I7 1366 max ram voltage for benching?

[BlindShot]

I was testing some old OCZ reaper 2x2 1600 7-7-7-24 1.9v ram. They never clocked past 1600mhz on my old Amd rig. I dusted them off and had them running @2133mhz using a Asus Rampage 3 Extreme. I know 1.9v is very bad for newer cpu's. How much can I abuse my W3570 cpu imc before permanent damage?

This memory uses Micron chips(D9GTR or GTS). It's wrong way to good overcloking. Look for Elpida Hypers, BBSE, Powerchip.

Your mems might as well be D9JNL/D9JNM or Samsung 1Gbit-D (better known as HCF0).
Before Hypers came out, everyone was using high-voltage DDR3 at 2V++ for s1366 benching and there were no 'CPU death' reports as far as I can remember so using 1.9V+ for benching shouldn't harm CPU too much, unless you're not running VTT crazy high (which is the actual CPU killer).

there is something like you need VTT to be 0.5v from vDRAm or something on X58, so as high as you can take your VTT i would guess, which would be around 1.5v(but get your CPu cold first)
