[SOLVED] RAM uses too much voltage - HELP

[Georgeecbkr]

Right I bought some DDR4 2x8gb G Skills Trident Z 4600mhz ram second hand and it works perfectly until I ran into a few blue screens while gaming so decided to underclock it to 3200mhz and it’s been fine ever since, occasionally a game will crash but no BSOD. I then realised that I’ve bought ram that runs at 1.5V and intels recommended maximum voltage is 1.35 V+5% (1.417 V). So I need advice on what to do, should I just unclock speed and voltage or is it a better idea to get new ram or new cpu - hit me with my options

Motherboard - MSI Z390i gaming edge
CPU - i7-8086k @ stock 4.0ghz
Ram - g skills trident z 4600mhz
Gpu - Asus strix rtx 2080
Storage - 970 pro 500gb Samsung (100% health)
2TB 860 pro samsung (100% health)
PSU - Corsair rm650x
Any more questions needed please ask away

Welp you could lower down the voltage via bios.

I’ve only really been into building PCs properly in the last few months. Is it as simple as just lowering the voltage and leaving it at 4600mhz?

Well, it should fix your problem.

Not all combinations of CPUs, motherboards and DIMMs will reach the maximum advertised clock of a given set of DIMMs. Intel itself does not officially support DDR4 speeds beyond 2666MT/s, anything beyond that is considered overclocking and your failure to reach 4200MT/s stable could be entirely luck-of-the-draw on the CPU.
