Hello.
Is there any advantage when going for DDR4 RAM with higher frequency (+500~600MHz) but also higher voltage (+0.15V)?
For example, these two:

One is 2666MHz@1.2V and the other is 3200MHz@1.35V and they both have almost the same timings. This makes me think that 3200 is simply preoverclocked variant. 3200 also costs 15% more (at least on my local market). And there are a lot of DDR4 2400-2666@1.2V offers on the craigslist right now, so the competition and hence prices out there are quite attractive.
Can I just save some money by going for 2666, overclocking it to 3200@1.35V and getting the same performance? Is that not guaranteed that I can reach that speed at 1.35V?
