Hi, I currently have a 2500k @4.5GHz.

The settings i had before worked fine, using offset voltages and speedstep using IBT.

BUT... at idle the voltage would drop and case BSOD, so i disabled c3 and c6.


Now when i run IBT i do not get a BSOD but it consistently fails IBT at maximum memory , but does not give me a BSOD.

Could this be a ram voltage problem as i am using 8GB? i have used 1.5v and auto. I am now going to try 1.55v, is this too high?

Ok changing the RAM voltage to 1.55v seems to fix the issue, are there any issues with degrading memory controller at this higher voltage?
