Sure thing: CL 5-5-5-18/1.80v Low Voltage Operation
I think that if one needs to change the mobo voltage just to get proper operation while not even trying to overclock, that can't be a good thing. I feel more comfortable starting with a default working solution before considering an overclock (which is what I plan to attempt on this rig, BTW).

Low voltage RAM is good and I think OCZ is the only company making it. That way if your mobo is undervolting what it reports the RAM should still run fine. Whats the default voltage on that at 1066 if you don't mind my asking?On 1/8/2010 7:27 PM, Anthony Q.

Please contact our technical support department directly and they will be able to further assist you. When installing memory, please make sure to properly configure the memory settings in BIOS, otherwise the computer may not run properly. For this memory package, the memory frequency should be set to DDR2-1066, memory timings tCL 5 - tRCD 5 - tRP 5 - tRAS 15 - Command Rate 2. Memory Voltage should be set to 2.10V. Once that is complete, everything should be running smoothly.Thank you GSKILL SUPPORT Quality and customer service are our top priorities.

Unfortunately, most boards that aren't enthusiast expensive seldom go above 2.1v. My board is borderline stable with Corsair 1066 RAM and tops out at 2.1v so I just run it at 800 and it's fine.
