RAM voltage worries

[Attila the Bun]

It might not for a couple of reasons - the simplest was already mentioned - cpuz ran out of columns. Another is that to run at 800mhz it might have to be using non-JEDEC specified voltage, which is why things like XMP or BEMP exists. So, sorry, cpu-z wasn't as helpful as I was hoping.

No worries...just one more thing...what is JEDEC?

more importantly to this topic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JEDEC_memory_standards

It's the standard that all pc memory should adhere too.
The JEDEC memory standards commity is mainly made up of the main chip manufactures if I remember correctly.

Yes there is no JEDEC standard for 1600mhz, it's always via a non-standard/different standard eg XMP

So looking at the product code and the specs...my RAM is designed to run at 1600mhz with timings of 8-8-8-24 using between 1.6 and 1.65 volts.

All of which I can set manually in the BIOS using ASUS's AI Tweaker and cause no damage to either the RAM or CPU and will mean that it all runs nice and stable.

Yep, and if it does have XMP profiles then you should have the option to select that and it should set it for you.
