Solve : What can I use 2.1V RAM is??

1.	Solve : What can I use 2.1V RAM is??
Answer» I have 16gb of Buffalo Firestix that are 2.1V. I cannot FIND a MB that can utilize the RAM. The latency is very low and I'd love to be able to USE them. I have an AMD8320 which I love, an i5 2500k, an i7 920 and numerous 775 processors. Why make RAM at such a high VOLTAGE if there is no MB that can use it? There are plenty of motherboards that can supply 2.1 volts to the RAM, there are settings in the BIOS, (vDIMM) and 2.1 volt RAM can often be run at 1.8 volts, although higher is better for stability.

What about the CPU? What CPUs SUPPORT 2.1V? Quote from: pcurtj1974 on June 17, 2014, 03:18:26 PM What about the CPU? What CPUs support 2.1V? VCORE does not have to be the same as Vdimm. You need to read up a bit on this sort of thing. Quote from: Salmon Trout on June 17, 2014, 03:47:34 PM Vcore does not have to be the same as Vdimm. You need to read up a bit on this sort of thing. I have but it is a bit confusing..
