It looks like my RAM is making my CPU temp go higher by 10C at least, there is a compatibility issue between the memory and the Motherboard. Currently the memory runs @ 2400MHz - 1.5v. Would it be OK to alter the voltage manually and make it 1.35v? and keep same memory speed? My ram's clock speed is 3GHz but running at 2.4GHz

 

Shall I go ahead and reduce the voltage or would that be not safe?
