KVR1333D3N9/2G Problem with Gigabyte EP45T-UD3P MoBo

[mick2466]

Hello All,

I've been having problems with the above DDR3 and my MoBo. I know it's rated at 1.5V, but the only way I can get my system stable is to run DRAM Voltage on "AUTO" thru BIOS - The BIOS runs it at 1.76 V. I've tried setting it manually at 1.5 V, but the PC won't even POST.

The general feeling I get from reading other Threads is that 4 sticks of DDR3 loads down the MoBo, so the additional voltage is OK.

Another suggestion made to me was to purchase KHX Kingston DDR3. Given that I've just purchased 8Gb of new memory (which I can't return), I can't really afford to throw away another $200 - $300 on more DDR3.

Regards
