if you can bring it down to 4-5-4-17 I think that would be great

What ram is it, what brand? It should have a stock timing, either 5-5-5-18 or 4-4-4-12 most likely

5-5-5-18

ideally the tighter (lower) you can get the timings the better. It will make very little difference in day to day use or 3d gaming. but 2d performance (number crunching) will be improved a little bit.

What brand is it?

Thx for the timings, so it should react 4-4-4-12, with some voltage changes, prob 2.0v or so.

The performance and stability of any system depends in part on the memory being used and the settings for the RAM timing. Many users may prefer "xyz" brand, and certainly using brand name memory is a very good idea since low quality memory is often at the root of many stability issues. However, it is also important to pay attention to the timing settings of the memory used.
