F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL x 2 + MSI P67A-GD65

[Metasparks]

I have two pairs of F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL, for a total of 8GB ( 4 x 2GB ).
I have a MSI P67A-GD65 B3 stepping motherboard and an Intel i5-2500K Processor.


Question 1
When I run the memory at 1600MHz using XMP, should I up the voltage to the RAM? It's
currently auto and setting to 1.488v.

Question 2
At that frequency, 1600MHz, is my i5 processor being overclocked? If so, what adjustments do I have to make in the bios for that overclock in regards to the processor?

Question 3
Also, what are the advanced timings that I want to go with if have if I to go manually for 1600MHz?
The ones allowed to be set by my motherboard are:

tRFCC
tWR
tWTR
tRRD
tRTP
tFAW
tWCL
tCKE
tRTL
tRRDR
tRRDD
tWWDR
tWDRDD
tRWDRDD
tWRDRDD
tRWSR



Thank you.

1. Depends if it works well, if not, then raise it.

2. That is an unlocked processor, so it should not overclock your CPU.

3. Advanced timings should be fine on AUTO

Let us know if you have problems.
