EVGA 680i SLI board is killing ram.

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

It is not the freaking board frying the RAM! It is the DIMMs inability to last at high voltages for long periods of time.

why is the 680 the only board that has killed ram of mine even at stock volts. Nvidia have confirmed that in some cases that 2.3 vdimm sometimes spikes. In the last 3 years i have had atleast 20 motherboards(a big mix of brands and models) and only the 680i is the one i lost ram with(4 sticks 2 at stock voltage and 2 at 2.5v benching for only a few minutes at a time). some was at stock volts and some was at 2.5v

I think my evga 680i killed my 8500c5d as well. I was running them at spec (ddr2-1066, 5-5-5-15-2T, 2.2v). Now they fail memtest in that board (obviously) as well as fail memtest in a DFI icfx3200-T2R. If setting the memory options in the 680i bios in accordance with corsair's specifications makes me a hardware killing noob, then I guess I should just get rid of all of this and play with legos.

you got airflow on those sticks @ 2.2v?

my crucial anniversarys run pretty hot under stress even at 1.9-2.0v but i have my radiator fans putting some nice air over them so it's ok but i wouldn't like to leave them unattended with 2.2v 24/7 thats for sure.
