I put it back to 2.7 volts and have been running just test 5 for an

Will probably run it at 2.8 volts to give it a bit of headroom.


Don't. The rule with RAM is to give it just as much voltage as it
needs to run stably and no more. It's too easy to fry.


Don't be silly. If the chips can handle 3.0v it won't hurt to run them
at 2.8v.


I wasn't being silly. The OP didn't specify the RAM's type and most DDR
doesn't like 2.8v.
