GIGABYTE H55M-S2H and RAM voltage
« on: February 18, 2010, 08:46:11 am »
Hi just setup a very very low budget pc last night for my family just to browse the web.
I hose the H55 S2H, and sadly i got Memory from OCz 1800Mhz 1,95v.
The board would crash, reset etc running the memory at only 1333mhz nd 1.5v.
For sure i didnt wanna overclock the i3 as it would be useless for the ppl who would use it, so i increased the memory volt to 1.65(purpled) and everything runs like a cream with linx test no errors etc.
So my question is will the motherboard continue to operate a long long time with 1.65v or am i pushing it a lot. thanks.

Hi

Do you mean H55M-S2H ?
http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=3310

Shouldn't be any problem, the only harm could be to RAM modules but as they are designed to work @ 1.95V then definitely no worry as you haven't crossed this limit yet.
ZX-S & C64 are still my favourites ;-)

thanks both "Beekeeper" and "runn3R".
i was just wondering s nb heatsink gets quite hot anyways, and didnt really sit down to study how much thois mobo and its components can handle.
i seem to be ok then as i need this pc to be trouble free.
thnx again!
