When i look in my bios, my timings are 5-5-5-16. How do i get the ram to run at 4-4-4-12 like they are advertised to run?
I already tried yesterday and my pc would not start, i had to reset cmos.
Any suggestions?

What volts are you running them on?

What frequency are they running at?

What OC you got on your CPU?

What divider are they on?

Everything currently is at stock. I have not overclocked anything yet in this rig because of hard drive problems before

Weird, if they are running stock they should be capable of running them timings.

Post a CPU-Z screeny of your memory please

Wow, that is weird.

There is no reason for them not to run at the stock timings


Only thing i can say is to up the volts a tad bit see if that helps.

Other than that i don't know a fix.

Have you tried manually set the timings? Some motherboards force RAMs to run at the motherboard's stock timings than the RAMs'.

I don't know if your feature is hidden, but it is on my motherboard. I have to press CTRL + F1 to see the options.

yes, i manually set them and my computer did not restart. I restarted cmos and set the timings back to stock and everything was fine

Now that the cpu will run those timings, they will not run the timings with fsb at 1336. Should i lower the timings or raise the voltage or what?

Highest voltage I'd go with HZ's is 2.30, but try to keep it at 2.2-2.25 if you can.

Also, lower timings = tighter, and harder to OC. Currently I'm at 3-3-3-5 with my HZ's. I have the same MB as you, so you shouldn't have a problem.
