Earlier i talked to a corsair rep about deciding between the corsair vengeance 1.5v ddr3 dual channel ram and corsair dominator gt 1.65v ddr3 dual channel ram, and the corsair rep said the gt would be fine in p67 so i placed a backorder on it for 4x4 16gb of it.

For those who don't know, a few of us have been salivating for a high end p67 board, like the Asus Maximus Extreme, but according to this article, there were recalls and backorders because of the ME4 burning out "over half of the test samples" of processors due to the fact that the auto overclock feature was raising the ram to 1.65v. Problem is, the cpu is the controller for the ram, and thus, was being burnt out by this voltage. I just called microcenter and canceled my backorder for the ram, earlier in feb i picked up some vengeance ram, 8gigs (2 sticks of 4) because it was on sale for 80 bucks. I'm glad i did!

Here is the article.

So please, if anyone is using 1.65v corsair dominator gt ram or any other ram running at that voltage, please consult your motherboard manufacturer because burnouts are popping up still with the asus maximus 4 rev 1.0 for the cpu... the article states that "asus was a bit too aggressive in letting the average user overclock" but yea, just be careful, manual is sometimes best.

Best regards to you guys and I hope this helps you. 

I thought that 1.5V was the standard for Sandy Bridge? While using 1.65V was hit and miss with most ram and mobos

glad i went with 1.5v 1333 memory. 8 gigs of corsair xms for $47 a/r. 
 
Everything i have read says faster memory doesnt really make a big difference with SB.

Thanks for the heads-up! I had some Corsair memory that was back-ordered and I have just cancelled it. I rechecked its specs and sure enough, it runs at 1.65V. minimum. You just saved me a cpu. Thank you!

Great info....glad I have migrated away from the Dominator series to a greener and cooler Vengeance set of 16 gigs..
 
Can't wait to pop em into a new mobo and get my new system online.

Yes, Intel board does say Absolutely do not exceed 1.65v for DIMM.  Are you willing to go right to the Limit for you CPU and mobo????  I will post just below what Intel really says.  The P67 is designed for 1.35v DIMM although most consider 1.5v as acceptable as a large number of high speed mem chips at 1.35v are not available (as far as I know). 
 
System Memory Features
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:

• 1.35 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs (New JEDEC Specification)
• Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
• 32 GB maximum total system memory (using 4 GB memory technology). 
• Minimum total system memory: 1 GB using 512 MB x16 module
• Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR3 +1600 MHz, 1333 MHz, and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
• XMP version 1.2 performance profile support for memory speeds above 1600 MHz

Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.65 V may damage the processor.

joezipp, I have had that in my files for helping people on the forum for quite some time.  I did not look at your page which referenced an Intel board, but got it from Intel on the P67 specs.  Your post "   " Using a DIMM with a voltage rating HIGHER than 1.65 V may damage the processor". I seem to remember this scare going around when the X58's came out too. " does not say any thing about 1.35v or 1.5v which my original post above did say.  You appeared to be giving a new user bum information, particularly if they did not go to your post and used only you info within the post. 
Yes, on the memory OCing, but why do it as this board? P67 mobo IMO  is /should only be used for OCing the CPU as OC the memory will be of little value as to speeding up any thing.  Only extreme OCer would do that, but not a full time gaming.

 
Oh, your format shure messed up the entire link.  What happened?

Joe, those look just great--wow and CAS 7 too.  I have written those down a possibilities for my next build; that is if they are good for the X68 with Ivy Bridge.  4 x 4 GB for 4-way 16 GB mem.
