icecoldkid Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi iv got a bit of a problem i purchased 2x2gb of corsair dominator gt 1.65v CMT4GX3M2A1866C9 the problem is my processor is the i52500k and the ram voltage should be 1.5v for this cpu. I lowered the voltage to 1.5v and ran memetest overnight with no errors at 1866mhz. Do you think it will be fine running this ram at 1.5v at the rated speed 1866mhz ?

peanutz94 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 AS long as it is stable you should be fine. You can indeed runn1.65v with that CPU if they start showing signs of instability. BTW Intel's spec is 1.5v +/- 5% So 1.35 to 1.65v is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 BTW Intel's spec is 1.5v +/- 5% So 1.35 to 1.65v is fine. 5% would be 1.425v to 1.575v 10% would be 1.35v to 1.65v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Darn it Wired! Your right. Now i have to go hunt up those specs.:D: I know at first Intel was pretty adamant about using only 1.5v,they revised them and said 1.65v memory was okay to use. The 1.35v white LP are used quite often too with large CPU coolers.*shrugs* But with Alienware it may be different. Without knowing what model Alienware that MB came out of i cant look at compatibility charts either. I swear it said +/-5% But that can't be right. . [edit]Heres Intels spec sheet...But not a word about voltage. I'll keep looking! http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processor-comparison/processor-specifications.html?proc=52210#memoryspecifications Then the Sandys launched Intel stated only 1.5v memory but later recanted that statement to allow 1.65v memory.
