Just to clarify, for people who read this thread, and didn't know any better: Jack meant
.05 volts over their rated spec., not .5 volts.

Because ½ a volt over spec. will kill nearly all RAM, most instantaneously.*
*Yes, we all know that, properly cooled, BH-5 (and BH-6, for that matter) can take some outrageous voltages.
