HAHA told ya it was safe intel 2400 ddr3 ram specs :)

[grkM3]

this is right from intel.com

I always wondred why my asus MIVE board had a 2400 ddr setting

 

[grkM3]

IM going back to 1.665 volts now to hit my 2200 mhz again since most of you were telling me I was crazzy.

here is intel offcially saying 1.65 is perfectly SAFE !!!!

10 bucks says Toyota is buying new ram as I type this lol

 

[MarkLuvsCS]

Note: that is saying for their 1156 i7 platform it is certified to run up to 2400mhz.

if your current rig is an 1155 i7 as in your sig I would do a lot more research before putting 1.65v into the sandy bridge cpu. I would hate to see anyone kill their CPU testing it with so much voltage without more research.

I already checked its for 1st and 2nd gen I7s,you can buy 2133 1.65 volt ram on new egg right now and its says made for intel sandy bridge and its intel xmp certified.

would RAM of that freq be worth the mark-up?

here is 8gb for 149 at newegg,not too much and Im sure the prices will drop now that there is finally apoval from intel about 1.65 volts and more makers will put out higher clocked chips.

here is the 8gb set

is that a set of fans i see packaged with them? the heck is that for? i was under the impression that CPU and GPU were the only components that needed dedicated heatsinks/fans.

 

[grkM3]

here is another 8 GB set for 119 (this one has no fans)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231476

and most overclocking ram comes with fans to help them stay cool,I dont use them and my sticks dont get hot at all but its nice to have them if your case dosnt have good air flow.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Yeah, it seems like all of those "1.65v certified" platforms are all P55 chipset (1156 socket).

SB is 1155, which is 1.575v max on the memory controller.

okay can you not read the second picture,it clearly shows intel second gen and even says 2600k on the right.

Im sorry to come off rude but what you just posted is what the majority of people spread around here,nothing but speculations of what they think is safe.

and for you I5 guys dont worry intel has your back also.

 

[sangyup81]

What's truly "safe" is that which does not void your warranty =)

 

[toyota]

yeah I really want to spend over twice the price, pump extra voltage and have to use fans to cool my memory for basically zero return in gaming under real world conditions.

Bro going from ddr3-1600 to 2133 gives you .3 fps in crysis 2

whats wrong with you...who wouldn't spend 200$ on that.

 

[Diogenes2]

1.65v RAM is mostly overclocked, timing crippled 1.5v RAM ...

 

[grkM3]

The 8gb kit I posted is 119 and has no fans.

Iv seen 4 gb kits for under 80 and you don't need the fans.

I guess my chest thumping 2133 kit will last a while huh toyota,maybe even as long as my moms toyota camrey

 

[blackened23]

He sure showed you toyota D:

and 1333 and 1600 memory has been 50 and 40 bucks so whats your point. you are still paying twice the price for nothing in return as for as real world gaming goes.

This has nothing to do with price/performance

Go and read the crap you post about what you think is safe.I just showed you intel officially supporting 2133 isn't that what you asked for?

well its the official "crap" that we heard when Sandy Bridge came out. there was something from Intel that said 1.5 was the standard and should not be exceeded by 5% aka 1.575.

 

[blackened23]

The intel official data sheet shows that 2nd generation i7 / i5 processors require 1.5V ram:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/2nd-gen-core-desktop-vol-1-datasheet.html

Section 1.2.1

DDR 3 I/O voltage of 1.5V required

So what we know here is that the official data sheet shows that 2nd gen i7/i5 processors require 1.5V ram, and they posted conflicting information on their ram compatibility list.

Data sheet is dated May 2011, this is their MOST RECENT document...
I'm guessing they put the incorrect RAM on their ram compatibility list, their official processor data sheets show that indeed 1.5V ram is required.

With the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors like the Intel Core i5-2500K and Intel Core i7-2600K if you use memory at 1.65v you can damage the processor and void the warranty. Back in May I was asked about running memory at 1.65v on the 2nd generation processors and was told that doing so is pushing the tolerance on the memory controller and can damage the processor and void the warranty. The engineer say if you already have memory running at 1.65v as soon as you turn the system on, to go into the Bios and change the setting to 1.5v (which most good memory should have multiple profiles allow it to run at the lower voltage). If you are buying new RAM stay away from anything higher than the 1.5v. I know of 2 cases where someone has run their memory above 1.5v and damaged the processor and tech support has stated that their warranty is void because they are running out of spec.
In the end save yourself the headache; just pick up memory at the supported voltage.

This is what I figured. Appears the RAM compatibility grkm3 posted earlier had an oversight -- the datasheets clearly show that SB and *all* 2nd gen I5/I7 processors require 1.5V ram.

ty and maybe we can get this framed for grkM3.

You don't really think he'll lower his memory voltage do you :sneaky:

Its all good I used to push the envelope too back in the day, no voltage was too high for me.

 

[grkM3]

The spec sheets are rivised from intel and were posted in augest.it clearly shows 2133 at 1.65 and your warranty is 100& intact using the dims they provided.

They also list 1600-1800 as supported and there are many articles online sayibg ivy will launch with native 2133 support.I got these specs off intel.com

I don't kbow what other proof you guys need that 1.65 is safe
