Hey, I currently have 1.35 V DDR3L RAM in my Asrock B150m pro4s/d3 motherboard because of my i5 7500 cpu. If the RAM runs at 1.5 V it could damage the memory cache of the cpu. So today when I looked in the BIOS it said that my RAM gets 1.5 Volt and I somehow can't change that. Now I'm in fear that my Cpu could get damaged... Or does it just show 1.5 V and my RAM only uses 1.35 Volt?

I'm really uncomfortable here and thanks in advance, Max

Can't comment on whether the memory is actually receiving 1.35 V despite BIOS showing 1.50 V as this motherboard has not been used. However, in BIOS, the actual DRAM Voltage is usually shown for most if not all systems.

You could "force" the memory to run at 1.35 V, by manually adjusting the DRAM Voltage in BIOS (save settings, exit and reboot).

1.35 V DDR3L memory is just 1.50 V memory that is capable of running at 1.35 V instead of the normal 1.50 V. But this memory is still capable of running at 1.50 V, and should be capable of running up to 1.65 V without damage to the memory nor any other component, including the CPU.
