make then seem as normal Venice CPUs, it's almost impossible to detect them by software. I think we can identify them by K8 manufacturing ID (CPU-Z txt report shows this value) but I didn't have...

@Tzk , I remember you tried different memory chips on NF2. Could you remind, how did they behave? Anything worth interest besides Winbond?

Biostar 865g micro 775.

@Tzk @digitalbath @WMDK since it's about AMD, I'll post here. This is one of the good sources about microcode update disassembling and modification. https://files.samantaz.fr/useful_knowledge/studies/usenix/sec17-koppe.pdf It explains CPU microcode ROM, microcode update structure and what...

I've written an article about all those blanks in the Athlon 64 we had so far. Enjoy it if you like the AMD K8 architecture. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1el2MxtWsXVTsgcw0ql7OWZZO0akG1Dm0qUaHWqo4x2U/

Yes, XP has microcode update too. So you want to disable it so it doesn't interfere with the tests. You could try this method (7.2). I've used registry to disable it. Let me know if the device manager method won't work, I'll look for the registry. Thank you for the input about solder/paste...

In fact, it is like assembler, bytecode. At least for AMD there were studies that reverse-engineered microcode updates. I'll give a link if I find it in my notes. Very unlikely. I don't think microcodes are related to FSB. Sometimes yes, some undocumented MSR control various features (think...

I'd suggest to try relax subtimings first of all tRC and tRFC, should give a nice improvement on 512Mbit chips. Very impressive results though. Would be interesting to know their voltage scaling too.
