RevengeOO7 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 My current RAM 9-9-9-24 DDR3 1333MHz @1.7V (Stock) I want it at 1440Mhz 9-9-9-24. What volts should I have it at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Begin with 1.7v. If it is not stable, try 1.75v or 1.8v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeOO7 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 It doesn't become "stable" until like 2.4V. That's crazy high and I still get errors with mem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will very likely kill these modules in very short order with 2.4v and that is a violation of the warranty terms. They will most likely run as fast as they are going to run at 1.9v or less. Anything after that is useless and only creates more heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeOO7 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I currently own 2x CM3X2048-1333C9DHX 1.7V ver3.2 S/N 08311904, or to better put it, two DDR3 Corsair sticks that run at 1333Mhz @ 1.7V with 9-9-9-24 timings.The above are stock settings, my goal is to have them reach 1440 MHz with the same timings and at around 1.8V. Now I have managed to get both of these sticks to run stable in Memtest86+ v2.11 for 12 hours each at 1.8V. I experienced no problems with these setting until I added both sticks and positioned them for dual-channel. Now I am no expert in memory or with this memtest program, but after leaving memtest running for the night I came back to review its results and found hundreds of thousands of errors, but no ECC Errors. I'm trying to understand why this happened and what is the solution. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/9105/dsc00588cyj.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Sounds like the sticks just can't OC that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 If the modules pass in single channel mode but fail in dual channel mode, then the issue is external to the memory. Dual channel mode is a function of the memory controller, not the memory. You may want to increase the memory controller voltage a bit and see if that helps.
