  • "Fastest" system performance assumes you are a fool to select such an option, and the memory makers know better, so it ignores your BIOS memory settings and always uses the SPD information
I know this sounds cynical, but it seems in accordance with the symptoms.
Normal is usually very conservative.. or the slowest timings the mobo can handle. Fastest is usually somewhere in the middle, and Turbo is aggressive. Usually, you can set to manual, and go even tighter.
