  • g.skill trident z 3200mhz cl 16 2x8GB running at 1.36v (xpm profile)

    Hello,
    i have asus z390-i gaming, which is btw supporting my ram - g.skill trident z 3200mhz cl16 2x8GB. I checked exact model name. I activated xmp profile, which is running at its stated frequency 3200 timings 16-18-18-38, which should be same as stated. https://www.gskill.com/product/165/1...35V16GB-(2x8GB)
    So i don't know why ram runs at 1.36v. Some motherboards are known to overvolt ram, i don't think this one is. VCCIO is running little bit high 1.328 max. and VCCSA 1.224 max. I wanted to lower these, but didn't have time yet to figure it out. And yet these values may be little bit higher than reported by hwmonitors, but in bios they are same! I just want to make sure, it doesn't run on higher voltage than needed. Also not sure if rbg couldn't cause higher voltages on ram. Also i don't feel confident manually changing ram timings, because once my ram got corrupted, just by slight changes to basic timings. Even i read this should affect only stability and highly unlikely it was anything else, it was new ram and i didn't change anything else... But i read like from 10 sources, changing ram timings can't damage it, really weird!

    1.36V is no problem at all, that is normal for many motherboards as they do not have 1.35V option. As long as the system is stable everything should be fine. Especially for that, XMP Profile alone will take care of all settings so you should be ready to go.
