Re: CPU upgrade from AMD X2 3800+ to 7750BE

For example, say I have DDR2 memory. Industry standard voltage
is 1.8V. The memory package says "2.2V". Set Vdimm to 2.2V
and test. Is the memory error free ? Now, reduce Vdimm
to 2.0V. Is the memory still error free ? If not, increase
to 2.1V and try again.

When four sticks are next to one another, sometimes
the cooling situation is not very good. I had that
problem with some DDR memory. By reducing Vdimm, the
power dissipation will drop a bit, so the memory
can run cooler.

I think M2N-E was not designed to handle the load of a X2 7750 plus 8G
DDR2-800 RAM....

After a bit of trying, I settled with 2x1G pink heatsink + 2x2G black
heatsink DDR2-800. All made by A-Data.... I think my curiosity ends
here, until I have spare money for a newer motherboard (like Asus M3N78
PRO).
