Post CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 timing confusion

I'm in the process of doing a pretty major upgrade; new motherboard, CPU, memory, SSD & OS. I already have the motherboard and memory (the rest of the hardware should be delivered today, with the OS arriving ~Monday). The memory is a 16GB (2x 8GB) CL9 1866Mhz Vengeance kit, part number: CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9. The slight hiccup I'm having is that I can't determine the specific memory timings for this module. The site from which I bought it lists 2 different sets of timings: 9-9-9-24 & 9-10-9-27, and Corsair's website doesn't list the specific part at all.

Any advice on how to set up these modules to their maximum potential without breaking any warranties i.e. from overclocking, would be greatly appreciated.

FYI: The motherboard I've bought is an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX; the CPU is an AMD Bulldozer FX-8150.

Cheers. :)

9-9-924 is stock settings for 1333mhz or SPD timings. and the 9-10-9-27 would be tested settings for 1866.

Use the later for your machine and the voltage printed on the label.

I am so frakkin dumb sometimes. Here's me thinking how unprofessional it was of Corsair to package my RAM without any documentation to tell me the memory timings, and it's printed on the label!

Thanks for the help peanutz.

I'm gonna go hide under a rock until my OS disks arrive.

Its no problem at all I would not worry about it. Where is the last place you would look for something? Well for you it may be different that the next person that is what makes us who we are. Human! Welcome to my world!
