***Asus Rampage III Extreme Owners Thread***

Quick question - Will running the PLL voltage lower than normal (around 1.4) cause any degradation of my i7 970?

I don't know, I run mine @ 1.2V Ask me in a couple of months.

For the boards that allowed it, on the i7 920/930 a lot of people were running lower voltages on the PLL and achieving better overclocks. As long as it's stable, you should be fine.

I actually had different experience and only know that bassplayer had found it to be more stable with Bloomfield.
But if it works...

@Toritechie:
I could not agree more with turtletrax, but there is one thing you can do first, just to be sure, and doesn't require additional HW. Take that 3rd memory stick you pulled out and swap with 2nd one that is still on MB. That way you will be sure there is no problem with one of RAM sticks and that third channel on CPU's IMC is dammaged.
