Ok so I'm new to computers and I want a second opinion on what I should do here. It looks like both these set's of RAM need their timings manually set to achieve the best performance but seeing as I haven't built a pc I'm not sure how to set them in the BIOS is it simple or is it very complicating I want to know because the default settings on the OZC are something like 7-7-7-30 but if manually set they should be 6-6-6-20. On the other hand the G.Skill RAM's default is something like 9-9-9-24 and need to be set to 8-8-8-21, which is better and how do I set them? I completely lost here. I don't know which is better and I don't know how I set them, so I guess what I'm asking is which would be better for somebody who is a complete RAM noob?

We need to know what is your RAM exactly.

And yes its possible that you have to manual it. My last MA790XT-UD4P build was using 5-7-7-30 default and 800mhz ... when the ram i used was some 5-5-5-18 1066mhz ... had to manual !

Read the review of the MA790FXT and look at the BIOS images for details on how to set timings.
