What will it help if I increase it? It's currently at 2.65 and I can take it a whole lot higher, to 3.0 or somthing. I know it will help me OC the FSB because of the ram right? but is it dangerous to anythign because it shows no diff in temp sign, anyone know?

Never heard of people touching that option, that's why I asked, I raised it a bit and it let me get to 10x155 right now, and only at 43C max, I'm wondering why people don't talk about that option, the CPU Vcore didn't help a bit at all, windows just didn't start up, so I'll ask for the 5th time lol, has any1 ever tried raising it and got bad resutls or side effects? Sorry for asking this question over again.

I'm also running my DDR RAM's at 2.6V, that's 0.1V over default. I have heard that it's ok to use 2.7V, but if you use anything over that, there is a big chance of killing your RAM's, so be careful.

I run my ddr voltage at 2.9v as it give better stability at higher fsb with Epox 8K7A+ an KG7.

I would never run my RAM's at such high volteges! I don't see how you dare to do it, have you got some extra cooling on them?

I'm running with a pice of crap A7M266 mobo, and I had to up it with about 0,2 to get my FSB to do 150. :( I'm getting a new mobo thou, so OC'ing will be a lot more fun when the multiplier ain't locked :)

I was under the impression that default voltage for DDR RAM was 2.4v. I know that most boards ship with +0.1 higher than that, such as EPoX's boards, which ship at 2.5v. Could anyone clarify that for me?

I have mine at 2.7 it all the farther it will go and have had no problems. Then again the ram came with heat spreaders.

Both my EPoX boards (8KHA and 8K7A) has 2.6V as default.

I've run both sticks of DDR at maximum voltage on my 8K7A, and they ran just fine. It was when I was experimenting with 170 FSB.. I don't have dedicated cooling for them, but I do have the ATA-66 cable bent in such a way that it diverts some of my intake fan's air right into the middle of the two DIMMs.

That is 2.9V, right?
How long did you run them that high?
What brand is it?
Also could you give me some good timings for my mem? I really would like to get some better Mem scores. :D
