Ram increase voltage

DotHacker666 · 10-23-2008, 02:46 PM

I'm planning to increase the voltage of my ram from 1.8 to 1.9 because it stops random reboots. I also know that it might not be the problem because my processor is really hot(heatsink off the box) but getting new heatsink. But either way i want to know if this would affect my ram lasting longer then it normally would.

what do they list the voltage range for the ram as on the makers site
you do not run a computer without the h/sink unless you are planning to buy a new cpu within the following hour

im using a heatsink its just the one in the box.
in there site it doesnt say voltage range for some reason but in new egg it does, follow link in first post.

newegg only lists 1.8v gives no range for ajustment
better quality ram usually has a voltage range try it at the 1.9v
