low voltage ddr3?

vian_siu · 11 Oct 2009 at 21:01

i would like to ask does the low voltage ddr3 ram for i5 (1.65v) work on am3 or 790i ultra mobo(which uses 1.9v ddr3 ram)?

i would like to have some pictures before i risk my striker ii extrme

The bios has options for memory voltage running from v1.50 to v3.10 so I guess it shouldn't be a problem.

not sure but the am3 "high voltage" ddr3 is typically cheaper so just go for that. or have you already got some you're wanting to try?

not really but the low voltage are more steady available and more to choose from

if it works then i am think getting this:

Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) [CMX4GX3M2A1600C9]

or

OCZ Obsidian 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 Dual Channel (OCZ3OB1600LV4GK) [OCZ3OB1600LV4GK]

Think you'd be better getting the cheaper OCZ memory on special this week, or the G.Skill Ripjaw stuff. I don't see why it's worth paying more for that corsair memory.

I have tested 4gb of GSkill CL9 1600mhz DDR3 on my Striker II extreme.

I was able to it at CL7 with 1.65 volts

Looks like there will be some very low voltage RAM available soon..

G.Skill has revealed its ECO memory line-up, a total of six DDR3 kits that work from 1333MHz to 1600MHz at a stunningly low voltage of 1.35V.

I wonder if these will help improve LGA1366 overclocks by taking some heat stress off the CPU?
