Hi guys,
I have a GA-8PE667 motherboard with 2 sticks of Kingston DDR400 memory that I've set in BIOS to be CL2.5-7-3-3 timings. In Aida32 and Sisoft Sandra though, the timings are shown to be 2.5-6-2-2 instead. Is this correct? If I set any of the timings any faster in BIOS, the system would be unstable.
