About a year ago, I bought a 1G stick of Corsair XMS RAM with settings of 2-3-3-6. Just a couple of days ago, I came across a really nifty program called CPU-Z, which tells me some very detailed information about my PC. I just now found that the settings from my RAM analysis are not consistent with the standardization of my RAM.

Below is some info about my RAM followed by two screenshots of my CPU-Z analysis.





Since my RAM settings in BIOS are set to AUTO, should I switch it to manual and adjust to the correct settings (assuming mine are wrong)?

So are RAM settings as x1-x2-x3-x4 represented from 1: CAS# Latency; 2: RAS# to CAS#; 3: RAS# to Precharge; and 4: Cycle Time (Tras), respectively?

If so, then my settings are 3-3-3-8 when they should be 2-3-3-6. Am I correct?

I just wanted to make sure from the more experienced folk that the x-x-x-x standard is in the relative order that I listed with numbers so that I can accurately adjust my RAM.

One more thing's on my mind. What are the potentials for overclocking this stick, and how dangerous is messing with some of the other RAM settings (visible in the CPU-Z pics) in BIOS?

Yes. The RAM was tested at those timings at 2.75V as well, but I have that RAM and it ran them fine at 2.5
