I'd thought I should ask since OCZ warranties it up to 3.1, or atleast that's what anandtech said in the review :x

I know that they warranty up to 3.0V + or - 5% ( which works out to be 3.15V) so yes, it is under warranty at 3.1V as long as it doesn't spike above 3.15V.

I'm not trying to be a smart a** or anything, I'm really curious. Could they tell if you went over 3.15? Would there be some kind of evidence to show you exceeded warranty limits? Has anyone ever had to RMA due to overvolting and if so, had it denied?

good question unless they put micro fuses in line i dont think anyone could tell.. i think its a psychological barrier. plus most chips are rated for 3.5/6 max so there still is headroom. i betcha more ram fails from heat than overvoltage..of course heat is a product of voltage..

More than 2.8 volts won't help a thing and actually cause them to error out. They use ICs based on a .09 micron process that require a lot less voltage to get to spec.
