Hi,

Just built my first build, I'm using 2 x 2GB Crucial Ballistix 7-7-7-24 1333MHz (Manufacturer part number: BL2KIT25664BN1337).

I have manually adjusted the timings in the BIOS to 7-7-7-24 as prescribed on the packaging.

Now, do I need to adjust the voltage? It is recommended to have 1.65v however at the moment it is left to 'Auto' in the BIOS (which I believe is 1.5v), and seems to be working fine? :confused:

Is memory like the CPU where more voltage equals more heat equals more wear etc?

Many thanks if anyone can advise me whether I need to change anything!
