What RAM voltages are you running? Also, what is it rated for and what speeds are you running it at?

I run it at 1.35 volts.

1.35 is standard DDR4 voltage.

 

What RAM do you have, and what speed are you running it at?

What are the RAM temps?

It isn't, the JEDEC spec provides the standard voltage as 1.2V, although for basically everything above 2666 MHz, especially if it is overclocked and not at that speed at default, it will very likely use 1.35V so the voltage is nothing to worry about.

Ok, your correct. I should have provided more detail. DDR4 spec is 1.20v, but as you said basically any RAM with an XMP profile will be 1.35, and 1.35 is nothing to be worried about. 1.45+ is where heat starts to be a serious concern.

When you say the RAM is burning do you mean hot to the touch or do you actually see or smell something?

 

What temp is the RAM reporting?

Just to tuch

Its temp is around 70C°

...yeah that's a little hot.

 

Where are you reading that it's only running at 1.35V?

 

I understand this is DDR4 but when I O.C.d DDR3 at around 1.6~1.65V they got pretty warn but not 70°C warm. DDR4 less voltage usually means less heat.

 

Do all the sticks feel this way or only one/two? If you remove the O.C. do they still feel hot?

I removed O.C. and they are not hot anymore. And first stick is much hotter than the other one

This could be a mistaken BIOS setting or potentially a faulty stick. Did you try enabling X.M.P. or are you deliberately trying to go past X.M.P.?

 

Is the first stick closer or further from the CPU?

First stick is closer to cpu. 

I go past X.M.P.
