Flare X 3200Mhz Cl 14 Samsung B die voltages.

Is 1.5 volts a safe 24/7 voltage to be pushing these things to?

Would help to have the product code/series as well as which motherboard your using. But honestly for DDR4 RAM it's usually 1.2v and 1.35v when overclocked at 3200Mhz. They were specifically designed to use less voltage than DDR3 RAMs so there's no point to pushing to 1.5v. 1.35 is optimal already.

It's the F4-3200C14D-16GFX.
I've got the Gigabyte X470 ultra gaming with Ryzen 2700X.
Yeah I know 1.35 is optimal. It runs fine at rated frequency/timings but im trying to get a stable overclock at 3466MHz without loosening timings, well at least not much.
And im just concerned pushing it to 1.5V may significantly shorten the RAM lifespan. A 20% lifespan decrease I don't care about, but a 50% I would be worrying. And im not planning on running this overclock 24/7, just when running CPU intensive flight Sims and Arma 3 where I'll get a noticeable benefit from the extra RAM performance.

It's unlikely life span would be affected because of high voltage, only heat may do that. There's no formula to calculate deterioration, they may just die or start throwing errors. Keep them cool and they will survive but 1.5v is really pushing it.
