DDR4 at 1.36v OK?

[calyco]

Hey guys, was messing around with my system before and a modest overclock of i7 6700K @ 4.5ghz. I could've sworn I saw my Corsair 16GB DDR4 3000 at 1.35v. I tried loading the XMP profile but it still shows memory at 1.36v. Is that OK and basically the same? TIA

1.36v vs. 1.35v is fine - it's within margin of error for the sensor, probably.

This^^

RAM has to tolerate a bit of over- and under-voltage, as per the specification. 0.01V is well within safety margins.

I suppose you could try and set 1.35V manually, to see if that sets the correct voltage.

I am on Asus pro gaming mobo. The dram voltage is set to 1.350v however right on the left side, it still says 1.360v.

None of your voltages are dead-on-the-money. That's typical.

If they start to diverge by more than +/- 5%, or if the 12v rail starts to droop (<11.85v or so) it may be time for a new PSU. But what you've got there looks great to me.

Thanks Dave! I'll leave it be then, haven't had any problems. I was able to get my i7 6700K to 4.5ghz on stock voltage. For someone out of the loop for a few years and just learned about offset OC etc, pretty happy with the results
