Ddr2 memory timeings

[shawnlove]

ok i have the lanparty p35-t2rs and 2 gig g skill ram 800mhz and stock timeings are 5-4-4-12 well the ram is supose to be 4-4-4-12 so i lowered them.

now what im asking is if i can try to make the timeings lower like 3-3-3-10 or something or is it safe? right now i have it at 2.1v and 790mhz due to my o/c with the ratio of 4:5

Tightening the timing won't hurt it, adding too much voltage can. Try not to exceed the mfrs' voltage.
After you've made your adjustments, see if it POSTS. If it does, then boot to memtest86+ to see if the RAM passes the memory tests. If so, you got really lucky (excellent RAM), if not, then try it with 3-4-3-10.
