For the record (iow for the not knowing), voltage regulation refers to the regulation, or stabilization of voltage supplied. The motherboard doesn't actually supply the ram with a pure steady 2.3v. The actual voltage jitters around and may range from 2.2-2.4 or in bad cases (cheap pos mobos) way more. If your ram is rated @ 2.3-2.5v and you used 2.4v, at which point your ram died - your mobo may not be up to the task: the voltage that really killed your ram may be as high as 2.6-7 v.
Other factors that increase as the quality of your mobo decreases may be current and (don't quote me directly on this one) induction of sorts; Also - if you have a high power water pump or fan right next to your mobo... or a 110v compressed of course, the field it creates introduces bigger ripples in the electronics all over your motherboard, even though it is somewhat shielded.
Rule of thumb - keep things away from your mobo, preferably keep it shielded in case and dont buy pos mobos/pos psu's (<<< important - primary source of the ripple in your voltage).
The melting point of silicon is 1414 °C (2577 °F)... @ 45° all your base are not belong to me, trust meOriginally Posted by ozzimark
if your ram is getting that hot, no wonder you have instability. anything warmer than warm to the touch is too hot in my eyesOf course different chips handle heat differently... but seeing as how the chips ARE sold to africa, i can't imagine them failing anything below OWWTFHOT to the finger.
