So when you set 1.65 in bios, yet eg it overvolts to 1.76 (measured via DMM) in some cases : it's not the board, but still the ram ? Take the Gene II , preset 1800Mhz ram speed it overvolts to 1.8, set 2000Mhz it sets 2volts. Still the ram then ? I know most here are experienced users that hardly trust bios settings and always have a DMM nearby. Some users just trust AUTO settings or presets. I'm talking in the name of the latter, the plug and play users.

Look I'm just wild guessing here as the first Elpida that died on me (kingston Dimm) was the one closest to the IOH. Just trying to remain logic... not trying to talk nonsense as you so kindly write down time after time. The 2 OCZ kits are still running strong. The Kingston kit died on me the next day, during sub stock volt/speed testing.

I know these Ram IC's are fragile from the many posts here , but why does one dimm die and the other two still go on ? It's the same PCB/IC combo in the same kit ? Also explain me why the 2 Blade kits get very warm, yet the Kingstons are barely warm ? I think only Elpida can answer the real question. Did they maybe reduce quality control to speed up production ?

Sorry to be repetitive but it seems I'm being misunderstood (probably due to my lack of your mother tongue)
