Hm....speccy says my ram timing is different than what the manufacture suggests, could this be it?

So i brought the voltages down from 1.650 to 1.5 and the timing is now correct! Hopefully i can use this ram to its full potential. I never messed with those setting before, it must have been running like that since i built it in 2011. Hopefully this put an end to the bluescreens. I will memtest it overnight!
Set Your timings to 9-11-9-27 and voltage at 1.5V (Dram Voltage) and frequency to 1866. or You can enable XMP in bios. I prefer to set BIOS to manual and set everything myself, but I'm a control freak.
I actually set the voltage back to 1.65 because thats what patriot printed on the ram, newegg is false with its 1.5v claim. Currently running memtest, 1 pass so far with 0 errors. I noticed a whole bunch of other timing settings, do I have to worry about those? I only changed the primary timings. Also what should my 5th command timing be? I have it set to auto but I can
pick between 1-3 also
If you are talking about 1T or 2 T, 2T is usually more stable than 1T. I've never heard of 3T. I hope that's what you are asking. Go with what is printed on the ram modules, they will be correct. Newegg lists the timings as 9-11-9-27 and I would use 2T as it's more stable, but if you set it at 1T and can pass, you are good. Use the 1.65V for Dram Voltage if that's printed on the modules. If you set it before at 1866 and 9-9-9-24 at 1.5V, that may very well be why you were having BSODs. The Voltage and timings has to be right. any more questions, just ask.
Im hoping it will fix the bsod, but the thing is it also passed memtest 13 times running at 9-9-9-24. I think the old voltage was also 1.65
But, if I understand you correctly, it passed with those timings at 1333, you are now running at 1866, I believe. That's a big difference. And I hope you set the correct timings for 1866. Ram will run right at certain frequency and timings. When you change the frequency, you almost always have to change the timings and voltage. For example, your ram will also run correctly at 1600, but the timings and usually voltage will be different than the timings at 1333 or 1866. Ram is extremely picky and everything has to be right.
13 passes were with the 1866mhz. For a long time this ram was running at 1333 but after I set it to 1866 the bsods started happening. But now im hoping the slightly tweaked timing and voltage would make a difference
14 passed, 19 hours of testing :) now we wait for the next bsod....
