Question 1.48v on DDR3L ram

[aboelhassan65]

hello,

I have four DDR3L RAM modules, each with a capacity of 4GB and 1600 MHZ , which are supposed to support 1.35V and 1.5V without issues. I overclocked the RAM from 1600 to 2133 and increased the voltage slightly to 1.48V. Is this safe, especially since the RAM is rated to support up to 1.5V without issues, or does it count as overclocking?

If I increase the RAM voltage to 1.48V, does it count as overclocking even if the RAM is rated to support up to 1.5V?

RAM : gskill 2*4 1600 f3-12800cl9d-8gbxm DDR3L
CPU : I7 4790K
MOTHERBOARD : Gigabyte g1 sniper z97
GPU : EVGA RTX 2070

All DDR3L modules are required by the spec to be able to operate normally at 1.5v. It's still overclocking because that means 1.5v at DDR3-1600.

The problem is not the RAM, but the memory controller in the CPU can burn out if it is rated for DDR3L only and excessive voltage is applied, such as with Haswell 4000 series mobile CPUs.

thank you for your reply
so , you mean even if it was ddr3l and if it can handle 1.5v but , 1.48v consider not safe because of cpu not memory it self

4th gen supports 1.5V perfectly fine.
For DDR3 - overclocking voltage is 1.65V.

For 6th/7th gen though - only DDR3L(1.35V)/DDR4 is supported.

thank you , now i understand
