Hi guys,
I recently upgraded my computer but I think the ram timings are different to what I bought.
Firstly, here's my system
i5 2500k (not overclocked...... yet)
ga-z68xp-ud4
g.skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
msi twin frozr gtx560 ti

The ram timing is meant to be 8-8-8-24 as stated on the g.skill official website (http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=356).

However, in CPU-Z it shows up as 11-11-11-28.
I've attached a screenshot of it.
[image loading]

I could change the timings manually in the BIOS settings but isn't it meant to be 8-8-8-24 by default?

Thanks in advance.

Is it stock speed in bios? makes me think the CPU-Z is buggin out. Assuming you haven't looked in the bios already.

you have to change it yourself in the bios.

alot of ram will advertise certain speeds, but it wont be that way until you set it.

also 1600 mhz ram will often default to 1333 until you change it, and so on


this is all normal.

It's probably set to auto in the bios. As poster above have stated you can go into the bios and set the timings.
