What a load of BS, same thing happened when Nehalem was launched and Intel posted sticker on all their boards with a big sign " DO NOT EXCEED 1.65v ON YOUR RAM OR YOUR CPU WILL DIE"...and how many died?
Again the marketing guys are getting ahead of themselves...where are the reports of many that died, the CPU only came out on the market yesterday for heavens sake???

Do you have some proof of the posted sticker.:pics:
 
Thanks Mat
Wow it's not 1.55v it's 1.64v MAX from intel. Thats why i like these forms myth busting.:D
 
1.65 for 1366.
1.55 for SB.

Could you show the Intel documentation showing 1.55v for SB.:)

EDIT: I found it my self myth busting, it's 1.65v MAX.

QUOTE:Main Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel
® SDRAM memory specifications, the
board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
data structure. If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a
notification to this effect on the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to
configure the memory controller for normal operation.
The Desktop Board supports the following memory and interface:
• Four 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module
(DIMM) sockets with gold-plated contacts arranged in two channels
• 2133 MHz to 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM Memory Modules
• Support for single- and dual-channel memory interleaving
• Unbuffered, non-registered single- or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of
1.65 V or less
NOTE
Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.65 V may damage the
processor.
• Non-ECC DDR3 memory
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
• Up to 32 GB maximum total system memory using 8 GB DIMMs
NOTE
32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4 GB of memory.
These operating systems will report less than 4 GB because of the memory
used by add-in graphics cards and other system resources.
