reddevil6 · 05-11-2008, 09:11 AM

ok i would like to know if i am slowly killing my ram by tightening my timings from (5-5-5-18) to (4-4-4-12) still at stock voltages 1.8V i do NOT have heat spreaders on my ram.

Voltage kills not timming.

ok so voltages kill the ram but at tighter timings would there be more heat? if so would it be hot.
i am thinking of trying to go to 3 should i.

you wont be able too. you are lucky that they work at 4-4-4-12, those are pretty good timings. to get a cas latency of 3 like mine is pretty rare for ddr 800
