Small Issue with RAM Timings

[Ajido]

My RAM ran at 8-8-8-24 with XMP on when I first built this PC back in December. A couple days ago I finally got around to overclocking my 6600K (Though CPU multi, didn't touch BCLK). The system is stable and working well but I noticed in CPU-Z it says my timings are 8-8-8-28.

 

 

I went into the BIOS to try manually setting the timers and found that they were set to the correct values already, but CPU-Z reads otherwise.

 

 

Any idea what is going on here? Also why does it say I have PC3-10700 (667 MHz) RAM, don't I have 800 MHz? Or do I have a 667 MHz that was just sold overclocked to 800 MHz?

dude don't even bother to OC your RAM. It makes no difference to the speed of your PC at all

 

Is this even OC'ing? The RAM is advertised and sold as 1600 MHz 8-8-8-24 timing.

^ There is no reason too. Your ram is as good as it needs to be. Dont want to be damaging it or even breaking it altogether

667 (DDR) is default 1333 settings. using XMP will boost to 800 (1600MHz).

as for the tRAS error, that'd be a crucial thing (the change from 24 to 28 could

be an issue if moving the overall speed, but should not be a dealbreaker).
