Some specs to help:

Graphics Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 Windforce 4GB
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
Ram: Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 C9 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3

1333 is the default. You can see the some of the timings are now shorter using XMP. You should do it this way till you figure you know more about it than the makers of the ram.

The big improvement with XMP was getting cl from 13 to 9.

Each of these figures are the no. clock cycles delay between the next action from ram. The shorter the delay, the faster the ram will work.

You should see the ram spec (Google it). I bet it said 1.5V cl 9 and gave all the timings that you now see.

Okay. I enabled it. Is this better now?

Also, all I did was choose the 1866mhz option that was in the OC settings in the bios and then I enabled the XMP as you said. I didn't play around with the voltages? I left them as they are. Is that good or bad?

The new XMP looks fine; the timings are now right as they should be. Leave the voltages alone.
