Can i turn up the voltage on an Asus M2N32 Deluxe

[justcallmedoc]

Could someone let me know if there is a way to turn up my voltage in my Asus M2N32 Deluxe? I'm wanting to go to Vista 64bit and want to install 8gb of memory with Vista 64bit but the voltage requirements for the 8gb memory are higher then what i'm set at now running XP Pro 32 bit 3gb memory..

thx, doc

Your BIOS will automatically detect the increased demand for voltage and adjust accordingly. Don't mess with RAM voltages yourself as you can mess your motherboard and RAM up, speaking from experience here.

Ideally that would be true, but it depends on the board. Some boards play well with AUTO and others simply don't.

IF you're going to adjust voltages manually, stick with the RAM manufacturers specified voltages.

I'm not familiar with that boards BIOS, but you're probably looking for DRAM voltage. Also some boards like the northbridge (NB) voltage bumped a bit when using all four dim slots. Try the NB on AUTO first though.

I didn't mean AUTO voltages (no fun OCing then) but JEDEC should tell the mobo to up the voltage. Then again it will all depend on the age of your mobo.
