Issue
I've noticed a change in my memory write values on the AIDA64 memory benchmark test since I got my 4960x and RIVE BE. On my 3970x and RIVE I have getting a substantially higher value and wondering what could possible be causing


As a comparison
i7-4960X Extreme HT 4600 MHz Asus Rampage IV Black Edition X79 Quad DDR3-2400 9-11-11-22 CR1 43759 MB/s
i7-3970X Extreme HT 4600 MHz Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79 Quad DDR3-2400 9-11-11-22 CR1 71120MB/s

39535

39536


Also noticed my latency is up on my ram from 48.3ns to about 53ns

When I try and change my T_CWL_ADJ on Mem TweakIT, it just reverts back to 4 - i've seen on the interwebs that this could be causing the write speed issue ?

Thanks for the help

Similar experience upgrading from SB (3960x) to IB-E (4960x) @ same rated DDR3-1600 XMP RAM. I thought it was the transition from SB (which R4E is made for) to IB-E, but it's interesting that you're experiencing the same behavior from 4960x on R4BE which is allegedly made and optimized for IB-E, especially with respect to RAM!

Where do I find this ? I can' see it under my tertiary timings in both Mem Tweakit and the UEFI ?

tRDRD: Sets the delay between consecutive read requests to the same page. From a performance perspective, this setting is best kept at 4 clocks. Relax only if the memory is not stable or the system will not POST. Very few memory modules can handle a setting of 4 clocks at speeds above DDR3-2400 so you may need to relax accordingly, although the performance hit may negate any gains in frequency.

Anyone ? 😞

The hasn't been a response about it yet since I started complaining about it 7-8 months ago.
Board is pretty much useless without the fix.
