i have used a set of ocz gold ram like exactly like the kit you linked in earlier posts. Honestly, you shouldn't have to set memory timings on new equiptment, especially if you aren't overclocking the pc or even the ram itself should you have the nerve. if both memory batches work in bank 0 at listed speed then you have a board issue then clearly to me. otherwise it would be a bad ram chip like you previously thought. Who like to place the cup game with ram chips... I know that you have already placed your order, but I got really excellant latencies and response times out of my ocz, but my cheaper version of cosair ram compared to your purchase didn't fare as well.
