    but would you recommend that? there are 2 topics on xs about dead memory sticks. with voltages 2.2 and above. 1 user even killed his memory at 2.1 although that might have been a mobo issue killing the ram.
    i also have memory rated at 2.3 or 2.4, but i dont dare to go 24/7 above 2.1
    atm im running 872mhz at 1.87 volt 4 4 4 5. (due to oc limit of cpu)
    from what i understood with the convo's i had with ratz was that his memory doesnt like cl4 and he needs the savest highest voltage possible for 24/7 use.

    Had a major crash the other day after changing values via AOD (latencies) and it made the bios loop..

    POST -> backup bios checksum error...reverting.. -> auto restart -> and 4-5 times or more the same loop happened before i could enter bios...when i finally did (I was on F3) i reflashed immediatly to F2 and it solved the bios loop problem.

    After re-formatting and installing windows I began to get BSOD's after 10-15 minutes every time,"Page fault in non-paged area" and similar messages. Memtest gave immediate errors yesterday 2 times in a row... but not at first...last 2 test before I went to sleep were faulty. Today I tried swapping modules a bit,first one,then the other,then both - nothing. If I change the configuration in memtest to "Probe" or "Bios->all" immediate errors occur.

    Could the IMC be damaged here? RAM was kept on auto settings (2.14v).
    Did I really solve the bios problem or could backup bios still be fcked up?
    Changing configuration in memtest,should it be done or just check with the default test?
