    hi can anyone help, my ram is recomended to run at 2.1v like it says here; http://www.ebuyer.com/product/116755/show_product_reviews

    but my mobo is set to a default 1.8v and bios only offers
    [auto]
    [+0.05v]
    [+0.15v]
    [+0.20v]
    [+0.25v]
    [+0.30v]
    [+0.35v]
    [+0.40v]

    the bottom 3 are highlighted red.
    im presuming its the [0.20v] but i thought i better check on here 1st to be sure i dont fry it!

    I wouldn't really worry about it, but I had the same issue with my ram which is rated at 2.2v, and was at 1.8 in the BIOS. I just changed it under the BIOS - not to sure why your's is set up like that. Maybe it's adding the volts to the ram?

    Your BIOS is setup in the following way: -

    Code:
    [auto]   - 1.80v total
    [+0.05v] - 1.85v total
    [+0.15v] - 1.95v total
    [+0.20v] - 2.00v total
    [+0.25v] - 2.05v total
    [+0.30v] - 2.10v total
    [+0.35v] - 2.15v total
    [+0.40v] - 2.25v total
    the bottom 3 are highlighted red to indicate either a warning (as these voltages can damage some RAM).

    Sure you will be fine on the options that aren't red.

    Most performance RAM seems to run above 2V anyway...
