It does run fine with 5-5-5-18 T2 with volts on auto. Should I keep it or return it . What kind of performance lose with the differance in timings cause.

If you had any intentions of overclocking, then definitely send it back. If it was true 6400 4-4-4-12...it likely would have ran 1000-1066@5-5-5-15, but since its already at 5-5-5-18@800...i doubt there's much headroom at all. As far as how much performance difference you'll notice...you probably won't even notice it. There are some people(me included)that are very "in-tune" with their machines, and can notice small differences either way...but for most..it really won't matter. GL
