Although it seems to been running just fine so far(2days), I'm afraid the lifespan might degrade without me ever knowing it. All in all, I think the pics explain my question pretty well, please help me out, thanks:respect:

Since 1.65V is the max ram voltage intel permits, I then was just trying to keep my distance? :confused: allright I'm going to adjust it to 1.65V right now :S

what about the qpi voltage?

so it's just the ram voltage that needs to be pumped up?
sorry I ask too much :'(

yeah,ram is almost always set to 1.5X default and needs to be raised to 1.65 for your ram
