I have 2 sticks of corsair ddr 400 (pc3200) and 2 sticks of Hyundia ddr400 of the same speed but different timing that came with the computer. The timing on the corsair is 2.5-3-3-8 and the timing on the Hyundia is 3.0-3-3-8. My bios automatically sets my ram speed and timing to ddr333 and the timing to 2.5-3-3-7. This seems to work fine after testing with prime95 torture test and memtest 86+ version 1.78. Would it be better to manually set my ram speed and timing in the bios in order to get my rated ram speed of ddr400 instead of ddr333? In order to do this I must slow the timing from 2.5-3-3-7 to 3.0-3-3-8. This matches the Hyundia ram which is the slower ram. Is my bios doing a good thing or am I correct by setting my speed manually to ddr400 and slowing the CL to 3.0? I have just passed memtest after trying this with no errors and am in prime95 still testing as I write this. Which setting is better or faster- the auto mode in bios or my way?
Thanks
