Memory Voltage X58 Platinum

[avalanche0316]

Hi,

I recently bought 2 GTX 460's to SLI with my X58 Platinum. I have been having lock ups while gaming that sometimes include white blocks all over the screen. EVGA tech support has told me to ensure my ram timings and voltages are set correctly for the RAM I use to ensure stability. The memory model I use is OCZ3G1333LV6GK. I changed the timings to 9-9-9-20, but I was unable to change the voltage from 1.5 to the recommended 1.65. The option was greyed out and the BIOS stated that changing the voltage to 1.65 could potentially damage the cpu.

Can I/Should I find a way to force the voltage up? Is this the incorrect RAM/Mobo Combination? What do you all think?

Use the +/- keys of your keyboard's numpad.

and the BIOS stated that changing the voltage to 1.65 could potentially damage the cpu.

1.65V is the absolute maximum Intel has defined for DRAM voltage.  Ignore the warning.
