Potential issues:
  1. With vdimm mods, you can potentially kill the motherboard and/or ram. The default board comes with 2.2v vdimm max. Folks have been modding them to 2.7-3.0v!
  2. Some folks have reported with no mods board still died but it could be other factors, condensation due to phase change, etc. No confirmation on that so far. But thread discussing this is at http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=104074.
  3. FCG, states at http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...0&postcount=17

    Yep, DDR2 voltage above 2.2v will eventually cause failure of the VDDR upper regulating MOSFET due to overcurrent. The higher above 2.2v the faster the failure. Solution is a power MOSFET rated for a higher current...

So sounds like those that volt mod >2.2v vdimm will see failure. I don't intend to do any mods (cause i don't know how ) so probably safe heh.
