I don't think they manufacturer Samsung Green DDR3 1600 anymore, but I'd quite like another 8GB. MM looks to require 1000 posts so I think my only option is eBay where I'll never know if someone has fried the chips due to massive volts and O/C. Is my only option brand new 16GB DDR3?

Cheers

I would buy a similar voltage kit with same or higher Frequency and same or tighter timings and then match the frequency and timings to your existing memory.

You, hopefully, shouldn't have a problem - especially with a kit running at lower than spec frequency and looser timings to match your present memory.

EDIT: Perhaps do a search on 1866 memory running at 1600 at 1.35v. There's some kits that run at 1833 at 1.5V with tighter timings than yours. There's a chance these may run at 1.35v @ 1600Mhz with slacker timings. Google may reveal some hits...

Or you over volt your present memory...
