The jury is till out on the max mem voltage controversy.Originally Posted by Rammsteiner
Im so glad I didnt go with those OCZ Blade's. The specs look awesome but yeah, if you Uncore cant run it you'll have to downclock the RAM anyway (right?). Although this might allow for tighter timings but well
Instead I got a nice Mushkin kit which had a 100 Euro discount
Anyway, I dont have the parts yet, but to be sure, VTT/QPI or how you want to name it, is best to stay within 1.35V according to Intel, leaving your Vdimm to be max 1.85V (to be sagfe maybe a notch slower), right?
INTEL officially told all the memory makers to keep the max v's to 1.65.
That said, there are quotes from INTEL engineers (well one anyway) that says that you can increase mem v as long as you do not exceed .5v over qpi.
So for example, if you run qpi at 1.35 you should be able to safely run mem v at 1.85v.
From what I can tell though - long term effects of any of this high voltage stuff is unknown.
