hobjob Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi! I just put together a new computer with an ASUS Crosshair V Formula, Phenom2 955 and the 16GB CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 kit. For some reason, my board won't post with the RAM at 1600mhz unless the voltage is set to 1.65. Are they defective, or is this ok? I've updated it to the latest bios. Thanks for your help!

I just want to make sure I'm not going to burn them out or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 No you wont burn them out. They run at 1.65v on intel x58 systems too. You shouldn't have to worry about that. I'm also pretty sure they can go as high as 1.7 on AMD systems. But take Synthohols advice and wait for Yellow Beard or RamGuy to give the official answer before you go past 1.65v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobjob Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Sounds good, I wasn't planning on going higher than 1.65. Thank you both for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 18, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 18, 2011 Actually you can run any of our DDR3 modules up to 2.0 Volts with out voiding the warranty but I would not suggest that much voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobjob Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Oh awesome, I'll bump them back up to 1600mhz. Thanks everyone for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
