Sorry for not mentioning! No, you do not need to do anything that guide is talking about, other than use it to learn how to use and work with RU program
That guide is meant for another purpose (bypassing locks that block flashing in mod BIOS), we only use it so you know how RU works, to then directly make the change I outlined above

* Edit - So, no change in CPU-z memory tab, at all? Show me image of CPU-z Memory tab, with XMP1 or XMP2 set
We may have to set it all manually instead, which is not a big issue, but you'll have to make a lot more edits at once.
I will help you and outline all the info for this tomorrow when I get back in and have more time Meantime, please wait, so you don't break anything

no no change at all im afraid, i will wait, thanks again

OK, thanks! It may be this >> First try, change this!
OverClocking Feature, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x1B7 >> Change 00 to >> 01 to enable Overclocking Feature
^^ This is in "CPUSetup" >> B08F97FF-E6E8-4193-A997-5E9E9B0ADB32

Then test that as-is, only change, with XMP1 or XMP2 again. If no change, OK, still leave it at 01/enabled, then below move onto setting up memory manually later when I have time to finish out all the info for you

@evofq360 - Never mind above! I see XMP changes applied in the image you attached above! Timings are now changed to XMPO profile #1 >> 17-19-19 there, vs 19-21-21-21 before!
So maybe just max speed of your chipset is limited to 2933

I will still write out all info I was in middle of, so you can adjust everything manually

really appreciate it,

thanks

@evofq360 - You're welcome!

If you want to confirm these changes are being applied before trying to overclock or make actual changes, enter the values selected in blue below, these are current/stock in-use settings and or one less (IE one lower timing, or one memory speed lower etc)
Just so you can see changes happen, before you try to apply what you want. But, as I pointed out above, as soon as you enabled XMP the timings changed to correct values, just speed was limited to it's current max, either by CPU or chipset.
So you'll have to use that as Max speed and tighten timings, or lower speeds and tighten timings even more, or it may be possible that one of the combos below (100x something or 133 x something) will get you to 3000 or 3200

Memory profile, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x134 << Set 01 = Custom
QCLK Odd Ratio, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x0F << Set 01 Enabled
Memory Reference Clock, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x0C << Set/leave 133 (00) default, or can set 100 (01) This is what you are multiplying the memory timer against
Memory Ratio, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x0E << Set based on one of these scenarios below, using variable hex values in hex in (xx)'s
If memory reference clock set to 100 then following = memory speeds after memory ref clock x memory ratio
100 x 26 (1A) = 2600
100 x 27 (1B) = 2700
100 x 28 (1C) = 2800
100 x 29 (1D) = 2900
100 x 30 (1E) = 3000
100 x 31 (1F) = 3100 This is max for 100 memory ref clock, due to max memory ratio = x31

133 x 20 (14) = 2666
133 x 21 (15) = 2800 (2793 actual)
133 x 22 (16) = 2926 - This is what is currently being applied value by stock/default, see the 1:22 FSB:DRAM in CPU-z memory tab, that is this. So you can set this manually and speed will remain as it is now
133 x 23 (17) = 3059
133 x 24 (18) = 3200 (3192 actual)

tCL, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x10 << CAS Latency (First timing) >> to set this to actual 17 you apply >> (11) and so on >> 14 (0E), 15 (0F), 16 (10), 17 (11), 18 (12), 19 (13), 20 (14), 21 (15), 22 (16), 23 (17), 24 (18) (MAX)
tRCD/tRP, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x16 << Second and third main timing, they are combined only in this BIOS, you can't set separately. Same as above ^^ (MAX = 63 (3F), see below for many values) >> Stock/auto value was 21 (15)
tRAS, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x14 << 35 (23), 36 (24), 37 (25), 38 (26), 39 (27), 40 (28), 41 (29), 42 (30), 42 (2A), 43 (2B), 44 (2C), 45 (2D), 46 (2E), 47 (2F), 48 (30), 49 (31), 50 (32), 51 (33), 52 (34), 53 (35), 54 (36), 55 (37), 56 (38), 57 (39), 58 (3A), 59 (3B), 60 (3C), 61 (3D), 62 (3E), 63 (3F), 64 (40), 65 (41), 66 (42), 67 (43), 68 (44), 69 (45), 70 (46), 71 (47), 72 (48), 73 (49), 74, (4A), 75 (4B) 76 (4C), 77 (4D), 78 (4E), 79 (4F), 80 (50), 81 (51), 82 (52), 83 (53), 84 (54), 85 (55), 86 (56), 87 (57), 88 (58), 89 (59), 90 (5A) >> Max = 90 (5A)

tCWL, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x11 34 (22) MAX
tRFC, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x19 1023 (3FF) MAX - Stock/Auto value was 514 (202) << This would go into 16-bit hex as Little Endian (backwards) and would occupy two byte spaces 0x19 and 0x1A. So 02 02 = 202, or more accurately = 0202 - This is set by default to this value, so you should see 02 02 at 0x19-0x1A

Memory Voltage, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x3 << Default 1.20V (B0 04) >> 1.10V (4C 04), 1.20V (B0 04), 1.25V (E2 04), 1.30V (14 05), 1.35V (46 05), 1.40V (78 05), 1.45V (AA 05), 1.50V (DC 05), 1.55V (0E 06), 1.60V (40 06), 1.65V (72 06)

Major Important thing to keep in mind here, ALL values are in HEX
You can use windows calculator in programmer mode to see what hex value is for any decimal value.
Select the decimal option and enter value, then up top you will see the decimal value you enter but above that you'll also see it's hex equivalent.

so where are all these values being changed? in RU?

