Is there a max Vdimm you can use or will corsair replace falty ram unconditionally

[Yellowbeard]

Yes, we do have a max Vdimm and no, we won't simply replace memory unconditionally such as in the case of physically damaged DIMMs or DIMMs with the heat spreaders removed, etc.

[Marcvs]

and what is the max vdimm?

[Yellowbeard]

Since you list OCZ memory in your system profile, I have no idea.

I was looking at the dominator or crucial ballistix or ocz gold for my system (the stuff i have in at the mo is a stopgap), had hoped it would be higher

[Yellowbeard]

The PC6400C3 Dominator is rated at 2.4v as is the PC8888 and PC10000 Dominator. Just curious, why are you looking for a higher voltage rating?

[Marcvs]

my motherboard doesnt seem to like operating modules @ 2.1V for some reason, its much more stable at 2.15 or 2.2

[Yellowbeard]

You may want to check your Vdimm with a meter to get an idea of actual Vdimm. Also, there is a 5% tolerance built into our voltage rating. And, I forgot to add that the Dominator 8500 is rated at 2.2v.

where do i check it wth a voltmeter

Ive modded lots of aspects of the board so it maybe a vdroop issue being prevalent (yes its an asus), for example I modified a heatpipe onto the northbridge because it was to close to my tuniq, Ive also BSEL modded my chip to 1600FSB now

I'm not sure but, it should not be hard to find if you have a meter. Just carefully probe and test. Also, I'm sure the forums with modding threads on this board will have the check points listed.
