hello i have 2x2gb Corsair XMS2 6400-c5 ram sticks they come stock at 800mhz 5-5-5-18 at 1.8v and i slightly overclocked my cpu and it went up to 858 and i change the timings to 5-4-4-12 at 1.9 volt but is that good or bad or should i put it as 5-5-5-15 at 1.8v

run memtest86+. if you get errors, you need to either lower the mem divider, loosen the timings, or up the voltage :)

 

typically speaking, if you raise the frequency of the RAM you'll need to loosen the timings (increment, ie 5->6), or raise the voltage
