Voltages

Is 2.8v to high for ram?

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!
Nope. Not by any means. Usually 2.9v is where some rams don't do well, or it may be higher where they start doing well. Depends on the chips in the ram.

Right now i am at 2.98ghz my core voltage is 1.7v
my ram voltage is 2.8v

is this to high?

my temps are between 39c and 43c

Abit IS7 motherboard
Intel Northwood P4 2.6 running at 2.98
PC3500 Kingston HyperX ram
Radeon AIW 9700
WD 36 gig Raptor HDD

what's the max votage for RAM? i got some hynix D43 and i wonder how would they respond to votage (these are in the Geil 4000 sticks)

I've heard D43 is a pretty good OC'er, but i don't know personally. As far as voltage goes, different ram=different volts. Some ram needs it(BH-5, utt, BH-6, some CH-5) some ram doesn't(TCCD). Find out what chips you have, then you'll know.

yes peel off the dudley heat spreaders if they have them and read closely on the the little black chips on the stick .. right down what it says and post them up

i wanna say hynix but could be way off .. cant remmeber what kingston used in its lines of ram ..


hynix arent terrible but they not great either .. i think its max taste for volts was 3.3 .. have to research a little though .. cant be 100%

The max volts for my ram is 2.8v doesnt seem to be very high.


I ran prime95 lsat night, woke up and my computer was restarted. So im guessing this is a little much for my computer, but all my temps and fine and stuff. should i lower my voltage a tad and bring my FSB down a lil too? some people have been tellin me 1.7v is a lil to much

3.85v for a year now. :eek:

Wow, I was nervous @ 3.1 :drool:
