can the difference ram voltage destroy my computer components?
8GB ddr3 1600 1.5v
8gb ddr3 1600 1.35v

with cpu-z
it said dual and can read 16gb
and they have the same timings table /specifications

my motherboard asus p8h67m pro

i dont see any problem, but i want to make sure about it

can increase the voltage (1.35 to 1.5) fix the problem?
if it can solve it, how to increase the ram voltage? i dont understand with the bios setting

DDR3 base Voltage is 1.35v and XMP is 1.5v. 1.5v is 100% fine for DDR3 spec memory and IMC on the chip. 

 

You cant set voltages by stick, whatever it is in the BIOS is what they run at.
