OK, so on a whim (I admit I didn't need it) I got another 4gb kit to fill up my 4 RAM slots on my P5Q Pro. Now I rock a grand (useless) total of 8gb.
I already had a 2x2 Kingston HyperX 1066 @ 5-5-5-15, and now I bought a 2x2 G.skill 1066 5-5-5-15. Both kits are rated at 2.1v.
So, both kits operate on the same voltages and timings. Perfect. No problem there.
But this thing is being such a hard task to stabilize! My mobo is having trouble keeping this thing stable. I can run IBT on maximum stress for about 30 minutes, and then BSOD.
I'm currently running the RAM @ 2.16v and the NB @ 1.34v.
IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Is it safe to bump the NB to 1.4v and the RAM to 2.2v? Or am I pushing it?
PS: I have decent airflow: 3 side-panel fans blowing on the mobo. 2 exhaust fans on the back.
