OCZ Performance 2x1 gig PC4000 safe voltage

Okay, I recently got this ram kit. However, my mobo will only supply ~2.74v vdimm without any mods. At this voltage, the ram are unstable running on a 166mhz divider (227mhz ram speed). There are several vdimm mods for the mobo that I have, and the simplest one will put the vdimm at 3.05v. Is this a safe voltage for these ram, are am I gonna cook something if I do that particular vdimm mod? Cheers, TIA.

I had the same exact sticks, but 2x512 PC-4200. I gave mine 3v of vdimm (max on my IC7 board) and ran them 24/7. I think you should be fine at 3.05v. Your still covered by OCZ's warranty because they say a max of 3v ± 5%.

EVP stands for (E)xtended (V)oltage (P)rotection. This is a novel OCZ voltage protection feature that allows modules to handle higher voltages. OCZ EVP® protected modules can tolerate VDIMM voltages up to 3.0V ± 5%. All EVP® protected modules are covered under OCZ’s Lifetime Warranty if overvolted within EVP® tolerances.
