i want a ddr3 2400mhz @1.5v memory

[Sparky_joe1]

Can someone who know for sure tell me if it is possible to find ddr3 2400mhz @1.5v ?? I have a dz77ga-70k Intel Extreme board with i7 3770K CPU It says you can overclock it with 2400mhz with this CPU but it will not work installing the 1.65v memory.

2400 comes in 1.6 (seldom) and the norm is 1.65 - thing with Intel mobos (Intel Brand) is the BIOS support is rather skimpy and they have never documented very well, i.e. they show 'tested' memory, and have a single 2400 listing, but don't even give the full model number, which probably means they stuck a 2400 stick in and it booted to the default of 1066 and so it was good. Think the highest I would try is 2133 and even then maybe 16GB max, the 1.6/1.65 voltage should be OK

Yea, I tried the Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400mhz 1.65v @ 8gbx4. I used the XMP settings in the bios and it fried the board. I am running on new one now the Kingston HyperX Savage 1600 and it is running great. I am still just curious how high I might could go within reason. It is rated 1333/1600/oc2400. Would you think that the 1866mhz would be really much difference than the 1600 before I waste money on it?

Not at all.. there is almost no gain in Gaming unless you are interested in video editing or a Production PC usage..

See this RAM review..

1866 Hyperx Savage would be only marginally better, but not significant.
Tighter timings in Corsair Vengeance 1866 might justify extra expense, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233536

I was afraid the 1.6v would not work in my board so I bought tonight the 1.5 @ 1866 vengeance pro 8gbx4 for my board. kinda wish now that I would have ordered the 2133mhz just to see but damn, I have a table covered in memory I have been testing and this shit gets expensive you know. I wish I knew for damn certain that someone has or is running the corsair vengeance pro 2400 if it is possible. I just don't know how to adjust all the timings to try it if it would run the 1.6 or 1.65 volt. I guess I will stop at 1866 unless anyone can tell me if the 2133mhz definitely willwork in my dz77gal-70k intel board. I guess the 1.5 is probably all this intel will run... open for an education if you guy know.....

You should be able to get away with higher voltage dimms and higher speeds over 1600, but it is impossible to say that 2133 or 1.65 or 1.6 will work with XMP. If it were me, I'd play it safe and run1866 at 1.5 or 1.6. I would not push it further for fear of catching something on fire.

So if I decided to, you are saying to use the 1866mhz @ factory volt of 1.5 and just tweak the voltage of it up a bit?

No education here buddy, but the Intel spec page for the DZ77GA-70K clearly mentions "Dual DDR3 1333/1600/2400 O.C." under Memory specs..

Here is the link: http://ark.intel.com/products/63244/Intel-Desktop-Board-DZ77GA-70K#@specifications

So you can, without a doubt, get 2400 DDR3 -- PCPartpicker.com, which is a very good site for checking compatibility issues, shows that you could even get DDR3-3200 memory with the DZ77GA-70K board...

Not that I think 2400 1.5v will happen... But if you really wanted to make a run at it your best bet is to buy some 3000 or better rated RAM, drop speed to 2400 manually and see how low you can go with voltage... I have seen people ganwge to get cl11 2400 RAM at 1.55-56v before and a single guy manage 2400 CL 12 @ 1.51v
