My RAM (OCZ Platinum Rev2), is rated at 4-4-4-15 @ 800MHz.

When I look at the timings table on CPU-Z, it shows that for 800MHz, I should run at: 5-5-5-15, and 22TAS.

My FSB is currently at 825, and I'm a little unsure what to run at. Would attempting to run at 4-4-4-15 be a bad idea, since the ram is only rated at that timing for 800FSB? Should I do 5-5-5-15 since I'm above 800? What about my TAS?

Try it. You never know. Try 4-4-4-15 at 825 (by the way, your FSB is definitely not at 825, you are likely multiplying by two) and run memtest86 for a few hours and Orthos blend overnight and see if you get any errrors. It's all trial and error, change something a little, trial and error again.

Typo, I meant 425. Thanks for the advice though.
