Is everything good I have 16gb of ddr4 corsair dominator platinum. Are my voltages to high and where do I check them?

Voltages can be check via the bios.

If you're overlooking ram past the point it should be, then don't! It's pretty much pointless, unless you're doing hardcore benchmarks for hwbot.org. Then you'll need to squeeze everything your system has for a higher score.

Just so you know, gaming is NOT the only thing in the world. OCing RAM is "pretty much pointless" for games and most everyday apps; but, I know and use APPS where increasing RAM from 2133mhz to 3200mhz was more effective than adding a physical core to a perfectly multithread workload, so it would NOT be useless.

I was just making an assumption! Most people just game...

Did you set up the xmp profile in the bios. If you haven't, do that now. It is the proper way to get ram to its rated speed.

 

If you have already done that, just give a little more voltage to the ram. For instance, if the stock is 1,2v, try putting them at 1,22V and add go up in small increments until it is stable. But usually, it should not be necessary if you just use the XMP profile

Cpu:i5-4690k Gpu:r9 280x with some other things
