Memory timings and speed

I had one Gskill DDR4 2400Mhz 8 GB and recently I buy a new one which is 3200Mhz with the difference in speed and little bit of timings. (15.15.15.36) and (16.18.18.38). Today I overclock my old stick from bios and go upto 3000Mhz. But Now my memory timings shows higher then before in cpu-z (22.21.21.50).

 

I have added the screen shot below.

 

Now, should I use default ram timing and speed or go with the tweaked timings and speed?

Some software may profit from the higher speed, other software may suffer from the increased latency. You can try to find a middle ground between higher frequency and lower latency.

 

Overall, I think your best bet would be to simply benchmark it. Check performance of games/software you use one way, then the other way. See how much of a difference it makes, if any. That should help you find the optimal setting for your system and use cases.
