I picked up 2 sticks of these to use in an ECS C19-A SLI motherboard w/ a 805D CPU.

The timings are supposed to be 3-3-3-6 and there is no mention of voltage. I called PNY's tech support where I was unable to speak to an actual rep.

Does anyone know the voltage range of this memory? Has anyone tested this memory at the advertised 3-3-3-6 timings?

Bit of a pity when manufacturers don't include voltage settings.

I recommend you try 2.7V and raising the voltage up to 2.9V max finding the lowest setting that will allow your computer to run without errors. Some memory modules need more voltage through the dimms than this but be careful if you do.

With a Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI mobo at stock voltage (1.8V), 0.1V over, and 0.2V over, I am unable to get this memory to go any tighter than the SPD-specified 5-5-5-15 with any sort of stability.

I did some further testing, and I was able to get the memory to run at 3-3-3-6
@ 2.1V when my CPU wasn't overclocked.
I'm currently running at 4-4-4-8 @ 2V with my 805D overclocked to 3.63 GHz
