Gautam > I know it's XS, that doesn't mean one should go pedal to the metal with the voltages just to be Xtreme. IMO this stuff should be as documented as possible, that's the point of the thread, i'd still throw insane volts at some dimms if I consider it's worth it
. You've touched two important things there:
1. It is true, poor Vdimm supply regulation can cause instability and can damage the RAM badly. The memory is a very nasty load for a voltage supply because it's consumption jumps up and down very very fast (technically called "transient loads"). These "jumps" happen that fast that a poorly designed/sized regulator remains a little behind and can overvolt temporarily when exiting large loads.
2. Temperature increases the effects of the electromigration, for once because higher temperature = higher molecular agitation / brownian movement, wich adds cinetic energy to the electrons. Heat is the biggest enemy, it's always important to keep things cool when overclocking.
sedg.raven > the only problem of the board is that it overvolts a little the Vdimm, around 2-3% or so; the regulation is decent upto 2.35-2.40V, then it gets worse. That is still OK, most Asus boards for example have way inferior regulation on both CPU and RAM.
