i updated the first post and changed the range, 2,2v seems to be safe as well, but for 24/7 opteration over 1-2 years im not 100% sure. there might be some sticks that do fail at 2.2v after a long period of time.

about benching, 2.3v seems to be safe, even 2.35v, but above that the risk of the memory being damaged increases notably. what is your guys experience with 2.4v? has any of you run 2.4v for an extended period of time?
on what board and with what cooling?

maybe it would be useful to add a list of how mainboards overvolt vdimm.
lowest and highest reported values

P5K3 dlx 0.030 - 0.055
P5E3 non dlx 0.025 - 0.055
P5E3 dlx 0.050 - 0.120v
blitz xtreme 0.070
maximus xtreme 0.036V to 0.038
P5E3 WS Pro 0.095V to 0.098
you shouldn't take it personal
that's your problem

info is useful of course

the best advice i would give ppl in terms of overvolting or undervolting boards is to go buy a DMM and measure every board you test on your own so you know where you're at

i pretty much always check...i know johnny would be ty with me but i usually probe some of thespots around the RAM sockets to find the readings and then change values in bios and compare again to make sure they are the right ones

johhny thinks that the best readings are on one of the pins inside the RAM sockets but that's too complicated and difficult

Asus overvolting is shocking....crappy QC i guess




also while we are talking about high vdimm testing....one friend of mine used 2.6v on corsair 1800MHz Dominator kit for two days testing in the lab and the RAM has not skipped a beat nor has there been any reduced OCing

my kit seems to out at around 2.25vdimm or so which is a shame as it would have been awesome to see how it scales at higher volts.........i don't think i'd be sticking 2.6v into them though...that's just crazy....guess he doesn't care since he had 3xkits to use hahaha

this Crucial RAM i have seems to like volts but crucials die so much in DDR2 flavour i'm even freaked out using 2.2v on this ddr3 ram kit lol knowing they will probably die >>> what's worse i think this 2GHz CAS9 kit is based on the new JNL ram or whatever it's called which is made on a smaller process...that would make them even weaker i'm sure eek
