Overclocked Memory Breaks Core i7 CPUs
arcticstoat writes "Overclockers looking to bolster their new Nehalem CPUs with overclocked memory may be disappointed. Intel is telling motherboard manufacturers not to encourage people to push the voltage of their DIMMs beyond 1.65V, as anything higher could damage the CPU. This will come as a blow to owners of enthusiast memory, such as Corsair's 2.133MHz DDR3 Dominator RAM, which needs 2V to run at its full speed with 9-9-9-24 timings."

I'll just stick to the mathematics of quantum field theory. Kids these days and their crazy machines!
When we asked Pooh what the opposite of an Introduction was, he said "The what of a what?" which didn't help us as much as we had hoped...
Since when has a manufacturer said "Yes, over-volt the shit out of our part, it will be fine."
Windows has more viruses because linux has more virus coders.
... until somebody solders a crapload of diodes to their motherboard to drop each ram output line voltage by .7v.
Bonus points if they're LEDs.
Still running that Dell eh?
So much for intelligent design.
You are welcome on my lawn.
I'll be the one laughing at the pathetic excuses you make up when I still kick your ass.
