If i'm OC on my CPU and I have the voltage mode set to manual, am I able to change the Ram voltage without making any changes to the CPU VCORE if my memory is causing BSOD from stability issues? or would have the CPU VCORE prevent the voltage from going any higher that I set on the Ram Voltage?

 

My OC is 4.8ghz on a i7-7700k and my Ram Freq is set to 2666mhz, and 3000mhz is on box

If they are different voltages why would I get stability issues if I OC my ram? While OC my CPU?

because overclocking ram overclocks the IMC in the CPU. You should be able to set XMP and the ram should set it's timings and voltage itself

I ran linx for memory test and I got a BSOD from it so I'm not sure why that happend

are you using XMP for ram overclocking?

yep, just tweak that voltage in BIOS

Negative I am not, but I applied XMP and did all that and still got freezes and BSOD's from linx when running it... keep in mind linx barely even hits the CPU compared to other stress tests so I doubt it's a CPU stability issue

2 things t try - tests the sticks individually in Linux, and test them in windows - they could be faulty
