So I've been having problems with my video card, Black screens, freezes, weird whole screen multi color vertical lines, etc.
I sent my complain to XFX and they told me my ram may be causing the problem, my sticks are 1600 mhz 4gb X2 Ripjaws @1.5v, they told me to leave everything stock and just increase the voltage and see if that solves the problem .... my questions are the following:
Increasing the volate lets say to 1.6v do I need to change timings or keep everything the same? Timings are 9-9-9-24
Increasing the voltage to 1.6 would still let me overclock my CPU ?
Is it safe after all to increase the voltage to 1.6v to a 1.5v ram sticks?
I got all the problems with the CPU being 100% stock settings, so I dont get it why would a videocard need more ram voltage if most P67 sticks are rated to 1.5v, AMD or XFX atleast should state their cards need specific ram to run their cards
Thanks in advance, much apreciated.
