| Has anyone tried increasing the VIO voltage to 3.6v to get a little more out off their RAM? I can not get my no-name RAM past 145mhz without errors and was wondering if increasing the VIO voltage would help. Thanks. |

| Many O/Cers increase their I/O so they can increase their FSB.Some types of ram can't take it ,but some can so the only way to find out is to try.

| Just go to some overclocker sites and in many reviews when they try to push memory to the limit they always raise the I/O voltage.Like I said this is something every overclocker knows .Go to http://www.tweaktown.net in the reviews section there is an article called PC150 ram Roundup ,and in that article they had to increase the I/O voltage with a few brands of ram in order to push the ram to its max.Even Hoda's worlds highest FSB's show the I/O voltage used and some of them use more than 4.0 .Like I said before not all ram can take higher I/O voltages and in the tweaktown review you will notice all of their ram in the review were top of the line.
