arcticstoat writes "Overclockers looking to bolster their new Nehalem CPUs with overclocked memory may soon be disappointed if they're concerned about the health of their CPU. 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." Link to Original Source
