Where do you get your information from, it is wrong. Here is and example.

Take Patriot XBLK it has a stock speed of 200mhz DDR400 with latency timings of 2-2-2-5(dam good memory), if you raise the clock speed to 250mhz DDR500 it will loosen the latency timings to 3-3-3-8. This will always be the rule with ANY memory. It will always default to the lower speed and mirror the latency timings, no if's, no but's. Yes changing the timings can make your PC blue screen, but that happens with any overclocker, and I have been doing this since the days of the 386 chips.

EDIT - changing the memory timings is easily done in the BIOS, not advisable if you don't know what your doing.

i have seen some good answers. but i think contacting guildwars tech support would be a good idea here. i had a problem and i was working of figuring it out. but i figured out exactly what was wrong a lot quicker with their help.

I have a similar problem and Anet reply me this but dont know how to change timings in my computer bios i did not find this frequency.

Hello Eduardo,

According to the Everest report your RAM timings are not set properly.

Your motherboard is set to 3-3-3-7 @ 200MHz

But your RAM only supports:

(3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz)

I suggest going into your BIOS and adjusting the timings and memory bus speed to what is compatible with your RAM.

Could you please try running the Prime95 test again?

Regards,
Guild Wars Technical Support

what im saying is that Chips have thier limits, as to which timings they can run. Just because I can switch a timing in the bios, doesn't necessarily mean that the ram will run comfortably / correctly with that timing. The first thing when building your computer, you want to keep the ram the same. You can really affect the stability of the computer even if you have a little control over the timing.
