Another review to reinforce my "RAM doesn't matter" standpoint.
 Nice looking memory though.

QUOTE (gabrieltessin @ Nov 6 2009, 01:55 PM) Isn't that voltage on the ram a bit high for an i7? Hmm, it does seem a little high for an i5/i7. Are there still problems with running high memory voltages on these processors (from the integrated memory controller on chip)? The range on these modules is 1.7V - 1.9V, which seems pretty high for DDR3. -------------------- Mine:DFI SLI-DR EXPERT -- Opty 180 + Lapped TRUE -- Patriot 2x1 GB -- XFX 8800GTS 512 @ 700 -- Xplosion WD 80GB (XP MCE SP3) / SG 250GB (Vista Business X64 SP1) -- PCP&C Silencer 610 -- TT Armor -- Sharp Aquos LC-32GP1U 1080p GF's: DFI SLI-D (04/06/2006) -- AMD 3800+ opty heatsink -- Patriot 2x1 GB -- 9600GSO384 -- OCZ GXS 600W Recommended Power Supplies 1 - Recommended Power Supplies 2 - DFI NF4 "proper" CMOS clear - Tmod/Logan's DFI Bios Flash & Utilities DVD |

The range on these modules is 1.7V - 1.9V, which seems pretty high for DDR3. I was wondering if there is still that voltage limit as well, I think there is. These modules do not seem to be intended for i5/i7s, Core2's and am3 only would be my guess. If I was planning to run an am3 and ddr3 I would definitely choose the newer lower voltage memory kits. -------------------- QUOTE If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, I hate you. |

Kingston does have a HyperX kit set at 1.65v for i5 users.

Are there still problems with running high memory voltages on these processors (from the integrated memory controller on chip)? The range on these modules is 1.7V - 1.9V, which seems pretty high for DDR3. You can get around it by making sure that your QPI voltage is within .5 volt of the memory voltage so they say(Not Intel). DDR3 performance modules used before the i7 were using up to 2.1v for insane speeds and timings. I reviewed a set of OCZ that required 1.9 to run 6-5-5 at 1333Mhz. -------------------- Processor Intel Core I7 920 x2, I7 965 and more
