It perfectly negates what you said that RAM voltage is chipset dependent because of "special kind" of VRM controllers
. Here is an example when it's just a dumb VRM. If motherboard has ability to change voltage, it just tinkers with feedback divider.
You said "special". I was talking about BETTER. But hey, feel free to counter with obtuseness and attacking made up arguments.
WHERE you said anything about BETTER? You simply said that VRM cannot do voltage for another type of RAM because VRM is chipset specific. FYI there were examples in the past how same chipset was used on motherboards with different RAM types. Say AMD 790X based motherboards came with DDR2 memory (1.8V) and later appeared motherboards based on it but with DDR3 RAM (1.5V) once AM3 CPUs hit the market.
EDIT:
You later also said:
currently popular IC families just can't provide with any stability.
Which is baseless claim. And I repeat again, RAM VRM controller has nothing to do with chipset. So this point is moot.
I said no such thing...
What I've read indicates that DDR5 support will require lower voltages and even tighter ripple tolerances that the currently popular IC families just can't provide with any stability. There WILL have to be different hardware on the MB to even consider DDR5.
We DO know that AMD has been deeply involved with several major RAM manufacturers in developing this new release. That does lend some grain of credibility to the suggestion that DDR5 support is just around the corner as well.

BETTER. Jeezus. ![Face Palm :palm:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xfacepalm.gif.pagespeed.ic.EBDwh1hCfo.png)
Furthermore, this was JUST CONJECTURAL DISCUSSION. One of THOUSANDS of conversations I read in the last several months while looking into my next step. However, the folks talking were pretty convincing in their conjecture, and
I was passing it on as JUST THAT: Discussion I'd read. And yes, I'd love to give you the link to that discussion so you can go there and troll them instead of me, but I've spent more than an hour in the last two days looking, and now I've gotten to the point where I'm all out of GAF.
FFS, this is NOT an engineering thread... it is casual conversation about where to go with bean's next build. Get some effing perspective man. If I AM WRONG, it's not even ME... it's other people. And you are NOT this guy:

You don't need to protect this little corner of the internet from me; please, just get over yourself. Please go stalk someone else.

Why does every effing random conversation in here have to turn into legal discourse... ![Banging Head |O](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/bangheadonwall.gif.pagespeed.ce.8iLbFYV4Bc.gif)
