Energystars Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I was suffering from 5 to 10 bug checks(BSOD) every day on my new system, all the dump files pointed to the memory so i checked these forums and for my particular memory (TW3X4G1333C9A) you were suggesting increasing the voltage from 1.5v to 1.6v i did this and it has been fine for a month. My question is - Why did this resolve the problem, will it void the warranty and will it decrese its life. My brother liked my system so much that he copied the build but has had no problems at all.

stevevnicks Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 could just be down to OHM's law OHM's law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energystars Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 No, because this would mean every TW3X4G1333C9A would need 1.6v because they would all have been manufactured using the same process and thus would have the same resistive load.

Wired Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 IIRC they're warrantied up to 1.8v, so it's not a warranty issue. There's multiple things to consider. Could be the slot liking more voltage, could be the BIOS is undervolting the memory, etc. Either way, there's multiple ICs used in any memory series, so they wouldn't necessarily all have the same resistive load, and don't forget things can change within the same run of silicon. OTOH they're all made within a certain spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Energystars Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks Wired & Stevevnicks Suppose i will just have to put up with it for the time being, I am just a bit of a perfectionist, I built 22 HP DL380 G5 Servers at work with no problems so i thought this PC should be a piece of cake.
