RAM Latency question

[CDC Mail Guy]

Another noob question here, so please forgive me in advance. I bought this PQI RAM here

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820141224

with the understanding that lower latency was better, and it shows the cas latency as being 4. Installed the 2 1Gb modules, and PC recognized it immediately. Ran CPUZ, and it shows the following...cas latency as 5

Photos MAY NOT be sfw

5-5-5-15

Can I lower my timings, and if so...how?

is the first column better?

Currently have an ASUS MB running a LGA775 P4 3.6Ghz CPU, OC'd to 3.97Ghz.

Thanks to all for the help, or calling me an idiot...either way!

Boot into the Asus bios and set the memory timings to manual to match what is in the middle column on the cpu-z screenshot. Afterwards test for stability.

Okay, I did that, but although the frequency went up, the clocks all stayed the same. It looks like all I can do is change the clocks to 3-4-5, except the last can be changed up to 15 clocks.

PIC NSFW...I wanted you all to see my Halloween screen!

There SHOULD be a way to just increase the frequency to 266 shouldn't there?

Change them in the Asus bios by choosing manual and set the correct latencies to 4-4-4-12. Try saving those 3+MB .bmp screenshots as a .jpg to save bandwidth. IRFanview will allow you to paste the screen captures and save as .jpg or another compressed file.

I was wondering why it took so D'dam long to load them! lol
