What Are the best voltage settings?

KneeDeep · Dec 29, 2006

I have 2 ddr400 pc3200 ram sticks... 1 made by kinston(512) the other by xerox(512). Equaling 1gb

Any recomendations on volatge settings and some progs to use to achive higher voltage? or any DEATILED instructions related to overclocking my ram?

If more info is needed let me know and ill post.

What are your system specs?

KneeDeep · Dec 29, 2006

System specs

CPU: Intell P4 HT 3.00GHZ

Mobo: Gigabyte 8IPE1000-G/L (sucks!)

one 200GB Maxtor IDE interface
two 125GB Segates SATA interface
one 40GB Western Digital IDE interface

ATI RADEON 9550 AGP 8x

500watt UPS

MEM: 2x 512 ddr400 pc3200 (1 is Kingston and 1 is Xerox)
Is this enough info? I hope this helps.

so far iv had sevral sets of ddr stick at 2.9volt no prob the ones with out heat spreaders get warm some times but not fryin nothin

and this old 133 sd ram i had 3 stick of 256 infinion runnen 2t at 150mh and had the ram volt at 4.2 so if they can take that. id rughly say ddr could go about the same 1v over. so 3.5v could be posable not shure havin doen a board up with a mem volt mod since my old sdram board

OK. So how do I change the voltage?

Namslas90 · Dec 30, 2006

Ram voltages are changed in the system Bios. Be carefull not to set it higher than the maximun on the lower of the two. If you decide to chance it and go higher; be sure to add a fan to keep the ram cool and hope it don't burn up.

what chips are on your memory?
you must know this first before changing the voltage.

So would you agree with Curt futher up on the page? is 3.5v an acceptable voltage for not haveing any memory cooling?

I dont have any cooling for my ram... Im broke...lol... Ive seen little heatsinks and a type of clip for cooling.... Wich is better and cheaper? I would figure the heatsinks since there pasted right to the chips...

Namslas90 · Dec 30, 2006

NO WAY, thats way too high. Most common is 2.4 to 2.8. some rams will go higher. Best to look up Specs for your ram.

A fan would be the better cooling solution.

Sorry im a noob so I dont know jack sqat about ram anyway... Im not down with the termanology so alot of the tutorials ive seen might as well have been written in latin... Im not sure what to look for... Ive downloaded SPDTool but what the hell is SPD? and what are the key peices of info im lookin for?

I have no idea... WHAT do I look 4?

giorgos th. · Dec 30, 2006

look on your memory modules and see what is written on.

Namslas90 · Dec 30, 2006

Go to the web site of who makes your ram and look for specifications.

Alcpone · Dec 30, 2006

Are you clocking the ram?

I would just set it to auto in the bios otherwise, if your a noob then it's a bad idea to mess around with voltages!

i sead 3.5v at max id never do that with out ram sinks
