Hmm..what the symptoms of dying ram....never had any die and wonder if my issues are related to my ram
there is no fine line here but we know the close you get to severe electron migration the higher the chances of RAM dying.....Tony from OCZ is saying 2.5v is the start of the severe level so you need to know if you run your RAM which are designed originally to operate at 1.8v from Micron for example and binned higher (meaning manufacturers just overclock these to sell them for more money) you are increasing your chances of RAM dying.

i don't see the point of running RAM past 2.2v IN 24/7 SYSTEMS (benching is a different story ).....i would stick to that max which is a value i personally think is high enough...i can't tell you whether that is the limit where RAM has a much higher percentage chance of staying alive or not though.....

here is the source thread where Tony talks about this
