Hello,
I have a "problem" with the voltage on the abovementioned set. The mobo is a Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3, that seems to overvolt the memories a bit. If XMP is used, or the 1,5v value is manualy set in BIOS, the board will slightly increase the voltage to 1,548v.
This is shown also in the BIOS summary and read by defferent win based programs such as AIDA or Easy Tune 6.
Had this problem with my previous memory - a Corsair kit - but that one was rated to work up to 1,65v. Latest (non-beta ) BIOS is installed, all versions tend to overvolt a bit.
I know the Intel specs for the 2500K and P67 chipset specify a maximum DDR3 voltage of 1,55v, so it shouldn't affect the CPU, but I was wondering if it could have any adverse effects on the memory. It is a minor-is +0,048v increase, but i kinda like the product . Awesome sexy looking, and worked excellent out of the box ...
Am I to worry or not ? Should I manualy set the voltage to 1,480v ( 1,488 "real" voltage) or leave it "as is".
