Ballistix Performance Memory

[Waldo]

Hello, i'm about to build a new pc (AMD am3 - ddr3)

Motherboard: Msi 790GX-G65

CPU: wait for Phenom X2 550 (delayed delivery)

OS: Vista 64-bit SP1

RAM: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX 1333MHz 2GB KIT CL6-6-6-20  --  BL2KIT12864BA1336  (i have two kit = 4x1GB)

I have heard, that in order to ensure stable operation/system, using 4 sticks (vs. 2) might require slightly increase VDimm voltage adjustment above standard 1.50v (to run stable at 1333mhz  CL9)

 If thats the case, how much (little) value will be adequate?

Thanks in advance for any viewpoints or  recommendations

Before you adjust the voltage at all I would suggest that you install the memory and run your computer with all four slots populated. If it runs stable, leave the voltage at 1.5V. If it doesn't then you can increase it to 1.6V, that's all you should need to raise the voltage for the four slots.

Hi thanks. 

Memory/Motherboard works well together . Memory sticks was automatic recognized as 1333MHz  CL9 ram during boot-up first time (at motherboard default 1.5v ) 

Then i decided to set tighter timings. Raise voltage to 1.67 and now running 1333MHz   CL7-7-7-24
