Hi, I am wondering whether this voltage for the RAM is safe or should I adjust it more? Do you see anything else out of the ordinary?

Here are the specs:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 @ 3.6GHz
Gigabyte G31M-ES2L
Kingston 2GB 800MHz (Prolly value RAM)
Gigabyte 9600GT
CM Hyper TX3

If someone can suggest some stability test for Ubuntu 9.04 I would be quite grateful.

1. No cooling on the RAM whatsoever. Ambient air dependent.
2. Not too sure about this... voltage control set to auto, RAM frequency set to 800MHz.

Voltage set to "Auto" = 2.1v ???

Attach CPU-z's SPD.
Better w active cooling. smile.gif

I can't run CPU-Z, on Ubuntu.

May I ask why do you want to run it at 2.1v?

Does the stickers on the ram prints that the operating voltage is 2.1v? If yes, then by all means go for 2.1, but if it doesn't why on earth would you punish you rams with voltages that high sweat.gif

I didn't set it to 2.1V, mobo automatically did it.

Not TS set it to 2.1V, is the mainboard when set to Auto, the voltage for his ram is 2.1V.

Remove your ram and see wat voltage, den adjust in bios see how~

Correct. Without checking I know it is 1.8V. This is the normal cheap RAM you see around.

wit sufficient cooling, it shud b fine.
but if it shall burn, warrant wont cover overvolting.
even performance ram, warranty only covered overvolting to certain voltage.

if u dint OC, just set it bck to 1.8, dats the default voltage.

I can't find the setting to set the DDR value directly - only increments (0.1, 0.2, etc).

I've changed 'System Voltage Control' to 'Manual' and set the VCore to 1.300V. The RAM voltage is now 1.936 V. This looks like the default value since if I set all settings to non-OC, the RAM voltage will still show 1.936V.
