i'm using high performance ram, COrsair TWIN2X2048-6400, i heard that high performance ram need to overvoltage, is that true? I'm using gigabyte dq6 mother board. SO how the overvoltagevalue should be?

huh where u heard from...probably u need higher voltage when u oc to run at higher speed and tight timing..but if normal u no need to overvolt wan....just run at default as it come will be enuf..

from other forum, in
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=352170

any idea to solve this problem?

Thats rubbish, even though its a high performance RAM the voltage didnt need to be raised at stock clock, unless you heavily overclock it.

Go to BIOS and try to relaxed the memory timing to 5-5-5-18

what is that mean? i mean 5 5 5 18?

U onli overvolt when ur ram is unstable, unstable when u tighthen the timings or at high frequency...Of coz, i would suggest u raise ur voltage around 2.8 v b4 overclock.. THis can burn-in ur ram, which able to make ur ram more overclockable, some says itz a myth...

However, any voltage above 3 v is not recommended unless ur ram stated it can run at tat voltage..Also need to note that which chipset ur ram consist, as different chipset has different potential on the overclockabilty with higher voltage

how to do that, cause the dq6 motherboard didnt show exactly the value, may be i cant see it, any guide?

i dun think ur ram undervolt by default.. unless ur hand go touch it..try to load bios optimize by default to see it still happen or not... if let say ur ram having problem..stress ur ram using prime.. set the prime to fully utilize the ram capacity..if the pc restart once u load the prime ..then u need to check 1 by 1 using prime to find out which ram is having problem....if nothing happen it might not be ur ram....it might be other things make ur pc restart...

RAM overvoltage depends on the chip itself...some chip requires pretty hi-voltage supplied in order to get the stable speed and maintaining tight timing, or stock voltage at hi-speed but at loose timing...as i said earlier, depends on chip...
keep in mind thou, excessive overvoltage might be resulting instability issue or permanent damage to module

he's using DDR2 which maybe the RAM already died in 2.8v

how do i check the current volt for ram in DQ6? is it under DIMM ?

Your restart problem is probably not caused by voltage you used in your memory. What PSU are you using? ICUTE?

Misconception.

Any kind of RAM has its own rated operating voltage. It should run at the rated voltage or other wise you can consider it to be faulty and you may request for RMA or replacement from the distributor.

Overclockers only overvolt the RAM over its rate specification for overclocking purpose. Higher voltage is required when a higher speed is unstable. However there is always a certain tolerable voltage for each kind of RAM depends on the characteristic of the chips used. Some may not like higher voltage but some may love to feed on it.

i'm using acbel 550w, why?

how do i check for it and RMA ? any guidelines please .....................

some technical terms

vdimm = ram voltage

usually the safe range is around 1.8V~2.2V or perhaps 2.3V

Anymore than that, you risk frying your ram.

Try to borrow your friend's PSU for like 2 days and use like normal. If the problem persists, you know it isn't the PSU. PSU problems is one of the problems people overlook. Is the PSU new or used?

is new, the whole system unit is new set

any sofware can use to monitor the hardwares and voltage and all the details information for system unit? where can get it?

try SpeedFan or MBM5

u can easily find it by searching it on the net
