Default Stability & RAM voltage - 07-10-2012, 23:11 | posts: 740 | Location: Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm using these DDR3-1866 modules, listed here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820220650

It's rated at 9-11-9-27 with 1.65V, however anything under 1.8V on my ASRock Extreme 4 x79 gives me errors on Linpack *OCCT* My question is, why would I need so much more voltage to stabilize the ram when it's listed by the manu @ 1.65V? I'm using the modules' xmp profile. I didn't overclock the cpu while testing this out. I got Linpack errors @ 3.2GHz *stock* with 1.65V, with 1.8V I got none.

Also, can 1.8V damage my memory? *I often leave my sys on 24/7.*
