I have a question regarding ram voltage.
I have 2 sticks of Corsair PC3200 running with 2.75v in order to get stabilty at 225Mhz Cas2 (3.3.6). It will run 215Mhz Cas2 (3.3.6) with only 2.55v, but that means only 3.06 Ghz instead of 3.25Ghz (from my 2.4).
Do other people run their ram at 2.75v or is it a bit to much for a 24/7 system.
NB: CPU is still at stock 1.5v
Cheers, GRiDlock

You guys are mad, esp if you o/c PC3200 on SktA where it's slight overkill in the first place. Adding voltage seriously adds heat and above the normal voltage for the part will almost certainly result in some long-lasting damage whether that shows straight away or several months down the line.
GRiDlock can you not run CL2.5 rather than CL2.0 ... all that extra heat and stress for 1% overall perf boost seems a little OTT. Esp so on Dual Channel which should inherently relieve latency anyway. Another popular option is to run the FSB and RAM async ... from what I've read it's not as bad on these new P4's as you'd think. Many people find 1000FSB+ with async RAM is far preferable to 900FSB synced for example. IMHO try the above or simply sell your current RAM and get some PC3500-4000 ... Adata is well respected and cheap to boot.
