Hi Dale, thanks for your info! :) I think it is called "Auto" with the MSI bios. When using this, JEDEC timings and a command rate of 2 instead of 1 are choosen for DDR4 (as an example)...which isn't optimal. These "Auto" were the reason for better settings. I think I have to tweak the bios settings by hand... Cheers! Meino
