Undervolting Memory

[Kobrakai]

I’ve been running 4GB of Corsair DDR2 PC6400 DHX for some time at 1.8v, 4-4-4-12, 800Mhz, and everything is stable, no blue screens whatsoever and passed a whole night of Memtest with no errors.

But I just found out this memory is rated at 1.9-2.2v so it seems I have been running it undervolted.

Basically my question is by running it undervolted will there be any performance decrease or anything like that? Obviously as it seems to run fine, I don’t see the point in increasing the volts as that will just make it run hotter.

No there will be no performance hit, as long as your system is stable your fine

Thanks for the quick reply.

Nope, if it can do it and you're not pushing for more then leave it be, great side effect is running cooler as well.
