Is this acceptable?

Hey, I want to run my ram at 3.6 volts. It ran fine like that at high fsb and low latency (2-2-2-5 at 240Mhz) in my dfi ultra infinity that was volt modded. I sold it and am running the ram in my stepdad's computer. To get 3.6 I was going to run the 5 volt line from the power supply directly to the ram but with a 3.6 volt zener diode in between. Can this be done or will it all fry? I don't want to be stuck at only 3.3 volts after modding, and I can't turn up the rails on my power supply.

what kind of PSU is it and what are its ratings?

You cant run it directly to the ram, but u can run it to the Source pad of the vdimm mosfet, unsolder it from the board, put some insulation between the mosfet and board and then solder wire from +5V to source pad (bottom of mosfet) The only problem with this is on some boards it shoots 5V instead of 3.3V to certain parts of the southbridge and PLL Chips

I got a new 550 watt rosewill psu. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-182-010&depa=0

It seems too scary to supply 5 volts to the mosfets.

just solder your 3.3V rail to it, and adjust the pot on your psu so the 3.3V is at 3.6.
