Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H - Memory volts ?

[kevpuk]

Hi y'all

Just bolted one of these into an old Dell case for my little bro, along with a E2140 and 2x1GB OCZ DDRII......he is getting Memtest errors (and random BSOD !) and I am thinking memory volts is likely....the board defaults to 1.8v on the RAM and I am pretty sure the the RAM likes 2.1v.......

.....thing is, i cannot find anywhere in the BIOS to up the RAM volts most likely I am missing it......Ctrl-F1 did not seem to show the option either.....not sure what BIOS it is on atm, will check later, but anyone out there no something on this ?

There is no option to up the memory voltage on that board.

Boooo, so I guess slackening the RAM timings and/or notching the speed down to say 667MHz is an option ?

You *may* get away with 5-5-5-18 at 800mhz.

Gonna give that a try first.....reduced latencies first, then MHz....here's hoping
