Well my Christmas break is coming up (exams next week ) and I figured I'd take some time off to take advantage of the freezing cold air in MI and see if I could get some air benchies to join the team.
Thing is, I've had a weird issue with my motherboard where I can't get the DRAM Multiplier to drop below x8. Since I have 1333Mhz RAM, it's already running at 180x8 = 1440 MHz for my daily OC and is only stable with really slow timings and a healthy voltage increase.
If I want to push my CPU for the benchmarks, I'll have to push my RAM as well. Knowing that DRAM voltage must stay within 0.5V of VTT, is there a max "safe" voltage for DRAM knowing they'll be in near zero ambient? Or should I just plunk down and get a faster set?
