timings

Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 The timings listed are 5-5-5-12. Will I gain better performance if I change them to 4-4-4-12? What is the risk of doing this? I have the RAM voltage at 1.95...up from manufacture recomended 1.90. CPU volts are at AUTO and go anywhere from 1.18 to 1.32

Also I am runing my c2d e6600 @ 300 with a 9x multi. I have that RAM set at ddr2-800. Will I be doing better if I lowered it to ddr2-600 thus hetting that 1:1 ratio? I have 4x 1GB sticks of this in my mobo. I am happy with most of the performance I am getting at 2.7ghz with the exception of the start up time. But when I up it to 2.8ghz I do not really gain anything so I figure why over do it.

Also when running core temp I am seing the CPU temps at around 32-34C at idle and up to 43C whne running orthos. Is this safe for every day use? It also shows something called Tjunction. This reads a whopping 85C. What is this? It seems VERY HOT. Thanks for all your helps

should be fine

your voltage should be fine, and yeah you can probably push them a little bit. I don't see the 4-4-4-12 adjustment causing big issues for you.....just run the memory stability tests available out there and if you fail the test you prob have to up the voltage a tad more to like 2.05-2.1v. I dunno I'm running ocz ati certified mem that is 4-4-4-15 @ 2.1v and im sure i could push it to the 12 precharge timing. what is your recovery time set at?

If your worried, do what dkizzy said and boost the voltage. just add a small fan blowing on the ram (10cfm should do it) and youll be fine.

FWIW, dropping your timings won't hurt your modules. Also, the warrantee covers them up to (and including) 2.1 volts.

Use Memtest86+ to check for errors.

Tjunction is a pre-set core shut-down temperature, not your current running temperature.
