Think back around 2 yrs ago when volt modding was a science. Rarely did you hear about people killing their ram modules. They initiated a cleaner volt mod and were cautious on how far they took their memory. Any joe can go buy a DFI and crank the voltage out of the box. The funny thing about this whole scenerio is those who know they fubar'd their ram arent man enough to admit it, therefore UTT and DFI catch blame for this.. To be honest, i saw this coming.

I do believe that UTT isnt the same as old BH-5... 3.4V is probably the limit on these modules.
The root problem now is that how to make sure every untested chip from winbond is 100% ok even within the chip spec ? It's impossible for winbond to have 100% yield rare ... There must be some chip which is not 100% ok in chip level testing , even it's only one transistor compare to the other million ones ... And it's possible that application testing or module level testing can not find it ...
