Overclocking Memory

[stelleg151]

I am wondering what upping the stock voltage from 2.6 to 2.75 will do to memory's life, because a gig of nice memory is expensive today, around 250, and I want that 250 to last....

Thanks

would decrease the life of the memory.. don't up the voltage unleess itis necessary for the overclock.. or just buy faster rated ram.

Doubts if upping the voltage a 10th or 2 would hurt it much

That depends on what memory you have. A lot of memory is already specified for running at 2.75V.

Most brand name memories have a rated range, for example 2.6V-3.1V.
