Question Can't adjust DRAM timings in Award BIOS?

So I upgraded my Mobo to a GIGABYTE GA-G33M-S2L, and all good so far Been able to overclock my Q6700 to 3.3GHz... but for some reason, I can't seem to be able to adjust timings manually...




According the EPP profiles, I should be able to run 4-4-4-12, but I cannot get the "DRAM timings selectable" option in my bios (Award F3B 1/04/2008)... help!

I don't mean to ask the obvious here but you have used CTRL + F1 to open all options right? If so the only other thing I can think is maybe give memset a shot.

Yea, for gigabyte boards, you have to go into the main bios screen, press and hold Ctrl+F1. Then once you go into the M.I.T. screen, memory timing and voltage controls are all there.

Man, what a noob ... Thanks guys. Rep + all!

Pressing CTRL-F1 showed the manual timings. Now memory is set to CAS4:
