Question 4600mhz ram issue

[Georgeecbkr]

Right I bought some DDR4 2x8gb G Skills Trident Z 4600mhz ram second hand and it works perfectly until I ran into a few blue screens while gaming so decided to underclock it to 3200mhz and it’s been fine ever since, occasionally a game will crash but no BSOD. I then realised that I’ve bought ram that runs at 1.5V and intels recommended maximum voltage is 1.35 V+5% (1.417 V). So I need advice on what to do, should I just unclock speed and voltage or is it a better idea to get new ram or new cpu - hit me with my options

Just to get some more info going here.

What CPU and motherboard are you using with it?
Was it running at 1.5V when you experienced BSOD?

Mobo: msi z390i gaming edge
CPU: i7-8086k @ stock
The ram is still running at 1.5v or just slightly over when I checked the bios, has been the whole time so yes it was at the time of BSOD, no more has uccured since I lowered the speed. I didn’t mess with the volts as a rookie I just thought it would automatically go down as the cpu volts does when you raise the clock speed. But I kept crashing on games randomly and this seems to be the weak link

Edit when I say games crash I just mean the game and not windows too

You should run a stability test to verify the RAM is the cause of the crashes. https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...ocp-memory-profiles-work-in-progress.3398926/
