Is it true that the newer models of this have issues? The old ones work fine. I'm trying to decide whether to buy another set and use on another computer.
Covered by a lifetime warranty
ok the old OLD ones were good. then they revised it with single sided 2.2V, which was BAD. but now they changed it AGAIN to single sided 2.0V, which is GOOD (at least in MY experience). so when ur buying, make sure its rated 2.0V
#3 2.0v isn't exactly great either, 1.8v conforms to specification and gives you less headaches if motherboards don't have any voltage settings or just hate anything non-1.8v
plus 1.8v puts out less heat, uses slightly less power, and doesn't cook your modules
plus 1.8v puts out less heat, uses slightly less power, and doesn't cook your modules
Unless a module is defective 2.0V will not cook it even without a heat spreader on it. Even so, from the standpoint of 1.8V being universally supported as a default lower voltage rather than higher, it is definitely better if all else were equal for the purposes of running a system with a crippled bios or just getting a system to post at the desired frequency so voltage can manually be changed.
#5 higher voltages usually indicate DDR2-667 modules overclocked to DDR2-800, thus requiring the higher voltages. Either that or tighter timings which may require the higher voltage as well, but it should work fine at JEDEC timings at 1.8v if that were the case.
i thought the older models had issues with bad heatspreaders. mine have poorly attached heat spreaders
