Difference between 1.2V amd 1.35V ddr4 ram

goaway
Go to solution Solved by Lotus,

Anything 1.35v is basically a factory overclocked stick. 1.2v is the standard operating voltage. Same thing with 1.5v versus 1.65v in DDR3 sticks.

 

The 1.2v stick is NOT a low voltage module, but rather the standard voltage.

So is there any important difference between 1.2 and 1.35V DDR4 memory that I should be aware of? Looking at these two meomory kits: http://www.prisjakt.no/product.php?j=3275218,3382702

 Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 | Intel i5-6600K@4.6GHz | Asus Maxiumus VIII Hero | G-Skill Trident Z 2X8GB DDR4 3200MHz

 Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX TG | Samsung 850 Evo 1TB | Fractal Design Kelvin S36 | EVGA SuperNova G2 750W

Acer Predator X34A | Logitech Proteus Spectrum G502 | Corsair K70 Cherry MX Brown

Lower volts equal less power used, but it's not a lot. Higher volt kits reach higher speeds as well, not that it matters a whole lot for system RAM unless you're editing videos all day.

well here is the difference.

 

i am taking your post literally.

 

In maths difference = subtraction

 

so therefore the difference between 1.35 and 1.2 is 0.15 volts.

 

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god i'm an asshole.

 

Sorry i was bored!

The difference is, one is overclocked higher than the other. 1.35v is perfectly fine for 24/7 use. 1.2v is just the JEDEC standard for DDR4 voltage. Both kits would work fine, but the 3200mhz kit is obviously faster. As far as power consumption goes, you won't notice much of a difference at all. A watt or two at most.

My corsair ddr4 kit came with two xmp profiles one at 1.2v 2666 other is 1.35v at 2800. I paid for the 2666 so the other is just a bonus.
