VS2GB1333D3 RAM queries

[Avidgamer]

I purchased two of these corsair value select modules, and out of curiosity I have been playing around with the timings.

 

I noticed that they run stable (a few hours of prime95 + boinc for a whole day with no issues) with 8 - 8 - 8 - 20 timings, at 1.6V. I was rather surprised by this, and would it be considered normal for these modules?

 

In addition, to facilitate further overclocking of my processor, would it be possible to increase the RAM voltages even further without incurring permanent damage to the modules?

 

The JEDEC specifications state that all DDR3 modules should operate at up to 1.9V before being permanently damaged, and I see references to 1.65V being acceptable for the modules I am using, although I cannot find any clear indication of the stable maximum (within reason of course) for these modules, nor their ability to be overclocked. Any help would be appreciated.

JEDEC industry standard specs for all DDR3 memory is 1.5 V.

 

The correct specs for the RAM you have is: 9-9-9-24 @ 1.5 V per the sticker on the module. If you are able to run 8-8-8-24 @ 1.6 V be happy! You got more than you paid for. Do NOT however run the voltage higher than 1.7 V per Corsair.

Thank you for the quick response.

 

My system became unresponsive after around 7 hours of prime95 but I'm starting to wonder if it's a power issue as since I moved house I've been having a few problems. More testing is certainly needed, although I'm now confident that the RAM is not an issue, its performance is far exceeding what I expected!
