This Guide Is For 2GB modules
If you have 1GB modules (IE a 2GB kit with 2x1GB module) and you flash any of the SPD's here you will kill the modules.


If you have 8000 platinum, 8000 Reaper X, or 8500 Reaper and tRFC is set to 46 in SPD you are going to need to reflash the SPD if the bios on your motherboard does not support setting tRFC manually above 46.


SPD tool (works in vista 64 ok also

8000 platinum SPD...tRFC set to 54 clocks (OCZ2P10004GK)

8000 Reaper X with tRFC set to 54 clocks (OCZ2RPX10004GK)

8500 Reaper with Trfc set to 54 clocks (OCZ2RPR10664GK)

Follow this guide to flash, remember though to point SPDtool at the correct files, this guide was written for 1GB modules but the flash procedure is just the same.

you open SPD tool:



Goto File>Open:



Point SPD tool to the SPD you wish to flash, in this case either the unzipped 8000 plat spd or the 8000 reaper X:



Once you hit "Open" on the file you should see an SPD like this, hit the "timing summary" tab at the bottom of SPD tool to expose the timing section, this is a good way to know what timings the SPD will set by default.



Don't worry it does not show what speed and timings EPP will set, only the Jedec portion of the SPD.

Moving on choose File>Write> and choose the first module in the list.



Then SPDtool will prompt you to write the SPD, choose YES and the SPD will be written and verified, once this is complete go to File>Write> and choose the next module down in the list > choose yes to write and wait for it to verify.



If you have 2 modules installed you will have to do this operation once for each module, 4 modules means 4 operations (1 for each)

Now this is the important bit

If the motherboard you are using does NOT support tRFC at all or does not have the ability to set clocks over 42 you need to leave this option in bios by AUTO
The SPD will force 54clocks and you will be able to clock the modules higher easier.

Also with this SPD you may only need 1.8V to get 1000MHZ, don't just set 2.1V as that is what our site or sticker says we quote that for compatibility, please make sure you ONLY set the voltage the memory needs to be stable on your board.
