I have the following and have a question regarding the memory voltage if anyone can shed some light on it for me.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £360.39 (includes shipping: £10.50)


If I leave the defaults on in the bios for the memory it defaults to 1.36V, but shouldnt this be running at 1.35V as per the Corsair specs? I manually change the voltage to 1.35V in the BIOS (all the other timings chagnes work fine) but it will not change to 1.35V, just boot up into windows and shows as 1.36V in both HWINfo and Command Centre. Surely if I chose 1.35V and it couldnt boot with that voltage it would fail to boot rather than just automatically up the voltage?

If I try to change it in MSI Command Centre it wont change either. Would there be something in the bios that ive missed or should I just leave it as it?
 
It may be 1.35V but report via mboard sensors as 1.36V in windows. Also it is not worth stressing over, DDR4 is quite capable of running at 1.45V+ and the difference in power consumption is negligable.
 
As above - with first release Ryzen i pushed 1.4V through all 3000/3200 LPX sticks i built with to try and gain stability at 2933MHz+ before the rush of AGESA releases made 1.35V the norm - for most.
 
Cheers all, I kinda guessed that but thought I would just double check in case I was being a muppet, which is a very real possibility.
