RAM v MB Voltage

[mick4545]

If my Q9450 cpu ever arrives I will be sloting it into an IP35 Pro MB with 4 gig (2x2) of OCZ 800Mhz Reaper RAM. The RAM is rated at 2.1v, The default MB RAM voltage is 1.9.

Should the first thing I do be up the volts to 2.1 or see if it runs at stock.

First boot straight into bios with one stick installed, and up the voltage before saving, turning off and installing the rest. The Abit boards have a habit of not liking 4 sticks unless the voltage has already been upped, there's been loads of related posts about it.

Thats what I'll do then. Thanks
