BEMP profile not available with AP38G16082K

[tc0566]

I have an MSI 970A-G45 motherboard with latest bios, an AMD FX 8120 processor.
Why does AMD overdrive have BEMP grayed out.It is 4.1 the latest version as well.Please help.This memory will not run at the advertised latency of 8-8-8-24 either all tests show it must be run at 9-9-9-28 even with voltage at 1.9 it is unstable

Hello,

Can you try flashing the board to the latest bios? Do the stickers on your module say 8-8-8? It should be 8-9-8. http://patriotmemory.com/products/de...id=1171&type=1

Can you try setting it to 8-9-8 to see if this will work? If you are still having issues, try setting TRFC to 300 ns.

As far as BEMP, can you make sure that you have all of the latest drivers installed? (Chipset, sata, lan etc)

Let me know if this helps.

Hi tc0566,

Hmmm... those pictures are not what our product looks like. Can you please confirm that this is what your label says? Where did you purchase the memory from? Our version of the AMD Memory definitely should be 8-9-8, please advise.

Can you please double-check and/or provide the pictures of your modules?

Ours will say "powered by Patriot" and not "Partner XYZ." Please advise.

[tc0566]

yes that is exactly what my memory looks like it was bought from tiger direct
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=1818722
there is the link but they say built by patriot not powered by and the memory timings do say 8-9-8-24
I have it set to these memory timings and working but why no BEMP in AMD overdrive?
Well can someone explain why the Bemp setting is grayed out or should I return the memory?

Hello,

Thanks for providing the exact screenshots. Can you see if manually setting up (1600 8-9-8) the timings work?
The only thing we can suggest is to contact AMD in regards to why the profile is not picking up.
Our Engineers have verified that they indeed have our latest profiles.
Since the the profiles are net-dependent, there could be an issue with their server database.

Well a new update came out for my bios 2 days ago and actually as far as overclocking these baby's rock 2000 9-10-9-28 and perfectly stable at 1.7 volts still no BEMP though

[Patriot_Ben]

Yeah unfortunately as far as the BEMP, the issue might lie with the CPU manufacturer.

But thanks for the update... 2000MHz out of these! Nice!

...Let me know if you have any further questions. I'll be glad to help.
