** 24HR ONLY DEAL - KINGSTON 8GB 1600MHz GENESIS DDR3 KIT ONLY £49.99 Delivered! **

Hold on ? 1600MHz @ 9-9-9-27 @ 1.65V for sandybridge as I thought sandybridge ram limit is no more than 1.50V ? Or does it work 1600MHz @ 9-9-9-27 @ 1.50V without any damaged ?

Confused:confused:
 
Why are they rated at 1.65v then if they can do 1.5v? Obviously its good that they can, just seems weird to feed them a lot more volts than needed
 
my ripjaw(original) RAM completes Memtest at 1.5v without error when they were designed for 1.65v so these should be perfectly fine for 1.5v

My memory ram is rated 2000MHz @ 1.65V @ 9-9-9-24-1T but I did try sandybridge by doing all three's 1333MHz, 1600MHz and 1866MHz @ 1.50V @ 9-9-9-24-1T and never get stable at all ? Look like it had to do more than 1.50V to get my 4.6GHz stable!

These memory ram ocuk offer for 24 hours as the spec does say: M/B Chipset: INTEL P67 (does it mean it not suitable for INTEL Z68) M/B ?

Just installed mine & no performance loss compared to the 7,8,7,20 these have replaced so timings seem a bit irrelevant now :cool:, I set the volts to 1.55v just to be safe & got my overclock back on, happy chappy :D.
 
I am pretty sure that ocuk say it was stable at 1.5V (why push memory up to 1.6V) :confused: look like u need to notch up vcore instead of memory ?


We find with the Kingston / Corsair the sweet spot for voltage is 1.40 - 1.60v, it varies from module to module, what motherboard etc.

Ah ok fair point Gibbo. So, I can try mine 1.40, if unstable, try push up once notch as a time all the way up to 1.60 on the ram until it get stable. Thanks Gibbo.
