    I would say you could tighten your timings as they are set to auto. Your ram is running a little more slowly than it could but should be fine as long as the voltage is not too high.

    Read this from this page. Should provide your specs which you can enter in your bios. The anacronyms will tally over into your bios. if unsure leave to auto. (I could not open the pdf so it may not be helpful).

    There could be more info on the corsair page.

    CPU-z is very useful to check your timings and PC stuff in general in windows. Wikipedia with all the links for details on how memory works for further readings.

    If your running at spec you can up the voltage for the next step up in speed, however Ram speed does not give a noticeable increase, and running the ram out of spec may mean you'll need more if they burn out.

    I'll would check the timings on the sticks and match them in the bios

    The timings and the rated voltage are printed on the side of the module. Set the voltage manually and set the rated timings as shown in the 2nd picture you posted above. 11-11-11-29 should be 9-9-9-24. Leave everrything else as is.

    Also, you aren't going to "burn" anything at the rated voltage. Don't go above this voltage and you have no worries.

    thanks for the replys,

    ok i see that its 9-9-9-24 and voltage 1.65

    but my motherboard go's in 2's so i can either get 1.64 or 1.66 not 1.65 .. so go with 1.64 ?

    also what ones do i change to make it 9-9-9-24 not changed them before.

    See my last post. Also, 1.66v is perfectly safe.

    I am sorry but I am stumped here. I have posted it 3 times now at least. I am not sure what it is that you are missing.

    ok my settings are currently 11-11-11-29 ok ?

    you are saying i am wanting 9-9-9-24 ?

    i am asking what i need to change in the timings page to get this to 9-9-9-24

    TCL - AUTO
    TRCD - AUTO
    TRP - AUTO
    TRAS - AUTO
    TRTP - AUTO
    TRC - AUTO
    TWR - AUTO
    TRRD - AUTO

    is it these i need to change from Auto to something to get 9-9-9-24 ? if so could you tell me what i am changing please ?

    TCL - 9
    TCRD - 9
    TRP - 9
    TRAS - 24

    Is that correct ?

    then change voltage to 1.66

    Have you read your manual where it explains the settings shown in the picture above? All of this is covered in the manual and details how to make these changes on your motherboard.

    Again, in your picture, 11-11-11-29-6-41-12-6 corresponds to that list of memory timing properties shown just below it.

    TCL - AUTO
    TRCD - AUTO
    TRP - AUTO
    TRAS - AUTO

    TRTP - AUTO
    TRC - AUTO
    TWR - AUTO
    TRRD - AUTO
