Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L motherboard with 2.1 v ram

[abc23023]

Hello everyone,

I am building a new rig for myself for some light gaming/video editing. I have a Q6600 CPU, on a GA-G31M-S2L motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128078) , for the memory, i was wondering whether I could use RAM with a normal voltage of 2.1 V, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227267


Answers would be much appreciated

Check here for the supported memory list.

There are modules on their that run at more than 1.8v.

These are listed from OCZ at 2.0v.

I have a GA-G33M-S2L and have used that exact same memory (OCZ Reapers at 2.1v). That memory can also be run at 1.8 (at 400mhz 5-5-5-18) according to the SPD's, if I remember correctly. You only need 2.1 for 4-4-4-12 @400.



The bios has the same options for voltage as the GA-P35 (+0.0v to +0.4v). I have both the GA-G33M-S2L and the GA-P35-DS3L and the BIOS has the same voltage options.
