Does anyone here have this OCZ DDR2 memory?

[Chaotic42]

It's a long shot, but OCZ simply doesn't seem to want to reply to my emails and Newegg says they don't keep track of compatability issues.

My question is, in the BIOS, is this memory 1.8V? Here's a link to it:

OCZ Gold Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5400)

I realize that is says 1.8V on the site, but it appears that the site may be wrong. I'd appreciate it if anyone could check for me.

Was pretty sure I read this was 1.9V. I do not own it, but I researched OCZ RAM relatively thoroughly before deciding on my Corsair stuff.

I think this is the same stuff you linked : OCZ Techs and it says 1.9V there. Pretty sure I read it elsewhere too, but can't seem to find where atm, probably the NCIX forums, I'll dig around and try and find the info for you.

Hope that helps, KT.

Newegg says 1.8V and OCZ site says 1.9V

my guess is that it will run on 1.8V-1.9V in bios but I see how you are trying to find out someone with the memory and what there bios say but bios voltages and temps aren't always accurate.

Well, what has me worried, other than the fact that my motherboard (which needs 1.8V memory) wouldn't post is that OCZ also says that the memory can be set to 2.5V +/- 5%.

2.5V*(.95) is 2.09V which is too high.

This is why I went with the Corsair, there were just too many unanswered questions for me with the OCZ memory. There is an OCZ support thread Thread here in the CPU forums . You may be able to get further help there, but don't bet on it.

Ah, I misread. One it's 2.2V on the site, not 2.5V (That's what I get for typing at 3am) and second it can support voltages up to 2.2V +/- 5%. That probably means up to 2.09V at the very least.

Duh.

I hope that 1.9V is close enough for my motherboard.

Contrary to what Keith thinks, you can get all the help you need.

@Chaotic,

What board are you using these in?
The product page at OCZ.com is here: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_5400_gold_dual_channel

Yes they can use up to 2.2V, but only need 1.9V to run rated DDR667 speeds at 4-4-4 timings.
