Was on OCN and had this comment posted towards me:

also i noticed in your sig your running an am2 board i heard its not good to pump to much voltage on your ram with am2 AMD...because you could ruin the mem controller on the cpu or something to effect

There any truth to this - what should be the max vDimm i set if so (for either 24/7 or benching)
This is for the non-T (DDR2) board i'm asking specifically about

2.2 - 2.3v is fine for DDR2 mobos and B3's and 720's or better.

using ram that can use lower volts is helpfull..

I have yet to destroy a CPU from Too much Vdimm... I even push the NB past what any normal person would on water and that has been 1.6v 24/7 for one year on a 9950 B3...@ 3.5ghz/2600mhz NB with 2.4v vdimm.


The new memory controllers are even better.....If its something your concerned with just run Dimms that clock good @ 2.2volts or less like the new LV Blades by OCZ.

Ive been pushing the Volts to insane levels with air and water from PhI and even to the 550 im running . matter of fact my 550 uses 2.2v @ 4100mhz 24/7 with 1.4volts on the NB.

If anything is going to ruin your CPU ,,
Having (CPU/NBvolts) too High while going for Uber NBclocks will do it.

your welcome,,Have a great day

We have pumped some serious juice to the ram....upwards of 2.4v on ddr 3......

I would be more worried about the ram degrading at those volts long before the IMC in the CPU.
