Title: GA-P67A-UD7 B3 Memory compatibility....
Post by: genoaole on April 28, 2011, 10:28:39 pm

Why Intel specification voltage is from 1.45 to 1.57,5 and more of memory listed on qualified vendor list are 1.65v and 1,35 ?

I have founded a 4gb cl7 1600mhz 1,5v but not founded in list... Are not compatibile????

Please if is possible update the list and write voltage in the side of product (example Asus qualified vendor list)

Sorry for my english i'm Italian

No problem with the language. ;)

Intel's specified voltages are inline with JEDEC's and use 1333 mhz as the top speed. If you want to run memory at a fast speed then you are in reality overclocking it and need to increase the working voltage to maintain stability.

The Gigabyte QVL is not exhaustive by any means and often it is better to check on the memory manufacturer's website for their QVL listing for the motherboard you have.

Ok i understand. Thanks for clarification.
Now i have the UD-7 with corsair 1600mhz cl7 1,65v and run great but i'm not sure for durability at 1,65v

1.65v is fine for the memory and you don't need to worry about it. Your Corsair memory is ideal and should run fine. I use it in two of my builds.
