2.8 is a modest overvolt for most ram. Any overvolting creates risk, but 2.8 is a pretty small one. Looking at your sig, you need more ram as 128 in this day and age is running on empty. The prices have gone down in the last 6 weeks. You may want to look into it.

128??? i see 768.
anyway, overvolting is relative from type of ram to type of ram. BH-5 can take 3.6+ volts easily, TCCD shouldnt go over 2.9. im guessing your ram is older, and most older ram can take more volts (afaik), so that 2.8 is fine.
