Help me set my Timings?

[Imz Deodex]

Hello everyone. First of all I want you to know I have 2 different miss match Ram sticks [on a budget and the Hyper X Ram is out of stock] So I want to set the timings right.

My PC boots up correctly but I think the new Ram stick has downclocked my Hyper X with it.

My Kingston hyper X Ram is 1600mhz at 10-10-10-30 with Command Rate 1T

However, I bought additional 4gb of Ram [Kingston KVR16N11S8/4] and now my System ram is clocked at 11-11-11-30 2T. I want to turn it back to 10-10-10-30 is it possible?

My motherboard is MSI Z77MAG45. I checked in the bios and there is this "RAM TIMING MODE" which is set to [AUTO] then there is "Link" and "Unlink. I have no idea what to choose.

in Ram timing advanced options I see the available ram timings. [will setting it back to 10-10-10-30 1T destabilize my PC?] or will it cook my ram? thanks

The new stick has slower timings, so might work, might not, but try manually to 1600 10-10-10-30 2T and DRAM voltage at 1.55

alright. Also please note that the new stick already runs at 1600 by default... the timings are just off. I think I won't touch the command rate

IT WORKED!!!! My ram timings are now at 10-10-10-30 [same with my Hyper X] thanks! "but I set the ram timing mode to linked" is that ok?
