No, the lower the timings the faster/better as long as your system is stable. The FSB can be raised as well in the Bios. Try running CPU-Z and check your timings and SPD.

If you are mixing memory speeds, you may need to go with the slower. What I would do is relax your timings to 6-6-6-18, increase RAM voltage by a tenth, then install the new memory. Then test and work your settings downward until your system becomes unstable.
