Anyone ever heard of this brand? Well, I overclock my cpu and make it stable. Yet I've never messed with the memory side of things.. Will I benefit from overclocking my ram?
How do I go about and do this. I'll take multiple screen shots and send links to them since appearently the window doesn't like to show everything. Tell me where to start and I'll do it and test it out. My bios lets me adjust voltages to cpu and ram if that helps too
I only uploaded 3 pics but, I did them 3 ways so that at least 1 is bound to work.

Team memory is a good brand, the "Elite" versions are good, but not their top-end stuff.

What motherboard are you using?
You should be doing this via the bios and not software btw! If you mess up using software you run a high risk of corrupting data and hosing your windows install.
You should have a memtest86+ CD in the drive and use that to test for stability before booting into windows.

The main point with memory clocking/tweaking is to have a piece of paper and a pen handy.
You need to keep a record of the various settings you select when tweaking.
When overclcoking though, set the main 5 timings to what you want and leave the rest in "AUTO"

Without knowing what motherboard you have, we won't know what options you can change.

AMD really shines with CAS3 if your ram can do it, which it might not.

I have the biostar nf520-a2 I can change a lot of stuff in my bios I was just opening that and messing around just to see if it froze so I didn't hurt it with the bios
all the ram timings all the volts. I just can't change the ratio of ram to fsb maybe I can but, haven't found it yet. the bios is 100% different than my last one
the 5 settings.. what is better than 4-4-4-12 but, not so much it will have no chance?
like 4-4-4-10 is that better or
3-3-3-12
as I said I never messed with ram but, I'll test stuff out and learn like I did before
