OC voltage question

Im using a 2700x and a gigabyte x470 AORUS Gaming 7 board, the voltage is only set at 1.215 and clocked at 3.9 currently and runs fine, but I start having issues at higher clocks, I assume its because the voltage is not going higher. What can I safely step up to? Also my ram is 3200 set at 1.35 and it doesn't like being set any higher than the advertised 3200, it goes into boot loops at anything higher, fairly normal? Im pretty new to overclocking so bare with me on these questions that are likely easy for a lot of you

1.4V for Zen+ if you can cool it, usually between 1.35 to 1.4V.

Yup, that's why it got binned to its current XMP settings rather than more expensive kits running higher speed or better timings. Not like you can't try push it though, spend some time to increase and decrease memory voltage and SOC voltage can potentially unlock more performance out of it.

I've went up to 1.45v on my Gaming 7 and I had no issues, that was testing, though, and right now I'm at around 1.39v. I even tested 1.5v for shits and giggles but I don't suggest it as it's not necessary.
