I have been waiting on the ASUS M2R32-MVP Deluxe motherboard for a couple months now, with every other component ready to go. Unfortunately, I have run out of time now, as I leave for college in a matter of days. I have an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard ordered (and on its way) for a different computer, and I'd like to use that as a temporary solution.

The problem is that my RAM, OCZ Platinum EL XTC PC2-6400, requires 2.1v for operation (according to the manufacturer's website). The M2NPV-VM BIOS only lets me change the voltage up to 1.9v.

Is there ANY way that I can run this RAM at 1.9v? I don't care if it means running the RAM in DDR2-533 at the worst possible timings. Anyone have this RAM that can see if it will undervolt that low?

You might be able to unlock advanced settings in bios with a keystroke or a custom BIOS that allows you to run the ram at its desired voltage
