Increasing Ram Volatge

[silentplanner]

does increasing ram voltage will increase its transfer rate? My motherboard supports 1.8v to 2.2v automatically it sets 1.8v

Increasing RAM voltage could damage your RAM etc. And As far as I know increasing the voltage won't increase the transfer rate.

RAM voltage normally depends on the RAM thats installed. Check the specs of your ram and what voltage they should be running at.

The only advantave to increasing voltage is it sometimes lets you either increase the ram speed or decrease the timings. Simply increasing the voltage will not speed anything up

so what should i do

 

[Supahos]

Are you having problems? if not leave it alone, it won't speed anything up to just increase voltage.

 

[silentplanner]

many times i increased voltage to 1.92v on some forums i read that increasing voltage improves data transfer and there should be some reason why intel gave this option?

 

[Supahos]

The increase in voltage is for faster (or higher performance See: lower timings) memory to perform the way its supposed to. Raising voltage above the rated amount for the kit will not make a kit run faster. Some ram requires different voltages, that is why the numbers can be moved.

so how to know what voltage does my ram require i increased 1.8v to 1.92v for a month i used this setting but in cpuz ram voltage is still showing 1.8v

CPUZ doesn't tell you what voltage its running at, it shows you what the memory is rated for. The tab that shows what it is ACTUALLY running at is the memory tab which has no value for Voltage, the SPD tab that you are likely looking at basically means nothing. If everything is stable a 1.92v it won't hurt anything I'd just leave it there.

can u suggest me best specification application than cpuz

Cpu-z is a fine program its the one I use to check my memory. It does what it supposed to do, you just have to know which screens to use. Pretty much the only useful ones are the memory tab and CPU tab.
