RAM suddenly needs more voltage to boot

Out of the blue, PC started bootlooping after a Windows & GPU driver update and kicked me back to UEFI (I don't think Windows or the GPU driver upgrade could've been the issue since my PC wouldn't even POST)

The PC booted up fine without DOCP enabled, but enabling it caused the bootloop again until I posted in safe mode. I ended up needing to bump up my DRAM voltage from 1.35 to 1.37 volts, everything booted up fine.

Any ideas what this could mean? Maybe a RAM stick is going bad? I haven't changed anything hardware-wise in over a year.

 

For reference, I have a 5900X, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3600 (4 sticks), ASUS Rog Strix B550E motherboard

I mean idk why but it's probably not a huge problem, ex: my RAM (several different types and mobos)never booted with XMP with anything but 1.36v ...

 

Otherwise if this keeps going it could hint at CPU degrading.
