I set Dram voltage in bios to 1.35v but cpu-z and hwinfo shows 1.5v

so... I set Dram voltage in my bios to 1.35v and when I save and go again into bios it says 1.35v but when I run cpu-z and hwinfo it says 1.5v. why?

Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 245
Ram: 2x8gb DDR3 1600mhz CL9 (9-9-9-24-2N) Ripjaws X from Gskill
the ram came at 1333mhz cl9 at 1.35v with an xmp profile of 1600mhz cl9 at 1.5v
I was trying to downclock the voltage to 1.35v, when I set the dram voltage in bios to 1.35v it works fine, I can see it in bios, I can boot and everything, I was just gonna run a memtest to see if its really stable but both hwinfo and cpu-z states it as 1.5v even tho bios says 1.35v
any ideas why?

Are you sure the voltage you see in the BIOS is the voltage it runs at, not the voltage it's rated for? And if you have the XMP profile set to a 1.5V one, it HAS to run 1.5V, otherwise you'd probably be crashing directly after POSTing, or not being able to boot at all.

Also, are you sure the voltage readout in the software is correct? Because if software says something else than the BIOS, trust the BIOS.

Software is not reporting current operating value.

yeah I am sure about the voltage, I even thought the cpu could've a dram voltage of its own and I was changing it but I searched and couldn't find nothing related to it plus I thought that about the xmp too, that it could have being affecting somehow the voltage even tho the bios says 1.35v so I changed the timings, command rate and etc all manually to be like the xmp profile except for the voltage, it runs fine like I said, only the program states it as 1.5v somehow while the bios says 1.35v

to be pretty honest I think its mostly likely it, because cpu-z only states the already built-in profiles and not the ones I made, this I can confirm but I thought hw info would show the new profile but again it only states the already built-in profiles but they do have a profile saying "xmp 2" but its all empty no idea why. anyway as long as it works I am fine as I was just doing a voltage test for a new cpu + mobo to see if I needed to buy new ram or not, but I will try it again when the new cpu + mobo arrives.
