Hi, I got 4xOCZ2T800C32GK sticks here but I don't manage to run the 4 at the same time on an asus P5E x38 board. The problem comes after some time when the dimms overheat and some operations like disk readings start to fail, I am @ 3-4-4-15 Clocked@800Mhz with 2.3vdimm (bios setting). I wonder how much temperature / vdimm is safe. The computer has just an intake fan and an exhaust fan and a passive gpu. I wonder if 2.35 or 2.4 is safe or if it will kill some sticks in a couple of weeks.

Thank you.

i can't run 4x1 reapers on my maximus formula at all. won't boot. tried several different configs. 2x2 reapers works fine though.

edit: although i couldn't get my ballistix would boot in 4x1, it never made it past the bios screen.

To my surprise this modules are more stable @ vdimm 2.0 or 2.1. I didn't even try this voltage and directly put the 2.3 that these ones are suposed to run at. At least on my asus p5e. It is rock solid now @ 1066 5-5-5-15 and I think I can reach 1100 without problems at this timmings and < 2.1vdimm :)
