Ram Timings off

sharky20ad · 11-25-2008, 03:33 AM

Hi
While trouble shooting a freezing problem i have on my pc i decided to check up on my RAM timing due to a reported problem with certain rRAM timming and my GFX card.

OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Platinum Edition Is m ram i have 3x1gig

the website states the timings as 7-7-7-20
Yet my auto settings show on my Mobo as 9-9-9-24

i was wondering if i should lower them and why there set so high.

Any thoughts would be very helpfull
many thanks

I treid to relax the timings, but seems to make my pc go nuts.

i manage to get as far as logging on the the screen flickers, and goes black.

After that i need to reset.

i tried 8-8-8-24 am i doing something wrong?
