    Modded P4gpl-x/p4gd1 might be killing RAM

    OK, here is the story how 2 sets of RAM died (actually only 1 stick of each set) on a vdimm modded P4GPL-X board + dothan 750 in exactly the same way.

    CPU voltage set >1.55 in bios (~1.65 actual).
    RAM voltage: 3.5V DMM measured, 120mm fan over them
    Chipset voltage in bios 1.6, 1.8V (modded) DMM measured

    Booting at fsb 167+. It happened only if cpu voltage is >1.55. Usually I don't set it that high (remember the board is overvolting by ~0.08) but this time I tried. The board shuts down and after that only 1 stick survives.

    Could it be coincidence? Maybe, but 2 sets in the same way is kinda strange...


    1st set is kingston hyperx BH5, worked several months on NF4 260 3.4-3.5V with 120mm fan over them, no problems at all
    2nd set is redline xp4000, worked one month on NF4 255 3.4V with 120mm fan over them, no problems at all
