I have an ASUS MOBO  P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3...Intell I/7 2600k...G-Skill SDRAM DDR3 (PC3 12800) ...XFX 6950 GPU....I have been struggling with BSOD and freezing and in general less than satisfactory performance ever since I have built this computer (3yrs. ago)...After reading a myiad of forums searching for a solution I came across a thread that talked about the tpu and epu swithes on the mobo...It stated their default position from the factory is disengaged... I checked mine was in the engaged position...So I set them to the default...Stability has since improved greatly...Now I noticed the RAM timings are reading 11-11-11-28 when they should be 8-8-8-24...Will I get a noticable performance boost by changing the timings or should I leave well enough alone ?

Thanks @@loaderXI...I have never overclocked...I knew the lower timings were faster that's why I bought the 8-8-8-24 instead of the 9-9-9-24...Just don't know if it would be worth messing with now that I am seeing some improvement in stability...

RAM generally has best rated timings but since each computer system is different, they don't necessarily run at those. The memory controller must have configured to the most stable timing it could automatically select. Unless you're a benchmark buff, NO! the performance won't really be noticeable to you.
