Comparison of 1.35V and 1.5V RAM specifications
Comparison of 1.35V and 1.5V RAM specifications
This could be a confusing question. You're assembling a new PC and are curious about RAM specifications. I'm familiar with the fundamentals—speed and timing. I know you can push RAM over its base speed. I understand voltage basics and that increasing overclocking might require higher voltages, similar to CPUs. However, when comparing modules like those from G.SKILL, I see different listed voltages for the same model. For instance, the F4-4000C15Q-32GTZR appears at 1.5V and the F4-4000C17Q-32GTZR at 1.35V. Could the tighter timing of the first require a higher voltage? Is this just a factory setting? If you manage to further overclock it, would the 1.5V version last as long as the 1.35V one? Appreciate your insight!
