Well, I bought a pair of OCZ PC3200 Platinum Edition LE (BH-6/ 2 x 512MB) and it was advertised as 2-2-2-7. However, I couldn't get it up to run at 2-2-2-7 whatsoever (after all the BIOS tweakings and all). I consulted a guy from OCZ and he told me to try 2-2-2-11 so I did and I was able to run it @ 2-2-2-11 stably. He later emailed me that 2-2-2-11 is actually faster than 2-2-2-7 on NF2. (which is what i have, a NF2 system). I tested the above setting with only 1 module.
Why don't the OCZ modules I have run @ advertised timing? Does this cripple this overclockability of the RAM?
I still want a RMA, cu'z it wasn't able to run at the advertised timing, what do you guys think?
Cheers,
Jack

TRAS at 11 on NF2 boards is better than TRAS at 7..i wouldn't worry about this setting as TRCD and TRP are the more important timings
