You'll only kill it if you put to much voltage through it and the RAM overheats, cooking itself.

I have Corsairs Value RAM DDR 533 2GB Kit, and thats running at DDr2 800 at 4.4.4.10 with 2.0v (IIRC on volts).

Running fine

Then it is running at default 1.8v

Bench superpi 1M and 32M and push it hard.

I have the same ram sticks and they have been running at 755mhz 24/7 at 1.9v and they hardly get warm. This is sweet ram, check your other thread for my screenies.

I look at all those high priced pc6400 ram sticks and smile, knowing that I got 2 gigs of very clockable ram for £110!

I checked the supplier of the ram and 2 gigs now cost £150inc vat

Hehe its good poo tbh. Im gonna get ram heatsinks just to snazz them up..

I dont see the point of lashing money on RAM.

I have just run 3dmark06 6 times and then memory test in sandra and striaght back to 3dmark06.

I wouldnt even say there warm tbh. Well impressed.

This Corsair Value ram isn't too shabby really.

I've got 4 sticks of 512mb DDR2 667mhz sitting at 857Mhz with my overclock, and that's with 4-4-4-12 timings, at 1.9v.

Don't get me wrong, I think my RAM does limit my overclock now, as 3.2 on my processor boots but isn't stable.

I did plan to get some more fancy RAM, but then prices went stupid and I felt it just wasn't worth the expense now for the extra overclock I might get.

Just have fun with it is what I say!
