RAM voltage question

**Vikingod** · Nov 11, 2005, 02:29 PM

Hey guys, how can I tell what voltage my RAM is set to (system in my sig). I found in the BIOS where I can set it and also when all the latency setting are, but no listing for voltage. All it shows me is that its set to Auto. Are there any voltage monitoring programs I can use?
The main reason I ask is that with this mobo, it sets the latency setting different when using 4 sticks of DDR400 than what they are supposed to be (stability pain in the ass). I set the latency to what I want, but I want to verify it didnt do anything with the voltages.
Thanks.

It shouldn't do anything to the voltages so long as none of the ram sticks has a default voltage that is much higher than the rest of the sticks.

I believe in that case the voltage would be minumum what the maximum voltage amongst the sticks would be... follow?

If you motherboard has a Vdimm sensor, a program probalby came on the drivers disc with the motherboard. My last DFI board did.

I doubt it would of changed the voltage though.

Yeah if it did they'd likely have alot of angry users

I might be going out on a limb here, since I have the -E board, but don't you have the AiBooster panel and the "PC Probe"; all software which came with my board?
PC Probe has a voltage monitoring graph screen where it gives all the voltages....in real time. The AiBooster panel lets you change the CPU and RAM votages.
I will say that I have had occasions when my PC locked up, froze or rebooted, (as I was using it overclocked and the voltages increased) when it came back up the CPU voltage had reverted to "auto"! I can't say difinitively that this reversion has ever happened with the RAM voltage settings.
Anyway, I use the AiBooster panel for adjusting voltages and whatnot......
