Kingston Hyper X question

Verb4tim · 05-26-2009, 11:37 PM

Hey!

I have purchased KHX8500D2K2/4G (4gb 1066mhz kit of 2) and i was just wondering what
voltage settings to use. Both of the sticks have labels that have 2.3V marked
on them. But when i look up in Kingston Technology Company - HyperX DDR2 -
they have recommended voltage setting at 2.2V.

So what gives? Which one should i use? Thanks.

I would just pop it in there and see what happens. If there is a issue
with it, then I would go into bios and check the setting, and I would
manually set it to 2.3volts, or 2.2volts, whatever the system is happy
with.

2.3V is the maximum the RAM can handle and 2.2 is the recommended Voltage to run.
As manic said, put it in and see how it runs.
