been ocing the latest full size ballistix sport 16 gb set (cl9)
http://www.microcenter.com/product/385182/Ballistix_Sport_16GB_DDR3-1600_%28PC3-12800%29_CL9_Dual_Channel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_%28Two_8GB_Memory_Modules%29

got it going for 4 hours of prime95 blend at 2000mhz with 11 11 11 33 t2 @ 1.59v.. it's probably stable and i'm probably playing it safe, i can probably drop to 10 11 11 32 t2 @ 1.58v but...... you know trying to be cautious

seems as though the very low profile version of this ram 9 9 9 24 t1 @ 1.35v
can hit 2200mhz.

my question is can i end up frying this ram if i DON'T go over 1.6v but push it to 2200mhz even with looser timings?
My math says it should run at 13 13 13 34 t2 at 2200mhz. but is it possible to fry ram on increased frequency alone, without going over 1.6v?

edit change 2100 to 2200 my bad....

The Micron ICs (memory chips) your Ballistix are based on are not known for being able to scale above CL10-11. Still, if they're relatively new (i.e. use Micron D9QMT chips) then DDR3-2200 shouldn't be a problem even with CL10 or 11.

Also, 100MHz frequency bump is extremely unlikely to do any damage to your RAM.
