DRAM Refresh Rate
Common Options : 7.8 µsec, 15.6 µsec, 31.2 µsec, 64 µsec, 128 µsec, Auto
Quick Review
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. If the Auto option is selected, the BIOS will query the memory modules' SPD chips and use the lowest setting found for maximum compatibility.
For better performance, you should consider increasing the DRAM Refresh Rate from the default values (15.6 µsec for 128Mbit or smaller memory chips and 7.8 µsec for 256Mbit or larger memory chips) up to 128 µsec. Please note that if you increase the DRAM Refresh Rate too much, the memory cells may lose their contents.
Therefore, you should start with small increases in the DRAM Refresh Rate and test your system after each hike before increasing it further. If you face stability problems upon increasing the refresh interval, reduce the refresh interval step by step until the system is stable.
