hey all. i was wondering since the memory controller for a64 systems are on the chip. is it safe to run 3.0-3.2v thru the memory all day, every day ? infact, what kind of max vdimm can you get away with without burnin the cpu out within like a year ?

newer AMD64 newcastles and the like seem to handle high vdimm fine as i haven't seen or heard of newer cpus dying at all with 3.3-3.6v vdimm pumped into them. Now whether particular memory can handle it really depends on memory.

Winbond BH-5/6 handle high vdimm well 3.0-3.6v

Winbond CH-5/6 don't handle high vdimm well

I think 2.9-3.1v should be fine for most memory.

I fed mine up to 3.9V

Didnt test max mem speed, but i benched 3DM01 @ 262 2-2-2-5 (and tightest A64 tweaker) @ 3.6V (CPU limit)

tripe

what sort of voltage would you recommend as a kind of maximum for ocz 3500eb (2x512) ?

mobo is a dfi lp ut 250gb and a64 is a 3000+ newcastle btw

yea, just don't go over 3.1V so ur in the safe zone
