memory timings
i got a 2gb kit of patriot ddr2-800 ram timed at 4-4-4-12...but cpu-z sees it at 5-5-5-15...i manually set it to the 4-4-4-12..but the system gets unstable so i left it at auto..im at a loss here...i was thinkin its the mobo since it was the only piece in my system that wasnt more than $150...but im not gonna keep that assumption since cost isnt always the factor of somethin wrong lol..any ideas?

well after more digging..i found that the SPD timings are intially 5-5-5-15..but says they were tested at 4-4-4-12 at 2.2v and after adjusting the timings manually im still comin up at 3-4-4-20...which looks better but i dunno lol damn it...im sure its not a real big issue..but it bothers me that i paid $250 for this kit to run at 4-4-4-12 and im not gettin it..

Check your bios for TRAS and change that to 12 your currently at 20
TRAS doesn't give much performance, but CAS does!
Are you planning to OC the ram past 400? If so, change the CAS to 4 (currently on 3)

But you should try lowering the TRAS anyway! If it doesn't set to 12, try around ~14. But even then I doubt you'll see any improvements.......mayby ~8mb/sec in Sandra benchmarks

i do think its the mobo though(either that or somethin lol)....i was just messin around...i put the TRAS at 14 in the bios and it went up to 22 in cpu-z...so i figured id try somethin and go way below in the bios..the bios let me go down to 4 on the TRAS...and now cpu-z says i got 3-4-4-12 at 800 mhz ddr2....now...so far its stable LOL...whether how much better who knows..but if it doesnt hurt the ram at stock speeds then im all for it...im just glad it works at the timings u helped me with ken

Your welcome......I'm glad you got it sorted!
But that's just cazy
But as you said, if it's stable......who cares?
You should run "Orthos" blend test for a while to be sure it's stable

also 2x instances of superpi 32M tests