Yes, change with RU same as you did for XMP, and all settings in above post #20 are in same location I gave you before at post #14 >> SaSetup is in this GUID >> 72C5E28C-7783-43A1-8767-FAD73FCCAFA4
The only setting I've mentioned that is NOT in SaSetup, is the OC one I gave you at post #18 (it's location is mentioned in that post)

Each bold black item above is the offset/location for that setting, which you find in SaSetup with RU, then change as you wish with above info

so let me make sure im doing this correctly, if i wanted to set dram multiplayer to 24 (24x133) i would enter 18 @ 0x0E?
QCLK Odd Ratio, 0x0F << Set 01 Enabled
could i only make these changes along with setting xmp profile to custom (01) and see if it changes, without making all other changes too to start with?

So as example in pic (0x0E) would be at this location in green?

also does this mean if bios gets updated these value would need to be inputted again?


on a side not whilst using RU the laptop automatically reboots after about 2mins, so i have to be quick entering all values, is this normal? it only does it whilst using RU


please could you check these values below before i input to make sure theyre correct

UEFI SASETUP

@evofq360 - " if i wanted to set dram multiplayer to 24 (24x133) i would enter 18 @ 0x0E? " << Exactly! However, memory speed may not change, if chipset/CPU and or something else (Maybe Qclock ODD) is causing that to be limited to current speed, with that 133 multi (
You'd have to test and see if 100 multi goes any higher, AND Both 100/133 need tested with XMP Profile applied too, but maybe save that until then end once you're more familiar with changing all this

As to your second question, YES, you can make any number of these changes in any combo you want, to try and see what works best for you and or this system.
I'd loosen up the timings and raise the voltage a bit before you try 3200, since it didn't work right off the bat with XMP, but as mentioned there may be any number of reasons for that.
And yes, your example pic shows 0x0E selected

About the 2 minute reboot, not sure what you mean? Do you mean if/when using RU? If yes, not sure, maybe that's normal for RU? I've only used it briefly, and maybe not for 2 minutes. I'll test tonight and let you know
Yes, if you reflash stock BIOS, or even load optimal defaults, all this is reset to stock settings.
And yes, your examples all look correctly outline

update: neither of the two lots of settings i tried in previous post changed anything at all, 3100 or 3200mhz with or without xmp profiles enabled, so looks like im stuck at 2926mhz and just try to lower timings.

Yes, 2926mhz may be the limit. Did you also already enable OC setting I mentioned, and enable Qclk Odd Ratio too? Did you also raise voltage any?
Did system double reboot, or seem to take longer on save/reboot, any of the times you were trying that? If yes, then it may just be failing due to not enough voltage, or timings too tight for current speed+configuration (board, voltages, CPU itself etc)

If 2926mhz limit, then yes, your only option is to tighten timings carefully, or lower the memory speed and tighten timings there.
You may be able to get better timings, better performance/benchmark scores at a lower speed vs whatever you can get at max speed.

* Edit @evofq360 - This looks to already be set to nothing, ie not set, which is why I didn't mention before, but go ahead and set this to much higher speed than you can run anyway, to rule this out as possible cause of the 29xx limit
Maximum Memory Frequency, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x132 << Set A0 0F = 4000MHz (Set 132-133 >> A0 0F)

why does laptop keep asking for bitlockerkey code on reboot? yes it did double reboot sometimes, i didnt increase voltage at all as kingston show 1.2v for 3200mhz

also when i enter into windows sometimes the timings arent set to xmp 1 eventhough its set in RU 0x134 02 for xmp 1 which previously worked with lower timings we tested.

do i need to keep secure boot permanantly off, if so how do i stop it asking for the bitlocker key on reboot once i remove usb drive

i did try to enable cpu overclocking you suggested post 18 but it didnt show in bios

@evofq360 Be sure you see my edit above
Bitlocker? Not sure, sounds like you enabled it in windows, disable it until you are done if this is something you use.
Remove any USB you have in there, or make a new clean USB Stick with your current RU stuff on it again, so there's no bitlocker stuff on it.
I've never used it, so I can't advise on that, you'll have to google how to disable it if you are not sure.

If timings are not what you set, then it's a failed OC situation, due to incorrect settings applied somewhere, or something too tight and it failed so defaults were loaded etc.
If you are setting things manually now, and done messing with XMP for testing purposes, you can disable XMP (ie set custom instead), that way XMP settings you are not changing are not applied and possibly causing issues with what you are changing
Secure boot needs to be off only while you are playing with RU

I never mentioned CPU Overclocking, only to enable OC Feature setting instead of it being disabled (This is not something you see in BIOS, since we can't edit BIOS menu)

So I did as you instructed but now it won’t boot. I get black screen when switches on and that’s it. I can’t enter bios or anything

@evofq360 - Well, at least it lasted this long, I assumed you'd post that exact reply back, right after I very first showed you how to do any of this at post #20 (Due to trying wrong speed, or too tight of timing right away, etc)
What exactly did you do, that you're saying I told you to do? Sounds like you may have pushed too far, too low of timings or too low on voltage etc. Or, possibly changed wrong offset value.
Sorry to hear this happened, you will now need CH341A + SOIC8 / SOP8 test clip with cable to fix, let me know if you need linked examples. Can you boot to DOS or Shell?
