Hello all,
After reading a certain thread on this forum i have realised that having 1.65v ram for my Sandy Bridge rig is
Bit of my background:
When I first built this rig a month ago I had trouble with the computer not operating correctly with the original 1.5v Vengeance ram I initially bought. Later troubleshooting, with a different set of ram this time resulting in the same instability problem with the Corsair xms3 1.65v ram, it turned out to be a faulty board and having it replaced now all was working.
The dilemma I’m having now is ignorantly thinking 1.65v ram was ok, the Corsair xms3 1.65v ram I swapped at the store to troubleshoot with i kept. Also to help the clearance issue with the Noctua D14 as appose to raising the fan to clear the original Vengeance's high heat spreaders.
System configuration:
Motherboard: asus p8p67 delux
Memory: 2x 4GB Corsair xms3 1600 @ 1.65v
Cpu: 2600k o/c to 4.6ghz prime95 stable
Hsf: Noctua D14
Psu: Corsair 750hx
Gpu: GTX 580
Uses: Overclocking and heavy gaming
In a week’s time my store will have the new Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600 low profile series at 1.35v and 1.5v, which voltage should i most benefit from?
Thanks.
