[Tech ARP] BIOS Option Of The Week - DRAM Refresh Rate

news · September 13, 2014

Dear editor,

We have just posted the *BIOS Option Of The Week - DRAM Refresh Rate*.

Quote : Since 1999, we have been developing the BIOS Optimization Guide,

affectionately known as the BOG. From a meagre beginning of a single page,

it now covers over 440 BIOS options. As old BOG readers will know, we

started offering two editions of the BOG since Revision 8.0 - a simplified

edition and the complete edition.

Normally, the complete edition is only available to subscribers who help

sponsor the development of the guide through a small fee. However, that

changes today! From now on, we will post a BIOS option from the complete

edition of the BIOS Optimization Guide every weekend.

This week, we will be taking a look at the *DRAM Refresh Rate *BIOS

setting. Here's an excerpt :

* standards call for a 64 msec refresh cycle, memory chips these days can

actually hold data for longer than that. So, using a longer refresh cycle

is quite possible. With a longer refresh cycle, the memory chips are

refreshed less often, reducing both the amount of bandwidth wasted on

refreshes and the amount of power consumed (which is great for laptops and

other portable devices).This BIOS feature allows you to set the refresh

interval of the memory chips. There are three different settings as well as

an Auto option...*"
