Hi, I'm working with an older kit here, a Q6600 on a Gigabyte EP43-US3L motherboard with 2 of these sticks. (F2-6400CL5-2GBNT)
What is the maximum voltage I can use on these? I've seen posts on overclocking forums about similar (but different) sticks that have successful, stable overclocks with 2.1 volts, and I'd like to know if I can do something similar, if necessary.
I understand that overvolting ram can be a risk, and I'm ok with that. I just want to know the "don't ever go above x.xx volts!" level.
Right now the system is stable at 350x8 but there should be a lot of room for improvement. I think with some more voltage I could raise the FSB and run the memory at 900-950 mhz at 5-5-5-15, probably... but 5-6-6-18 or 6-6-6-18 would be fine at those speeds as well. I just don't want to do it without learning a little bit about these sticks first. =)
