Hi everyone! I am new in this community. I'm curious of what will happens to my G3258's memory controller if I set my DRAM's to 1,65v just to get stables and lower latency.

I'd read some post where everyone says that using 1,65v stick with haswell CPU will blow the memory controller and broke the CPU, but I don't know if pushing manually my DRAM's to 1,65v to get lower latency (7-7-7-20 on 1333GHz stick's from Hynix)), is the same as using 1,65v.

What will happens to the CPU's memory controller if I push my DRAM's to 1,65v? Is the same as using 1,65v factory sticks?


Specs
Motherboard: MSI H81M-E33
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 (OC to 4,8GHz with 1,36v)
RAM: 2x2GB Hynix 1333
GPU: GT 640 OC'd (1150GHz on GPU and 1000MHz on memory)
PSU: Corsair CX430

Thanks :D!
 
Solution
On the H81 platform it would be best to go back to 1.5v modules. There are plenty of users running that chipset and memory at 1.6v or 1.65v, but it is outside of the specification. The later Z97 / H97 chipsets allow for higher voltage, but even in those cases the higher frequency modules that require higher voltage (above DDR3-1866) has little practical benefit. Go back to DDR3-1333 CL8 at 1.5v and call it a day...

What I should do then? Should I turn them back to the factory settings? I am a little worried :(
