Ram differences?

[Eclipse2025]

So i got a build from build redux. 
amd 5

32gb of ddr5 4800 ram

gtx 3070

 

decided to buy some more ram

got the same speed, same brand, as far as i know should be identical to whats already in the machine. 

i load into the bios and see that the new ram has a difference voltage. (The new one is the 1.1v)

And if it the bios isnt on an expo profile it runs at 3600mhz

if its on profile 1 its on 5200mhz

profile 2 4800mhz

 

am i right to assume that this is in the basic sense overclocking the ram?

havent messed with overclocking or anything to this degree before and im just trying to be sure i got the right stuff and am not going to short out a brand new machine.

Intels XMP and AMD's EXPO is an overclock preset that the RAM is rated for out of the factory.  For some legal reason all RAM must come with its standard speed out of the factory and you must apply the rated overclock yourself as XMP or EXPO in the BIOS.
There is no guarantee that this will work as it IS an overclock, but the RAM is rated and tested at said speed for the failure rate is very low.
Nothing wrong here Your computer will not short or get damaged doing this, completely fine and within spec.
What can happen is that the computer will BSOD ( Blue screen of death ) due to the overclock not being stable, you can then try to run 4800mhz. BSOD is not dangerous even though the name has death in it, its doing this to prevent itself from taking damage.

appreciated. im just used to running laptops that you cant do much or anything to. and i knew about bsod. i just wanted to be sure that i got the exact same memory so it wasnt forced to run at the slower speed and sacrifice performance when i could have gotten the correct one the first time.
