2.2v or 2.25v??

[Silences]

Hello,

I was just in my BIOS setting the voltage for my new ram and saw that the voltage settings go from 2.15v to 2.25v. Whereas the ram I am putting in is 2.2v. Will the extra .05v damage the ram?

Nope, but it will make the ram run hotter. Unless you hit an oc'ing wall leave it at it's stock voltage.

2.15 then 2.25? sounds like a p5b board?

I'd say anything over 2.1 make sure you have active cooling on the ram.

Yeah its a P5B Deluxe. The stock setting of my RAM is 2.2v So I was just hoping the extra .05v wont hurt it. Its PatriotXtreme 4-4-4-12 High Performance RAM, and has some beefy heat sinks on either side of the RAM. Its 2 Sticks, 1gb each.

Thats a link the the exact RAM.

Since it's only a bit more than a 2% difference, I can't see it causing a problem.

Sounds like an Asus board.
If it’s the P5B series, setting the voltage at 2.25 actually ends up at 2.2 volts and verifiable using a digital voltmeter.
You’ll be fine but 2.15 is within specs of the ram
