Can I use 2.4v for 24/7. There is no elaborate cooling, just stock.. What is the highest voltage you use for 24/7?

2.4 no way. maybe MAYBE 2.3 but I would stay 2.2 to be safe if you have no cooling for them.

Ya after 2.2 without heatspreaders your toast. get some cooling on there. try Here (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5533/ram-33/CoolIT_Systems_RAM_Fan_-_Blue_LED.html?tl=g40c18s235)

my ram came with the basic black heatspreaders, that's all I'm using...

I'll have to disagree with everyone. I have Teamgroup ram that doesn't come with heatsinks and it gets cooled just as well, if not better than ram WITH heatspreaders. They've been known to trap in heat, but it all depends on the heatspreader of course.

I will say, however, I wouldn't go running 2.4v 24/7 without a fan on the ram. Just a heatspreader is not enough. If you stick an 80mm ran over the ram, 2.4v would be acceptable...but not ideal.

What specific memory are you using?
