DFI using 5v rail for ram not 24/7 stable?
I read something about this in the ATi mobo thread and figured id ask...
Someone posted about how the DFI is not 24/7 stable using the 5v rail for vdimm, and that DFI recommends using the 3.3v rail for everyday use. Is there any truth in this statement? Do we just need to actively cool that heatsink with a 40-60mm fan, or is it really really bad to run it like that? Reason i ask is i use BH-5, and i need the high volts and i dont know one person that runs at stock speeds 24/7. Why would DFI put that feature on their boards and claim great overclockability, but not allow that OC to stay functional and stable for more than a few hours?
Someone please say that its okay to run the ram off the 5v line with active cooling and be stable 24/7

In general, define "necessary" ;) Lower temp = longer life...

Don't look too close, someone may be gaining on you :p:
Just an FYI... the heatsinks used by DFI on the NF4 MBs are soldered to the MB... not easily removed. That having been said, with a fan blowing across the stock Vmem heatsink it stays relatively cool. But... it is XtremeSystems, so you might want to think about putting a prommy on that puppy :p: :lol:
