"Hello today I'm going to explain what is RAM timing. RAM timing generally refers to the amount of time it takes for the memory to get ready for access by the memory controller. And RAM timing is very important in the performance in your computer because if the memory tries to send information to the CPU before it's ready for it, then you're going to have a serious problem. RAM timing can usually be set and adjusted through the computer's BIOS, sometimes through 3rd-party software. You can move the RAM timing, you can retard it or advance it just like the timing of a car but you want to be careful not to advance your RAM timing too much because like I said then it will be sending packets to the computer CPU before it's ready for it and you'll usually get a system lockup. And that's RAM timing."
