Hi,

My friend says run CPU-Z, get the timings for your ram, then set it all manually in your BIOS,

He recomended i set them for DDR3200 the timings 2.5 3 3 7 or 3 3 3 7.

Well i think there currently running at 2.5 3 3 7 @ 166Mhz.

Heres a screenshot...

Should i change them in the BIOS to 3.0 3 3 7 or leave as they are?

Will i notice any differance?

There already speedy on my system:)
 
uh 2.5-3-3-7 is fine fr ddr2700, leave it there, you can raise the timings but youll lose performance
 
I wouldn't expect any options in the BIOS for changing the timings on a Compaq/HP. You can look in the BIOS anyway but you're probably stuck with changing the speed it runs at (maxing out at PC2700)

Thats what i said to him...I dont think Hp comps have fully featured Bios.

Anyway il just leave it as they are.

Im happy with the speeds anyway.
 
Those timings are high for those speeds, but theres not much you can do about it, unless you buy low latency RAM.

Is that a problem?

They seem fine to me..Quite fast.

3-5-3-7 is very high for DDR333.

My DDR400 runs at 2.5-2-2-6, and thats on cheap value RAM which is running at default. I also got my previous DDR2-750 RAM at 3-3-3-10 or so.

Lol all this is getting me confused...

Right so are my timings good or bad?

3-5-3-7?

I dont know anything about timings as you can see but my friend says i should change them.:confused:
 
The lower the timings the better, not the other way around.

From what I hear, you have a Compaq or other pre-built machine, so you can;t change the timings. There not extremely high, and you most likely won't notice a difference if you lowered them in real world apps.
 
Yes my machine is a Half Hp:D

So il just leave them as they are then.

Thanks :)
