Act Bank A to B CMD Delay

Common Options : 2 Cycles, 3 Cycles

Details

The name Act Bank A to B CMD Delay is actually short for Active Bank A to Active Bank B Command Delay. This feature controls the delay between successive ACTIVE commands to different memory banks (tRRD). The shorter the delay, the faster the next bank can be activated for read or write operations.

Therefore, it's recommended that you use the lower value of 2 cycles for a shorter delay between bank activations and consequently, higher DRAM performance. However, not all DRAM modules can work properly with the lower value of 2 cycles and may exhibit stability problems. When that happens, just revert back to the 3 cycles.
