Where are my timings?

[nighthawk4]

well, i want to start overclocking and the guides i've read state that i should manually input the timings in my BIOS. all is well until then, but i can't find the timings for my memory anywhere.

i am using A-DATA DDR3 1333mhz (2x 2gb). the timings aren't listed on the DIMM's themselves, and the site doesn't help much either (http://www.adata-group.com/index.php?action=product_specification&cid=6&piid=49).

so far i've concluded that the CAS latency is 9, and it operates at 1.5v. though where can i find the other timings? google isn't very helpful either in this matter, sadly.

CPU-Z should be able to read your modules and give you the timings http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

thanks! one more question though: at POST, it states my RAM is running at 1066 mhz, though it has been rated at 1333mhz. why is this? and is it safe to just put it on 1333mhz in the BIOS?

1066 is probably the default for your CPU mobo! It would be safe.
