Safe to tighten RAM timings?

You *should* be ok to tighten your RAM timings, but it just depends what speed your running them at and it might require more volts, which will make them run hotter and shorten the lifetime. But hey thats what crucial RMA is for right? 
Off Topic @ MUD, what 32Gb SSD are you using?? I'm tempted to get an MTRON, but they're expensive and I'm also concerned they wont run at there full potential on an Intel chipset. How's your SSD working on the X38?

I should probably add that it was moving 2T->1T that did the damage...and it was a mistake.
Samsung 32GB IDE...got it for £230 around xmas, they aren't so cheap now. I wasn't too bothered about SATA for the SSD because it seemed like they weren't native SATA at the time and it'd only add latency. If you get a 32GB drive and use Vista then get yourself a SP1 slip-streamed disk else you'll quickly run out of room. As it is I have ~12GB spare. It works fine; quick I/O, slow everything else :/
