hit a wall, is 2.3v safe?

hi guys, im running this stuff here http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_5400_gold_gx_xtc_dual_channel and i seem to have hit a bit of a wall

image of my wall:




right now i am giveing 2.25v to them, i also have a fan blowing over them, and to the touch, they are pretty cool. i dont really need an extra hundred mhz on the cpu, but what a neat trick that would be if i could pull it off in a stable manner. ive been to 3.3ghz already, and tasted 3.4 a couple of times with just the 2.25 ocz says is ok, but ddr 950 is just so close.. if they are confident 2.2v +-5% is ok, an extra .05v on top of that wouldnt hurt... would it?

Well, assuming 2.2 +/- 5% that would be a maximum of 2.31 Volts 5% being .11, so I would say you are still within spec. But their lifetime maybe reduced from 60 years...to say 45 or so

thanks

math skills are sorely lacking

please post your results when you are done!


Oh, BTW, if you dont have good airflow over the ram, i recommend looking into some.

2.3Vdimm for DDR2 is the point I would be looking into active cooling.

Ok, who am I kidding mod up some fans on those

thanks guys

im still doing the same speeds as the screenie. the fan i am useing is just a standard s939 fan placed slightly above the center of the stix. to the touch the sticks are cool, but do you think it would be better to strap 2 fans together then mount them above the sticks for total coverage? im assumeing yes, but if it isnt required, then ill save myself the trouble...

thanks again

If you're cooling the memory then 2.3V is A O K!!
