GA-MA785GM-US2H - Allowed Memory (DDR2) Voltage (range?)

GA-MA785GM-US2H - Allowed Memory (DDR2) Voltage (range?)
« on: October 28, 2009, 10:33:00 am »
Currently putting together 2x clone systems .. both using this Mobo with AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus CPU's. One for a WHS server, the other for my daughter's desktop.
I had 2x2GB 800 sticks on hand (upgraded my e8400 desktop last spring) running 1.8v. which should work with this board default memory voltage. I picked up some Corsairs 2x2GB - CM2X2048-8500C5C - 5-6-6-18, but they run 2.1v .... will they work??
If yes, will it post this memory at board default 1.8v??
If yes, can I bump up the memory voltage up??
If yes, will about .3v be correct??

Thanks
Dennis L

PS
For both systems, running Corsair CMPSU-400CX - 400W
Neither system will be used for gaming, running onboard graphics.
Lot's of clean power available to system.

Hi,
Check out you memory compatibility here,.
 http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3141
If ok it should post at default 1.8 v
The bios should allow you the option to increase voltage, I don't have the manual to check, but you can download it via the link above,
0.3 v setting would increase voltage to the 2.1v for your requirements,
Let us know how you get on.

Yeah running memory @ 2.1v won't be a problem  :)
There's no place like ::1

Thanks guys for the help.
I was aware of the memory list, unfortunately it is sparse in listed sticks.
Work is going to keep me busy through the weekend ... hope to get a few things
done after hours.

Thanks again
