Something I'd like to know, and I know others have asked-- does increasing the voltage above 3v risk blowing the LED's? Whats the tolerance on these?

Hmm, good question, but how shuld i answer this? I can make an 24h burn-in with 3,9V and then we will see, which component gives up at first.. the ICs or the LEDs?!

Edit: Wrote a email to crucial, let's see if they answer.

@//mAr Ich bins wieder...der Schwabe... ^^

Another awesome review.

You wrote the sticks are getting quite hot. Is it necessary to cool them actively @3.1V? 2.9V should be fine no matter what but I'm getting my Gig of these babies tomorrow so I would like to now if i can give them hell on my Abit AN8 Ultra right away... ^^
Well there are 3 Revoltec 80mm Fans lying around here so cooling actively should be no problem either...
