I am using an MSI P6N SLI 650i Platinum motherboard and the timings for the Memory are all set to auto giving me some really bad settings in CPUz and i would like to change these.
My problem is as they are all set to auto i have no idea which is which and was wondering if anyone could give me a hand or point me in the right direction.

These are the settings for memory in my bios below,
tCL [AUTO]
tRCD [AUTO]
tRP [AUTO]
tRAS [AUTO]
tRRD [AUTO]
tRC [AUTO]
tWR [AUTO]
tWTR [AUTO]
tREF [AUTO]
CMD [AUTO]
 
3
3
3
8

for the first 4. CMD should be 2T.

Those are the major timings at least, make sure you are giving it enough volts though, default is 1.8V, and they are rated at 2.2V
 
so you reckon i should up the volts to 2.2v on the memory? Would this also make those settings you just stated more stable?
Also as u stated the first four are the ones that matter should i not bother with the other ones?

Thanks for the help!
 
You'll probably need 2.2v to be stable at the advertised 3-3-3-12 timings. Maybe 3.1v if you're lucky.

And yeah you can leave the other timings on auto. Unless you have a heck of a lot of time to figure them out.
