did you meassure real vdimm? how did you cool the memory?
I have been using a maximus extreme board .No maximizer but rams were cooled with a modded corsair dominator airflow .
The fans were changed with 3 delta 9500rpms each one (As a result the rams were always cold) .

I have to admit that it's the first mainboard i haven't used a multimeter to measure the real voltage . Applying 2.3V to bios shows in hardware monitor page (in bios) 2.37V approx .
In the first 2 months i never set the voltage more that 2.30V . The clocks were always stable .
The only time i put 2.35V in bios was enough to degrade one of the two sticks . And we're talking for a few minutes run ... less than one 3dmark loop and one stick degraded.

According to your new thread , the real voltage when you give 2.35v is 2.39v ??? I have to measure it to check my mainboard.
