HI,
I have Kingston KHX1600C9D3/2G (i have 6Gig)
http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1600C9D3_2G.pdf
i'm overclocking my i7 920 to 3.8GHz on my rampage extreme II Mb.
The guide i'm using explains most stuff well so i know what to do. only probem is the memory. According to what I've read, i should not go above 1.65v as this will damage cpu. But the wording in the descrition of the RAM says:-
"This module has been tested to run
at DDR3-1600MHz at a low latency timing of 9-9-9-27 at 1.7V to 1.9V. The SPD is programmed to JEDEC standard
latency DDR3-1333MHz timing of 9-9-9 at 1.5V."
I have absolutly no idea what the above means? it seems to suggest that I need stupid high voltage settings to get the best out of it? Is it a poor quality RAM?
Currenlty I'm at 3.36GHz, and my timings on RAM are 8-8-8-20, but the guide suggests going for 8-8-8-24.
Any help would be awesome cos I'm totally confused.
Thank you for reading.
