what i find so concerning is the number of manufacturers saying 2.4v is ok on these D9 chips and yet so many are dying on different mobos

I saw OCZ changed there vdmm max on there memory recently with regards to warranty...no longer saying 2.4v is OK
I was running around 2.24 when my stick died.

The board also overvolts by about 0.03 volts on the vdimm as I've measured this with a DMM. I wonder if the vdimm voltage surges on startup. I've found that the vdimm on the asus p5n32-e sli plus goes up about +0.05 volts on startup.
