    I lost 2x1GB sticks of Patriot PC8500 RAM running at spec 2.3V on my EVGA 680i motherboard just a couple of days ago. I'm happy that Patriot has a lifetime warranty on their memory sticks. They approved my RMA and for now I am using my old Corsair xms2 PC6400.
    I also RMA'd my board for the the A1 revision and will probably keep my voltages down to 2.1V when I get my RAM back.

    I had ran this RAM in this board for a couple of weeks and had also used it in my DFI board at the same voltages. I'm wondering how much of the blame should fall on the shoulders of the RAM manufacturers. It just seems odd that the majority of the issues are comming from people running at higher voltages. I have used my Corsair PC6400's @ 2V off and on for a long time in two different EVGA boards and they are perfectly fine. I dunno.
