Hello

 

What is a safe voltage for DDR4, I was looking at a 1.35V kit in Quad Channel, do you think this is a safe voltage or should you stick with 1.2V

 

Thanks

are you rendering videos and edit or something? If not, no need even for OC.

If your getting a 1.35v kit then I'm guessing the Ram speeds are upwards of 2400. I bought a kit of 4x4gb PNY Anarchy at 2133mhz and I just gave it 1.35v and pushed it up to 2600mhz. No need to change the stock voltage, especially for RAM
