safe micron DDR3 voltage

[massman]

do you honestly think i dont know that?

Lose the ego, please. If I thought you knew it, I wouldn't have said it. 5 results found the way I said will be more reliable than the results of 100 unique systems/settings.

it wasnt 2.43
2.34v in bios + 0.037 overvoltage = 2.377v, so roughly 2.38v

and, correct me if im wrong fredyama, but the sticks were not degrading, both sticks just suddenly stopped working completely.

If you read Fredyama's post correctly, you'd notice how he ran his memory at 2,38v perfectly and killed them at 2.34V + 0.095V/0.098V = 2,44v, which is quite a bit higher than 2,38.

Regardless of slight variations we can still notice "trends" if people give such feedback.
For instance, the threads where above 2.3V DDR2 was mentioned as being unsafe for a normal desktop 24/7 with a year longevity in mind, actually did help us, even though many killed those Microns at 2.1V (me too) but most didn't and were safe till around 2.3V real when cooled although no more. I would then stick to advising that much maximum for it and not anymore even though I've rallied 3V normal air into them for over 3 hours once and above 2.3V regularly for benching, I would never advise it. The trend would be similar in DDR3 although different volts.

Yes, of course, when using the stick 24/7, no one should ever recommend a high overvoltage (+ 0,3/0,4 at most). But here most of us care about voltage safe to bench at. The voltage is a bit higher, the stress a bit higher, but the system runs less long. I certainly wouldn't mind killing my bench memory after 1y, but I would mind killing my 24/7 rig memory after 1y.
