Are lower timings better for core 2 duo e6600?

[WacoTaco]

I have an e6600 and corsair 6400 5-5-5-12 overclocked to 4-4-4-12 and if i put them to lets say 3-4-3-9 will it make my pc faster?

Yes, but it may not be noticeable. This post may help with some background: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=1249881#1249881
