Can a H61 mobo run 1.8v ddr3 ram?

[Rudy Seehunny]

I recently bought a 4gb stick of ram on eBay rated at 1.8v. Can I run it on a biostar h61mlv3 board with a core i5 2400?
The motherboard supports voltage between 1.5v to 1.65v

1.8v ddr3 ram ?? that must be some old first release stuff I don't thing I would run over 1.65 ddr3 officially runs at 1.5v as long as that cpu's memory controller can hang with it and not burn out ??

In addition, JEDEC states that memory modules must withstand up to 1.80 volts[a] before incurring permanent damage, although they are not required to function correctly at that level

1.8v is DDR2 voltages. Do you have a link?

I wouldn't you tisk frying the CPU you can get Tam perfectly cheep hats runs at 1.5v

That does appear to be DDR3 from the pictures however the Latency and voltage are DDR2 ratings, that seller does have multiple warning about not working in Intel systems.

I wonder if they are using a standard form and did not fix some of the information.
If this was my system I would not but that RAM, to many unknown's.

they made it ddr3 at 1.8 but old like first release stuff long gone [probly due it was burning up cpu's/memory controllers ]

don't forget the memory controller was on the boards then and not in the cpu as now that may make a big difference in how much voltage it could of took ??

Voltage 1.8V

Appears to be generic sticks for OEM PC manufacturers which may well be proprietary, in the early days of DDR3 many manufacturers (Dell, Compaq, etc) would use proprietary DRAM in their prebuilts so if you wanted to upgrade you had to go through them and highly inflated prices (often 100-300% overpriced compared to 'normal' off the shelf DRAM. I wouldn't touch them

that I linked did not look like any oem memory

seem like the memory to be got back then maybe ddr2 converted and had to keep 1.8v until real ddr3 memory was manufactured for them first combo boards that used ddr2 and ddr3 controllers on the board [775]
