I don't think this is a bug, more of an inaccuracy

Not sure this is really a bug, so I thought I would post here. Apologies if I'm not in the right area.

Just installed some DDR3 RAM, Speccy seems to have nailed most everything right about it except for the Latency Timings.

The RAM I have installed is Corsair (Model: CMX12GX3M3A1333C). I couldn't find the spec sheet for this RAM on the Corsair website (what a mess). But the Latency Timings are clearly shown to be 9-9-9-24 here:

and

Speccy sees the Latency Timings of this RAM as: 8-8-8-20 (I wish it was this fast). :)

Great program and thanks for providing it freely.

You may have to actually set the timings in the BIOS. I had to do the same to achieve 9-9-9-24 when it was setting it differently.
