Hi just checking but does anyone know if this is ok, I am being a bit paranoid now.

Hi,
I wouldn't be so paranoid if people weren't always watching me!  :o

Yes cookiebun, the readings are fine.You have to multiply the DRAM Frequency readings X2, so you are running at 1333MHz.

Hi this is the ram i have why does the latency differ from above do I need to do anything to tweak it ( it was the voices that told me to ask this) 

Crucial 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz/PC3-10600 Ballistix Memory Kit CL7 (7-7-7-24) 1.65V

It is just that the timings are tighter(maybe better quality chips on the modules). Don't listen to the voices they are always wrong ;)

As DM states the 7,7,7,24 numbers are the timings of the modules and you should be able to achieve these but they would need to be manually set in the M.I.T. section of BIOS. But it isn't really necessary and can cause more problems. My RAM is rated at 1600 MHz 8,8,8,24 @ 1.65V but I actually run it at 1333Mhz 9,9,9,24 @ 1.5V and my system is stable.

OK better left alone I don't want to cause problems. I have enough without that I'm still grounded from the processor prob.
