Nehalem-EP......BLOOMFIELD

[Drwho?]

DrWho?, I understand that you are a busy guy at this time, so thanks for providing as much as information you are allowed to. Over at vr-zone is a preview of the Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard, which gives a strong warning not to raise the memory voltage higher than 1,65V, otherwise the CPU will be damaged permanently. Simple question: true or old information or can't you comment on this? (since the imc is in 45nm, it might be true, but i hope not).

Turbo mode is only for extreme editions, right?

I don't think it is accurate. Let's look at the logic behind memory controler...
Before, the memory controler was out of the CPU dice, so, if you burn a X48 ... it is only few 100 $ ... Now, the memory controler in on dice, so, if you burn, it will be expensive ... if using an extreme edition ...

So, electricly speaking, you want to pay attention to the laws of physics ... You got to make sure you align your memory voltage with the memory controler voltage ... I saw already people with illegitimate sample (grrrr) asking why their killed their CPU ... The reason is simple, if you put 1.5Volts on the memory controler, and 1.7 or 1.9V on the memory ... there is an obvious difference of electric potential ... and it will @#$!@#$*!#$

Any "non sunday overclocker" has a little understanding of physics laws, if you connect 2 wires with a different voltage ... you get electric courant.
In the case of Nehalem, you have to pay attention to this, don't connect 2 wires with different voltage together: Make sure your memory controler setting is not too far from the memory voltage.
On X48 , X35 and all the other, it was true too. People just burned chipset and did not really understood what was happening. This time, I come forward, and clarifie the laws of physics with the press, when I did meet them in Europe, USA and asia.

by the way, http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquir...s-qimonda-ddr3 should be enough for 99% of you guys

pay attention to physics laws

I forgot to add, you all overclock at your own risk ....
