Hello! I have a desktop with Intel Core i7 8700K, MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC and T-Force 2x8GB 4000 MHz Xtreem CL18 Golden Series. I raised via UEFI the basic 2133 MHz to 3866 MHz. There is some setting to do it, but it is not XMP for sure, because XMP didn't work out at all. The point is, I noticed two values of voltage to have been raised by themselves: CPUIO(1,4 V) and CPUSA(1,35 V). Also, DRAM(1,4 V).Are they ok? Thx

Solution
To highly overclock RAM like you did, you need to increase:
1. DRAM voltage
2. Input/Output (CPUIO)
3. System Agent (CPUSA)
-------------------------
Your DRAM voltage is borderline fine (1.4v is the max recommended, 1.2v is default) but the other two are very high (1.0v...

Your DRAM voltage is borderline fine (1.4v is the max recommended, 1.2v is default) but the other two are very high (1.0v stock). You might wanna drop to 3600MHz or fine tune your voltages by decreasing and testing.

Also, overclock heat up the RAM and motherboard components. Make sure you have adequate airflow.
