I think that from now on I am going to use a setting of at least 1.65v BIOS no matter what. If I go beyond 1000MHZ I will use more. True the multimeter will show 1.71v but raja said that when he uses LinX it is more close to his setting in BIOS than anything. So my conclusion is that I might be undervolting my RAM. I have tested with the multimeter during Memtest but LinX is a lil heavier of a test and haven't tested with my multimeter with it. The reason my HyperX's lasted longer on my DFI is because the difference between your setting in BIOS and Multimeter in windows isn't as much as with my Classy. I wanna say the DFI was BIOS setting to multimeter difference was .03 v while my Classy is .07 v. That's the only thing I can think of.

That was going to be my next curiosity, I have mine at 1.6v (bios) and they seem to run anywhere up to 2000mhz at that voltage. I initially set it there to get it through stability testing as it seemed to work better there than at 1.65v and showed slightly better performance in everest memory bench. The sticks would pass memtest at lower voltage but not Linpack so you might be on to something Nip.
