Hi,
to anybody who this concerns, Performance enhance in Gigabyte boards doesnt relate to ram overclock, or not something like that-
IF You are overclocking, as i am..
changing performance enhance from Norm. to turbo / extreme, will unlock fsb wall, how do you know when youve hit this wall,, benchmarking-benchmarking,,
i hit my fsb wall at 416, anything beyond that even 500 fsb, will show you a huge drop in ram ( specific: large ram allocate reading/writing) speed.
Performance enhance Is something to do with northbride, and fsb channels wich are connected to ram directly.
so fsb can run in even in 500 but if the wall is in somewhere lower, 500 doesnt give anything to performance unfortunately...
i would suggest, benchmarking in different fsb levels, 400,, 416
,, 430 etc. try to leave the ram mhz at near same frequencys as possible...

Thanks Sunrazor for the info.
I build non-OC systems and setting it to Standard solved lock-up issues several times. Now I know why Gigabyte boards behave instable with value rams exactly.

I know this is an old post but, THANK YOU! You have solved my instability issue. I was thinking the "extreme" setting was the standard intel extreme profile. My ram passed memtest86 for 36hrs without fault but OCCT and Prime95 continued to give me error's. So again, thank you for the info.

This is not just my advice, the guys over at tweaktown who offer support on gigabyte products and at overclock3d recommend the Normal setting.
Sunrazor is completely right as this is what Gigabyte say.

If you are overclocking your system, then you should definitely use the Normal setting as this is the standard setting. This will allow you to attain the highest overclock possible. Setting it at Turbo or Extreme asks the motherboard to run the memory at tighter timings (i.e. lower latencies) which could in fact reduce overall frequencies.Originally Posted by Sin0822
it should always be at turbo, idk why it would change with XMP, its not an XMP parameter.

Standard mode gives the highest OC clock, but with high latency. Turbo mode gives the best balance between clock speed and latency. Extreme mode delivers the best performance with low latency (but memory clock might be lower as well). "
Seeing that this URL is already down, I might as well copy paste the text from cached wepbage as this feature is still relevant in the present and google search often redirects to this thread.Originally Posted by R35ervoirFox
