Help with new memory timing

I just got my new ram in and wanted to make sure that I am running these at right timings.

http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...annel_platinum

This is the ram that I bought. I put the ram in and let the computer auto config the timing in the bios and this is what it came out with.

DRAM Configuration

Memclock index value (Mhz) [200Mhz]
CAS# latency (Tcl) [2.5]
Min RAS# active timing (Tras) [8T]
RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) [4T]
Row precharge Time (Trp) [2T]

1T/2T memory timing [2T]
MTRR Mapping mode [Discrete]


And I noticed that in the bios under Ram Voltage settings, I have it on Auto but if I want to do manual, it only lets me choose between

Auto
2.70V
2.80V
2.90V

I think on the ram specs it's suppose to run:

CL 2-3-2-5 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)
2.6 volts

Can anybody help? I don't want to overclock btw. Thanks all!

I bought the same memory except its the 1Gb sticks. When I stuck mine it auto configured at those timings as well. In your bios you have to manually change them. I changed them to OCZ's settings and have been doing great since.

Oh okay so I would change it to:
CAS# latency (Tcl) [2]
Min RAS# active timing (Tras) [5T]
RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) [3T]
Row precharge Time (Trp) [2T]

And leave the Memclock, 1T/2T, and MTRR settings the same? What about the voltage? Do I leave it on auto since I can't manuall set it to 2.6v?
