My 7600GT RAM can reach 840MHZ (1680 DDR) at stock volts and stay stable, but am I gonna kill my RAM that way? or can it handle it? (stock is 700 by the way)

Neither the core nor ram can't die unless you mess with the voltage
My system's bottleneck is my wallet
so basically i got some lucky ram?
840MHz sounds a bit above normal to me, I've seen ppl get 900MHz on those chips though but thats pretty rare.Originally Posted by avi85

Meh I have had 3 7600GTs that did 850+ on the mem. You really need to cool the memory with some sinks because it gets really hot. That and overclocking the core gives you more headroom on the mem.Originally Posted by avi85
Not true I had a 7600 and 7900GT die on me without any voltage increase.Originally Posted by DZ1234

Then chances are they would have probably "died" at stock as well.Originally Posted by Cpt.Planet

well... i don't think it will kill the ram, if the ram can handle it, it would work.
my Palit is running at 575/1500 @ 765/1700 (1,25@1,8v on core, 1,8@2,0v on ram)
just for benching with stock cooling :P
(core temp on 90 degrees, says nvidia monitor)
if i would use watercooling i can easyly reach 850+/1900+

that 1.8v with stock cooling is really nice,Originally Posted by oktavius
i wonder why doesnt anyone give Amd Venice 1,8v with inbox?
its too 90nm
IMHO 1.8v is WAY TOO MUCH for 90nm, especially with def cooling

Only partially right.
Both more voltage and higher clocks CAN kill cards, but each in its own manner.
For example, higher clocks generate more heat. That is, more heat than the stock HSF could handle or is designed to handle, so if you let temps go crazy and you prolong the pain, then yes it will die eventually.
Voltage increases generate far more heat and so it makes it much easier to heat up the card. But voltage could also kill without necessarly heating up the card if you go too far too quickly. Transistors and other components only work up to a specified voltage..
Check your temps, and keep the RAM chips well cooled, then you shouldn't have any problems.

I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.
Pfft, I've given a venice 1.8V before. If you're not a scaredy cat then it isn't so bad.Originally Posted by Winterwind

[QUOTE=Cpt.Planet That and overclocking the core gives you more headroom on the mem.
[/QUOTE]
if im not correct it is the other way around. these cards benefit much more from higher ram clocks as they are on a 128bit bus.
and as long as the chips stay cool, i wouldnt worry. if they are hot enough to burn you, then id be concerned. but untill then, i say push those mems.
those are samsung mems correct? id say that is above average. the samsung mems dont seem to be clocking as well as the hynix, but 1680 is nice. about the same as my 7900gs mems!

the mems are infineon, today I got a 7600GT KO (won it in a contest from evga) it has hynix mem and they only reach 804, but I think that they can reach higher, but in RivaTuner it says that my card didn't pass the internal test with the mem over 804, is there a way to bypass that so I can see how high they really go?
i think it's
riva tuner -> power user -> overclocking / global -> disable clock test
