MemTest86 will display the main timings, at least when run on a mobo
equipped with an nVidia nForce chipset.

I've never bought Kingston HyperX memory, only ValueRAM, but I've found
that it can't be overclocked at all, and often it needs to be run at
slower than the SPD settings, especially the 1T/2T command time
parameter (but many BIOSes seem to set this to 2T, even when the SPD
says 1T). Oddly, I've never had a failure with PNY brand DDR memory.
