there is no 2250 strap, but nice card there if you can go over 2200mhz

I think you are off by +1 with the MR0 CAS latency. SEQ_CAS_TIMING has CL=21(0x15) for the 1625 strap, and CL=22(0x16) for the 1750 strap.
Excuse my ignorance, but where is a 22 or 21 on 0x2014030B, or a 23 or 22 on 0x20140514 ?
22 binary is 10110, 21 binary is 10101, 23 binary is 10111, none of those patterns are in any of those two numbers... what am i missing?
The CAS latency in MR0 is just four bits (A3-A6), so it is based on a table lookup. H5GQ1H24AFR supported all possible latencies from 5 to 20. Micron's EDW4032BABG brief says "Programmable CAS latency: 6–27", so some latencies in the range cannot be programmed. I don't have a Samsung datasheet for the K4G4 series (or any Samsung for that matter), so I would have to reverse-engineer the values from the straps by comparing the MR0 values to CL from SEQ_CAS_TIMING.

Hope it helps, boring part of the work done
BTW, i think this bios has a 2250 strap also, once i get to 2250mhz mem it gets back to 26 mh even after copying 1750 straps to 2000

you could link the ohgod decoder and checksum fixer i compiled, so some windows guys could use it too.
I compiled the tool too but that isn't working too well on win without some rewriting

For the lazy fools out there, I whipped up a cgi version of my strap mod utility.

I'm still not sure how I can know which samsung mem chips I can use the custom strap timing posted recently in this thread for (or more specifically which samsung mem chips i CANNOT use the strap for).
It was said to be used for K4G4, and old 8gb ref cards.
I've looked in Polaris bios editor and noticed on 2 different cards of mine, both samsung mem, they both start with K4G4 but have different characters after those 4.
Another odd thing I tried before I read here was using the custom strap on my new sapphire 470 4gb nitro (samsung mem) and it seems to be working. Odd thing being the default 1750 strap for this nitro is different from the default 1750 of the older samsung chips that this strap seemed to be said to be designed for.
Overall, how can I tell which samsung mem chips may not be stable with this? (and same for the hynix one recommended here)

You can do the same mods; RRD=5, ACTRD=16, FAW&32AW=0. If you can't understand the offsets, just use my mod tool:
https://github.com/nerdralph/strapread/blob/master/strapmod.py
Thanks how do I run this in Windows? I'm assuming I just enter in like the default 1500 or 1750 strap and this mods it as an output text?
It takes the strap to modify as an argument, and prints out the modified strap (along with info about the old and new values in the strap).

Thanks, maybe I wasn't clear though. I understand it is supposed to work on both versions, my question is about newer gpus with "different samsung chips" like it seems my nitro has a different samsung chip but may still be compatible

It appears I can control memory voltage! Sweet!
Did you have to directly control it via i2c, or was it easier than that?
Yes and no. Used the VBIOS.
00 8D ** 00 VDDC control
00 8E ** 00 MVDDC Control
you can easily add it into the rom.

It's based on the 1625 strap, since the 1500 strap wasn't stable for me beyond 1875.
That's very strange, I have several rx with hynix and the 1500 strap is the most stable at least up to 2050.Maybe your cards have better cooling for the RAM? This is an Asus Strix. After tuning the 1625 strap, it was stable at ~27.2Mh with a 1950 mem clock. Now I'm testing 2000.
If it's a Strix you might have memory voltage control, have you tried/checked this?
I believe their custom VRM chip does control the memory voltage, but I haven't looked into it much. Since the RAM is not cooled (no thermal connection to the heatsink), I thought bumping the memory voltage would make things worse. The tuned 1625 strap is working quite well so far. It tested OK at 2000, and now I'm trying 2050.
Once I've found the limit, I may look into the memory voltage to control power use, and see if it is stable with lower memory voltages.
I have a Strix, pretty sure it doesn't work.
EDIT: Wait... wait... there's something here....

It's based on the 1625 strap, since the 1500 strap wasn't stable for me beyond 1875.
That's very strange, I have several rx with hynix and the 1500 strap is the most stable at least up to 2050.Maybe your cards have better cooling for the RAM? This is an Asus Strix. After tuning the 1625 strap, it was stable at ~27.2Mh with a 1950 mem clock. Now I'm testing 2000.
If it's a Strix you might have memory voltage control, have you tried/checked this?
I believe their custom VRM chip does control the memory voltage, but I haven't looked into it much. Since the RAM is not cooled (no thermal connection to the heatsink), I thought bumping the memory voltage would make things worse. The tuned 1625 strap is working quite well so far. It tested OK at 2000, and now I'm trying 2050.
Once I've found the limit, I may look into the memory voltage to control power use, and see if it is stable with lower memory voltages.
I have a Strix, pretty sure it doesn't work.
EDIT: Wait... wait... there's something here....
