Hi guys, is 1.675 Vdimm safe? I', curious about how far I can push my ram that is rated at 1333 mhz, but to get it to boot into windows I have to put vdim @ 1.675 vdim rather than 1.65. I will be doing this with aircooling, so is this safe? or will I fry my cpu? I know Intel says not to go past 1.65 as max safe vdimm on core I7, but has anyone gone past this as a24/7 OC?
 
Your VDIMM has top be within .5 of uncore to be safe above 1.65. Nut why are you interested in overclocking your RAM? in triple channel you should already have far more than enough memory bandwidth for completing any task.

New to this... Is it only if your VDIMM is above 1.65(As it doesn't have to match if it's lower) that it matters that the uncore has to be with .05?
 
I believe so. You can damage the processor above that. Its made to go with 1.65 or lower.
