8700k does a 1.35 memory voltage setting cause extra heat to the cpu

i use a tower air cooler so heat can often be an issue and i was wondering does the dram voltage set at 1.35 instead of intel stock setting of 1.25 i think it is does the extra dram voltage heat the cpu any? and yes im reffering to memory dram voltage
 
Stock ram DDR4 voltage is 1.2v.
Most ram faster than 2400 is technically overclocked and will need 1.35v. You get that if you have implemented a faster xmp profile.
All that is normal.

I doubt that the difference has any important impact on the cpu heat generated.
The vcore voltage needed to sustain a high multiplier is what raises the cpu temperature.
 


any extra voltage is extra power and extra heat inside rig.
as ambient will go up, cpu will be cooled less efficiently. in this case I don't think we will see more than 1*C. Still it is :)

yea i have excellent cooling/case no water cooler but since faster memory timming dont really do a whole lot just wondered if the dram voltage effects cpu heat as somewheres it crosses the uncore and theres a memory controller inside the cpu but dont know if it effect the heat of cpu or not. isnt it that dram voltage over 1.35 can shorten the life of the cpu
