2.9V safe?

Voodoo Rufus · Oct 15, 2004

I'm running 2x256MB Geil PC3200 2.5-3-3 in the mobo below, and I'm running 220MHz FSB right now at 2.9V. Only way I can get it Folding stable. Would 2.9V be safe long term?

Also running 1T timings. Would 2T enable me to lower the voltage a bit, even perhaps in exchange for a bit more FSB?

Depending on the ram, but usually not very dangerous. Ran mine in 2.9V for months no damage.

yeah i don't think 2.9v will be harmful at all. once you get over 3.0 it becomes dangerous with certain ram.

I wouldn't think so. Ram loves voltage and keep it cool.

I have little heatsinks I made out of staples on my 133MHz PC-2100, I have been doing 200MHz on 3.2Vdimm for quite a while now with no problems. That would be PC-2100 made PC-3200 I guess

At the first sign of a decrease in ram stability, lower the voltage and speed, but it should be pretty safe.

Ok, thanks guys.

you shouldn't have any trouble with 2.9v. i ran some pc2700 at 3.2v for about 2 months and it's still working perfectly

2.9V safe?
