Hello, welcome! I'm a new PC builder and have a query about RAM compatibility. How do I verify if my CPU matches the voltage requirements of the RAM? My system uses an Intel i3-10100, but I don’t see any details on the voltage on the product page. The RAM I have is OLOy DDR4 (2x16, 3200) which operates at 1.35 volts. I’m building with an MSI Z490M. Could you let me know if there’s more info I should provide? Thanks for your assistance, -DR

It seems to be functioning properly. Reports I’ve seen don’t show a negative impact. Quality isn’t exceptional, but it should perform as expected.

The voltage requirements are typically standardized for CPUs, usually around 1.35V or 1.5V. Intel specifications generally list these values, so you can expect to find them in their official documentation.

RAM voltage isn't related to the CPU. VCCSA and VCCIO have specific values—around 1.05V for SA and 0.95V for IO—and sometimes the motherboard increases them when using high-speed memory. Keep it below 1.3V and 1.2V for optimal performance.

Confirmation sent – RAM was added and everything functioned smoothly at 1.2 V. No adjustments required, as you likely anticipated.
