    You should try the seach button.. At given time their has been many threads about this subject -

    but yes It should be completly safe.. anything above 3.4V is (rated) to much for 24/7

    Maybe, but I wouldn't run my memory 24/7 with 3.6V.
    3.2V should be OK, place a fan over the memory, so it stays cool.

    I thought 160nm BH-5 could take 3.6V at max 24/7?
    It should be safe 24/7, I'd be more worried about the voltage controller And if the mems do get hot, try cooling them with a fan @ 7V?
    Hell, I ran Jupiler's memory at 3.55V for about a month 24/7 and it didn't complain but shhht, don't tell him

    3.6 volts is for the Bh-5 for the northbridge, memcontroller and whatnot it's a whole new story. But i guess 3.2~3.3 should be no trouble. Otherwise trust the RMA, it's your friend you know.
