CL: Cas Latency – how many clock cycles between a request to RAM and the response from it.

Here’s a short explanation of each primary timing number: Each of these numbers represents the number of clock cycles specific operations take. For example, you’ll see RAM specifications followed by a string of numbers like “10-10-10-30”.

These are usually expressed as ram “timings”. RAM has to perform several different types of complex operations to locate, read from and write to memory locations. The reason so many people are wary of RAM overclocking is that it’s about more than just increasing the clock speed until the RAM falls over, and then backing down a bit. Video games and other complex, memory-heavy workloads where the CPU has to constantly access RAM to perform calculations will all be faster if your RAM gets a nice boost.
