so i thought a nice number like 2.275 would be enough to keep it at top shape without the loss of power from the LED's


Well i'll call the RMA tommarrow. I honestly dont think i voided out the warrenty. Id hate to buy another set even tho there 149.99 right now at the egg.
There's been a huge fiasco lately with all enthusiast memory makers. Corsair, Crucial, OCZ have all tried to one up each other by supplying overclocked RAM to secure the enthusiasts dollars. RAM shouldn't have to be higher than 1.8V stock which is the reason why those three companies have been taking a toll on their bottom line. They're just binning memory chips after a small stress test. They found out too late that it takes 3 months to degrade most chips with even slight overvolting. You can see the fiasco in full effect on most motherboard forums (evga, asus from my own experience) across both C2D chipsets, the 680i and the 965.

I'd suggest you find the lowest amount of voltage it takes for you to pass an 8 hour stress test. My Corsair 8500 dominators were rated for 2.3 but I can run them at 1.9 just fine.
