I just purchased this pair of dual channel memory at new egg.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210

It looks like i bought the first revision of these sticks as they are supposed to be 2-3-2-5. (revision 2 is 2-2-2-5)

My msi board detects it as 2.5-3-2-5. I attempted to manually change it in bios to 2 but then system does not boot.

I dont have that much experience with memory timings and configuration and so i need some help. What would i have to do to get these sticks to run at cas2. Reviews at newegg seem good except for the fact that alot of ppl go through this same issue.

I have never messed with voltage etc so if anyone could give me a quick walkthrough on what i should change, i would appreciate it.

I also read the faq sticky but i have a few questions.

Maybe i could not run at cas 2 becausei had my fsb at 225. i was oc'ing my athlon 64 3700 up to 2.5.

When are you supposed to mess with the voltage?
