to be on the safe side for oc ram, refer to your ram recommended guide cpu-z

The first number is the CAS latency. The second number is the TRCD. The last number is the TRP

CAS means Column Address Strobe. The Webster's Dictionary defines latency as "the interval between stimulus and response" just in case that word isn't familiar to you.

This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before the RAM starts a read command after receiving it. Settings are usually 2 or 2.5 This setting has more affect on system performance than any other RAM setting. Since this is the number of cycles the CAS needs to find the correct address of the data that it is looking for. That is why your entire system runs quite a bit faster when the data can be fetched in 2 cycles rather than 2.5

for oc use 5-5-5-15-20-2T rather 4-4-4-12-18-1T but also depends on the capabilities of the ram
