Hi I see this memories in newegg but some customer write a review:
Cons: I have seen posts of the G.Skill support forum where the main tech support guy recommended running 1.60v on the QPI/VTT voltage. This is unacceptable. Long term usage at 1.60v is going to kill or heavily degrade your CPU in a matter of months. See below for explanation.
Other Thoughts: ****IMPORTANT****
i7 was the first CPU to feature the memory controller on the processor; called an Integrated Memory Controller, or IMC. Now, your CPU is going to be limiting you on how high you can clock your RAM. You will need to adjust a setting in the bios to run higher frequencies. Essentially it is the memory controller voltage and many boards call it different things. It might be called "VTT" or "QPI/DRAM" voltage.
The max safe spec for this voltage per Intel is 1.35v. The max I would personally recommend is 1.4v for 24/7 usage. Some IMCs (especially on early chips that aren't D0, like a C0/C1 stepping i7) may need a lot of voltage to stabilize frequency memory. Please do not run high voltage or it will degrade the lifespan of your CPU. This kit is great because it will downclock to 6-7-6-18 @ 1600mhz so you can run a safe 24/7 voltage while still having blazing fast RAM. Or if you have a good IMC you can of course run it at 2000mhz, just use caution with voltage!
Ìs this true?
