Buntz Posted March 28, 2013 CID Share Posted March 28, 2013 If I remember right Intel 1155 socket CPU's do not like the ram voltage to be above 1.5. You might want to check in to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted March 28, 2013 Author CID Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) hmm, it seems through my research i was getting that alot, but at the same time the upper limit is around 1.8v for the cpu. i figured i'd be in the clear as im using a huge cooler and this was the specs i wanted in ram (just went with the voltage as it was my impression it would still work) and it fit under the frio ock. so yeah, i kind of agree with what you say, but at the same time i have seen posts on intel's website stating yes it will work (in a faq if i remember right) and i've seen posts where it wont work. perhaps i need to reorder the ram? i believe if nothing else the ram will underclock just a tad bit, and will last long enough for me to order a replacement set if anything seems to go wrong?
