With all the talk of 2.2 to 2.3V max for 24/7, I have seen very, very few reports of RAM failing from running higher voltages 24/7..
FWIW, I run my OCZ @ 2.0V at just over 1Ghz 24/7.
i have died OCZ Ti Alpha VX2 and OCZ Reaper 9200, they run at stock volts but without cooling, in case with poor ventilation
actually they were very hot, 40-50C with first kit, and 60-70 second
so i think cooling is very important here
now i'm switching to new ram with 8-layer pcb and watercool it, and i will use up to 2.3v, 2.35 maybe
and i hope it will be safe :)
I'm pumping my Dominators with 2.23V @ 1150MHz CL5 for 24/7 but they didn't mind 2.27 or 2.3V at all...while Team Xtreem modules can do 2.35V for 24/7 no sweat...:D
anything over 2.3v you pushin you luckQuote:

Well, no need to do that..i am limited by straps on the mobo, which require much more than 2.3V so i use the one for which i need 2.23V or 2.27V.
it seems volts on micron similar with risk from smoking sigarets
2.2 - 90% it'll be ok
2.3 - 70%
2.4 - 50%
but no one sure that IT won't happens with anyone, even at 2.1)
hmm i wondering is it my quad gt or my balistic that doing something wrong?hhmm ill look for other d9 then :DQuote:

At 1.9v these old Microns should outlive us all.

Doing some low voltage testing for a game rig I'm building. I'm a little surprised how low I can set the voltage and still get a decent 24/7 OC on these old Team Group (Micron) sticks. Blood Iron mobo might be a little off but these naked sticks seem pretty cool.
Short term benching with high volts is fairly safe but I've never used more than 2.125v on all the Microns in my game rigs and haven't had any failures. If you don't want to even entertain the possibility of doing an RMA I wouldn't go over 2.2v for a 24/7 rig. Of course, there will be some who will go 2.4v with active air cooling and never have a problem, but its likely an even number will do the RMA dance. :D
gundamit did you set the tREF manually in Windows or was that auto?

All auto. Nothing tweaked intentionally as this is part of a something for group outside of OC community. Memset locked - only for display purposes.Quote:
