I'm using 2 sticks of Corsair 256MB PC3200 Low Latency Ram on an Asus A7N8X, I have the default voltage set so far and the timings are 2-2-2-6, what should I try to increase them to cause I'm really new to the latencies part of OC'ing, thnx for any help...if someone could explain to me how exactly it works and what numbers to increase and what to decrease that would be great, thnx :D
 
I think you're a bit confused. I presume you are talking about overclocking the RAM, but you don't do that by fiddling with the CAS latencies. 2-2-2-6 are very good numbers, and you aren't likely to get any better. You might need to loosen the timings, setting to something like 2-3-2-6 or some such, if you want to push your RAM to even higher FSB settings. But I doubt you can push the timings any tighter than what you are at now.
 
Thnx, that's the answer I was looking for, I'm new to this and I didn't realize that you had to relax the timings for a better overclock, I was wondering why my ram wouldn't go any higher than 195 with those timings, anywas...one more quick questions, what is a better trade of, tighter timings or 200 FSB? I'm looking to run at either 11x190 with 2-2-2-6 or 11x200 with 2-3-2-6...thnx for any further help. Also, if I'm having any problems with stability is it ok to push my CPU Vcore up to 1.7 and Ram to 2.7 as long as the temperature is allright. And one more thing, lol, if I up my GPU Voltage will I get a better OC, I'm using stock cooling and I wasn't planning to doing it by a lot but maybe 0.1v higher, from 1.5 - 1.6
