Hello,
I went through my BIOS yesterday prepairing to OC my rig. I've run it for a week watching for leaks in the WC loop, checking for system stability, etc.
So... here's my system specs:
CPU: Intel i7 920
Mobo: Foxconn Bloodrage
Ram: Mushkin Redline DDR3 1600 (6-7-6-18 1.65v)
HDD: Two Intel x25-m SSDs in RAID0
etc...
I go through the BIOS and see that the Mushkin RAM I'm running is already running the XMP profile and the settings were 6-7-6-18, but the voltage was 1.85v. I kinda freaked and disabled the XMP, manually set the v down to 1.60 with all settings on auto. Now the memory clocks in at 8-8-8-24.
- Do you think any long term damage could have been done to the i7?
- Does anyone know why it would volt to 1.85? From everything I've read, that's very excessive.
- Anyone have any experience OC'ing this RAM?
I haven't gone through the process of OC'ing the CPU / RAM, but it looks like I'll be doing everything in small steps, testing as I go. I don't know if any damage was done, or if it even mattered. Its my first i7 OC, but not my first Intel OC.
Anyway, any thoughts on this would be welcome.
