yeah, ive heard of that "special edition" gigabyte boards that give +0.2 to +0.3 vdimm you set 2.2v in bios and get 2.5v real...

Besides those gigabyte boards the asus and intel 975x boards and nvidia and asus 680 boards seem to kill a lot of ram. im doing the rmas for cellshock and its hard not to notice that those boards keep showing up way way more than they should, considering that rather few people use those boards.
