Hi,

I'm using DDR-RAM from Corsair. PC2400 2 times 256MB. It's garuaranteed for 150MHz(300MHz DDR), so should I up the voltage when getting higher on the FSB or not?

Hope you'll get my point here.

I am not sure that upping the voltage will alway get a better FSB.

the slew rate is a limiting factor as well as heat.

I don't know if there is enough drive current for some config with high voltages.

if you have all the DDR slots filled upping the voltage beyond just a little may hurt you.

there was a web page in which a certain ddr module OC'ed better with lower voltage.
(ps if anyone knows where that web page is please put a link in this thread, thank you :))
