I actually have 4 gigs of gskill DDR 3 1600 and from experience I can tell |
| 2 |
you that the stock voltage on those chips is set too low. The company |
| 3 |
actually recommends that you use 1.9 volts while most motherboards will |
| 4 |
default to 1.5 or 1.6. Double check this however, because I know they were |
| 5 |
working on some JEDEC compliant DDR 3 (standard voltage of 1.5) a while back |
| 6 |
but I'm not certain if they just decided to throw in the towel on that |
| 7 |
effort. My system would crash using 1.5 but wouldn't produce any errors on |
| 8 |
memtest86+. This all just sounds too familiar. |
