hey guys dad and i each got a set of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS

we are both running phenom II 955 cpu's running at stock, at the moment we are running the sticks at 1333 speed which bios put them to that on auto 9-9-9-24 timings.

if i up the speed for the sticks to 1600 we get auto timings of 11-11-11-29
and if i change any of the timings to the rated ones and the voltage to 1.65 for them, my main board refuses to boot with a memory error beep.

am i right in thinking 1600 with tight timings might be too much for the phenom II memory controller, or my mainboard?

should i just stick to 1333 with tight timings or go for 1600 with very slack ones?

my mainboard is a gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P dads mother board is an asus am3 one but produces same slack timings as my one when memory is set to 1600.
 
well that is one thing i never manually checked in my bios, the t1 or 2 command rate was set to auto

and every time i messed with timings etc i forgot to switch it to t2 and left it on auto.

i guess ill try switching memory to right timings and voltage and on t2, at moment cpu z says im on t1 with 9 9 9 24 at 1333mhz.

meh worst that can happen is i have to reset my cmos again, ill report back when sober :)
