Hi all,
So my confusion regarding my ram is that i'm not really sure what is best to run it at when it comes to timings and voltage.
The ram in question is "Corsair Dominator 4x2GB set" CMD8GX3M4A1333C7 to be exact.
Now the stickers on the side of this ram (And their website details) says timing = 7-7-7-20. And voltage = 1.6v. If i allow my bios to configure it automatically it sets it at 9-9-9-24, 1.5v. But i can/could set it all to its specified settings if i wanted but i am worried that the slightly higher voltage may damage somthing. Personally i would rather have it at its specified settings as i have had a few issues were my mouse pointer and windows in general would freeze for a few seconds on the auto settings. With the tighter timings and 1.6 voltage the freezes are very minimal. Someone may be able to shed some light on this issue with another solution but i'm leaning towards ram setting myself.
So anyway. What should i set things at and why?
My specs are:
i7-2600 (non K)
Asus P8H67 (this was swapped for the later version due to the first H67 boards having the SATA issues)
8Gb (4x2Gb) Corsair dominator 1333MHz
2x Seagate 500Gb 7200 rpm HDD
Asus GTX 560 (non Ti)
Corsair TX850W
Thank you for any information in advance
