By this logic, if I set tWR to 10, I should be able to use tRL -2/-2/-2? I know for a fact this doesn't work. I recently tightened tWR, tRRD and tRTP. Previuosly they were 10/4/6. I'll boot off 1301 tonight with those settings and see if it makes a difference... I don't think it will though...

I think the default tRL changes and you're just offsetting it - in which case you're just adding to or subtracting from a moving value.

I'm also wondering why my RTL's seem to change every bootup if I set them to Auto? Sometimes I boot and they will be 53/55/57... Other times they're 54/56/56 or 53/56/59... I manually set them to 53/55/57 because of this...

This isn't directly related to BIOS but rather drift in the IMC sensing mechanism during POST. The further outside specification (beyond officially supported memory speeds) you push the more drift the mechanism can be subject to. Manual settings are advised at speeds over DDR3-1600 if required (you can calculate approximate RTL, send me a PM if you don't have the calc).
