new memory issue

I'm not an expert on memory timings and such so forgive me if this is a basic question...I recently bought a set of G.Skill DDR 3 1600 memory with advertised timings of 7-8-7-24-2N...the reason I went with that memory is because of its low latency timings

when I put the memory in my system (at stock settings) it booted up with timings of 9-9-9-24...is this normal and do I have to go in and manually change the timings to get the rated specs?...or do I have to change my memory frequency to 1600 or maybe change the command rate to 2T?

in the CPU-Z SPD tab there is a list of different memory timings (JDEC #2, #3 #4 etc) with timings much closer to G.Skill's specs...what do these mean?...are these timings that my computer can handle safely?...here is a screenshot



again sorry for the newbishness but I really want to be able to get closer to the 7-8-7-24 specs
