Hye before this im using 2666mhz kingston value ram 16gb ,today i upgrade to 3200mhz 16gb ( https://www.klevv.com/ken/products_details/memory/Klevv_BoltX.php )

First when i first time plug it in, it only 2666mhz, and then i change it to 3200mhz in bios ,in dram frequency tab

and then i restart ,and it work fine

My question is i notice that on the ram body written 3200mhz 1.3v , and also on the website itself https://www.klevv.com/ken/products_details/memory/Klevv_BoltX.php
now im only using 1.2v


Should i change xmp profile to this ?

I prefer my first setting,3200mhz with 1.2v ,will it damage the ram because i dont use 1.35v? or is it better just use 3200mhz with 1.35?


Thank you

It is not uncommon when OC RAM to have to bump the voltage some for stability. If it's stable and working fine it should not hurt to leave it lower, but if the manufacturer suggested the higher voltage, it was probably determined by testing on their end (for the suggestion to be made).

If it works with 1.2V I would leave it be.
It might put less stress on the RAM.
1.3V is probably the recommended voltage.
if you have stability issues you can bump it up.

Test for basic stability by going through at least 1 pass of Memtest86 at your current voltage.
If it returns any errors bump the voltage to the recommended.

Hye thank you

Here memtest result

Hye,thank you

So it okay to run it with lower voltage, and it is normal?

Hye, thank you

Stability issues like BSOD right?so far im not having any

Yes so I would leave it be.
Only use as much voltage as you need.
Same thing with OCing CPUs.
