Main Board : ASUS P6T WS Professional with BIOS V1205
DRAM : GSkill F3-12800CL7-6GBPI (3 x 2GB DDR3 1600)
CPU : i7 950
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I set the XMP profile in the BIOS Ai Tweaker
The following were automatically set by XMP profile :
BCLK Frequency - 133 Mhz
PCIE Frequency - 100Mhz
DRAM Frequency - 1600Mhz
DRAM Bus Voltage - 1.5V (indicated as 1.5V)
DRAM Timing Control :
DRAM CAS# Latency - 7
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay - 8
DRAM RAS# PRE Time - 7
DRAM RAS# ACT Time - 24
DRAM Timing Mode - 2N
All other settings were in Auto
Then I checked the DRAM voltage with Everest, the DRAM Bus Voltage was shown 1.9V
Accordance with the XMP profile, the voltage should be 1.5V
Will the voltage too high may damage the CPU?
When I manually changed the DRAM Bus Voltage to settings other than 1.5V (e.g. 1.52V), the voltage shown in Everest was as set (1.52V).
Why?
